https://simplecast.com Dog Days Hosted by the trainers of Woof Academy, Dog Days helps dog owners decode baffling behaviors so they can understand what their dog is really trying to say. Each episode unpacks real-life stories from the field to reveal the mindset behind common challenges like reactivity, disobedience, or sudden aggression — and offers insight into the relationship dynamics that drive them. You won’t find one-size-fits-all training tips here. Instead, you’ll hear from compassionate, often humorous experts who help you build clarity, confidence, and connection with your dog by shifting how you show up. Whether your pup pulls the sheets off the bed or pins other dogs at the park, you’re in good company — and you’re not alone. 2025 Woof Academy en Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:00:00 +0000 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:00:13 +0000 https://dog-days.simplecast.com Dog Days https://image.simplecastcdn.com/images/11c0a039-f90b-4629-b396-b9f78a2ec11e/04a22b73-4760-43e3-bab8-9c3c44430f11/3000x3000/dog-days-cover-20-1.jpg?aid=rss_feed https://dog-days.simplecast.com episodic Hosted by the trainers of Woof Academy, Dog Days helps dog owners decode baffling behaviors so they can understand what their dog is really trying to say.

In Episode 5 of our AKC Dog Group series, we're sprinting headfirst into the world of the Sporting Group. The largest of the AKC groups, these 30+ breeds are purpose-built to partner with human hunters. Hard-wired to lure, flush, and retrieve feathered game with laser-like precision, these dogs are elite performers who just happen to need a whole lot of love when they are off duty. We break down the Setters, Spaniels, Pointers, and Retrievers — and why coaching these canine athletes is equal parts game plan and group hug.

This is Dog Days, where we dive into what’s really going on beneath your dog’s behavior—and how understanding their needs can unlock real, lasting change. You’ll hear honest stories of transformation, unexpected breakthroughs, and the kind of training wisdom that will help you feel more confident, connected, and calm with your dog.

Because the most effective training isn't about having only the right reward — it's about having a genuine conversation. When you learn to communicate in a language your dog understands, consequences create clarity, and the reward makes more sense. That's when real, BALANCED learning begins.

And that means making room for all of them, even the ones with teeth and talons. In this episode, we dive into one of the most important (and occasionally heart-stopping) realities of life in today’s increasingly crowded world: predators are part of the deal. We focus on two of the most fascinating ones — coyotes and owls — and what it actually looks like to share space with them. Along the way, we introduce you to Jonny Quest, the teenage coyote who made himself our unofficial ranch greeter for several months. Was he a threat? A curiosity? A neighbor? Probably all three. We also get practical: what can you do to reduce the risk of a close encounter? Because predators aren't villains. They're just doing what they do. And if humans have been asking "why can't we all just get along?" for centuries, maybe it's time we started answering that question — one coyote, one owl, one dog at a time.

]]> Tools of the (Dog) Trade: Collars, Leashes, and Other Clever Contraptions Pamela Chandler, Rachael Camara, Noel Early 00:58:16 In this episode, we wander off the beaten path (and onto the sidewalk, and maybe into a muddy field) to look closely at the tools of dog training. Collars, leashes, interrupters, and shiny new gadgets all claim to “fix” your dog—but we’re here to figure out which ones actually help your dog think clearly and choose well. This isn’t a quick shopping list; it’s a smart, slightly nerdy tour of what works, what doesn’t, and why your dog deserves more than a one-and-done solution. Good tools don’t control your dog; they help you speak the same language. From basic collars to high-tech helpers, the right tools can make your dog easier to talk to than most humans. And if at first you don’t succeed? Well, that’s why they make more than one kind of collar.

Don’t let the name fool you—these dogs still need exercise… even if some of them would rather supervise from the couch (we’re looking at you, Bulldogs). We break down why this group has become the “miscellaneous drawer” of the dog world, where breeds that don’t quite fit anywhere else end up. From tiny charmers to larger-than-life characters, we explore their wildly different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and looks. Think of it as the box-of-chocolates chapter in canine companionship: with the Non-Sporting group, you never really know what you’re going to get—and we’re here to help you choose wisely.

This is Dog Days, where we dive into what’s really going on beneath your dog’s behavior—and how understanding their needs can unlock real, lasting change. You’ll hear honest stories of transformation, unexpected breakthroughs, and the kind of training wisdom that will help you feel more confident, connected, and calm with your dog.

You won't find one-size-fits-all training tips here. Instead, you'll hear from compassionate, often humorous experts who help you build an enduring trust with your dog by shifting how you show up to the party. Whether your pup fits the description or not, there's something here for every dog parent.
