1. Canine Conversations
Professional dog trainers discuss behaviour, training methods and the science behind why dogs do what they do. Balanced, well-informed and respectful of different training approaches. A great listen for anyone who wants to understand their dog better.
2. The Dog Show with Nick and Joe
Nick and Joe talk dogs with the enthusiasm of two people who genuinely love the subject. Breed profiles, training tips, funny stories and interviews with vets and behaviourists. Light and fun but with real substance underneath.
3. The Puppy Training Podcast
Focused entirely on getting puppyhood right — socialisation, crate training, biting, toilet training and building good habits from day one. Clear, step-by-step advice from professional trainers who understand the overwhelm of a new puppy. Essential listening for new dog owners.
4. Drinking from the Toilet
Hannah Branigan is a professional trainer and competitive obedience handler who gets properly nerdy about the science of animal learning. If you want to understand reinforcement, shaping and the mechanics of training at a deeper level, start here.
5. The Fenzi Dog Sports Podcast
From the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy, this podcast covers competition obedience, agility, nosework and everything in between. The hosts are experienced competitors who share practical training advice without the ego. Essential for anyone in dog sports.
6. Paws and Reward
Marissa Martino focuses on force-free, positive reinforcement training with a heavy emphasis on the human-animal bond. Episodes cover reactivity, fear, resource guarding and other common challenges with real compassion and scientific backing.
7. The Dog Trainer
Part of the Quick and Dirty Tips network, The Dog Trainer delivers short, practical episodes on common behaviour problems. Lead pulling, barking, separation anxiety — each episode gives you a clear action plan. The delivery is calm, clear and refreshingly jargon-free.
8. Can I Pet Your Dog?
Pure dog appreciation. The hosts celebrate dogs they've met, dogs they want to meet and dogs on the internet. It's joyful, silly and exactly the kind of thing you need after a long day. Not educational — just delightful.
9. Teach Me Tricks
A trick training podcast that breaks down specific behaviours step by step. Each episode covers a new trick — from basics to impressive party pieces — with clear instructions you can follow along with at home. Great for building your dog's confidence.
10. Your Dogs Friend Podcast
A community-driven podcast that brings together trainers, vets and behaviourists to tackle common dog ownership questions. Episodes are focused and practical — the kind of show where you finish an episode and immediately try something with your dog.
