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.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dog-days-7345375"},"episode":{"title":"Dog Breeds: The Toy Group - Ruling a World Near You","slug":"dog-breeds-the-toy-group-ruling-a-world-near-you","published_at":"2025-07-02T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dog-days-7345375/dog-breeds-the-toy-group-ruling-a-world-near-you","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dog-days-7345375","url":"https://dog-days.simplecast.com/episodes/dog-breeds-the-toy-group-ruling-a-world-near-you-Daa9fdE9","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/a8de922e-ebe1-4efa-9874-09bcf85f8e4f/episodes/270ea2ac-0c8f-44c5-a871-14f043472959/audio/90f68c23-118b-43f4-adc4-517ec2903813/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=KwcXvRbx","summary":"Today's episode is the first in our series on dog breeds.

We focus on the Toy Breeds today, and in subsequent episodes, we'll discuss each of the seven AKC-recognized groups. 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.
