Pod To The Rescue

Our podcast is for dog rescuers, fosters, adopters, and anybody who loves dogs.
Your hosts Emily and Libby (and Jenni) talk about the dog rescue world, and give training advice on common issues that occur when adopting or fostering a rescue.

Behavior is an interaction between an animal and their environment.
What your dog does changes the environment, and that change influences what happens next.
