Girls Just Want To Train Dogs

We didn't die, but it felt like it was close for a while. We've been sick - taking turns cancelling on each other and being bed bound. But we're BACK! on todays episode we talk about some of the best and worst advise we've gotten - and if we followed them!  We would love to hear your takes on the best or worst advice you've gotten in the dog world.  HOSTS: Alba @saneisboring Emma @ravenk9dogtraining 

Last episode we talked about that we need to take care of ourselves as we take care of our dogs - but does everyone take that great care of their dogs? Could we do better in sport, and pet dogs, and how do we navigate being around people we don't align with?  We talk about things we have done that we're ashamed of and Alba has gotten a lecture about how to not use her mic after this episode.  Hosts: Emma @ravenk9dogtraining Alba @saneisboring

Emma & Alba are back for Season 2 of Girls Just Want To Train Dogs! We talk about our summer (spoiler: we worked all summer) and our mental health. Alba found a snake under her house and we try to figure out how we can be as good at taking care of ourselves as we are taking care of the dogs.  Hosts:  Alba @saneisboring Emma @ravenk9dogtraining

Ida has placed second on the world championship for bird dogs, have a successful business training hunting dogs and wrote a book about reward based hunting dog training.  We have a very interesting conversation about how the competition scene affects breeding, how it is to be a girl in another male dominated dog area and Ida gives us some refreshing tips about how to handle that situation.

We’ve been picking up a comment from one of our listeners about being new in dog sports and finding it hard to get the space and wiggle room to own your own training without offending your decoy, trainer or more experienced training buddies with boundaries or suggestions. How do we navigate the respect for the experience and the knowledge around us without having to give in and give up everything we want to try, believe in or see working?  Emma tried to spark an inspiring conversation about where in the world we want to live, but Tanya is neutral to everything and Alba wants her mom.
