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":"Tools of the (Dog) Trade: Collars, Leashes, and Other Clever Contraptions","slug":"tools-of-the-dog-trade-collars-leashes-and-other-clever-contraptions","published_at":"2026-02-11T15:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dog-days-7345375/tools-of-the-dog-trade-collars-leashes-and-other-clever-contraptions","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dog-days-7345375","url":"https://dog-days.simplecast.com/episodes/tools-of-the-dog-trade-collars-leashes-and-other-clever-contraptions-xzftS8vg","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/a8de922e-ebe1-4efa-9874-09bcf85f8e4f/episodes/1ddb7a74-22b9-4e72-be3f-7ad67b6c055a/audio/38e67827-1b8e-4c09-ba3a-2903e604e7b0/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=KwcXvRbx","summary":"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.","meta_description":"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.
