Home of the #1 Working Dogs Podcast!
My favorite thing in the world is to talk with other people who are passionate about working dogs. The Working Like Dogs podcast engages the most prestigious working dog leaders, trainers, handlers, researchers, authors, and yes, a celebrity or two!

We talk thoroughly about the latest topics and trends in the industry including how to keep your dog healthy, service dog training programs, the latest research about working dogs, and much more.
