Ruff Around The Edges Podcast
Welcome to where all things Ruff Around The Edges Podcast live.
The Ruff Around The Edges podcast is all about sharing stories of force-free dog training journeys with challenging, reactive and aggressive dogs and the impact living with those dogs has on our daily lives and our mental health.
I hope that hearing these stories can help to make people feel less alone. We love our dogs to pieces but sometimes it’s hard and then it’s simply nice to hear from others going through something similar. This podcast is about us trying to teach our dogs, but more importantly it’s about what our dogs are teaching us.
So, consider this your online peer support group, whose group meetings you can attend whilst driving your car, working out or snoozing on the sofa.

Mindset episode 022 | Thinking about changing is changing, so is relapsing, so is not thinking about changing
Beating yourself up about being stuck in the "I kind of want to change, but I can't get myself to change, so I must not want the change bad enough" is one of the most counterproductive ways to talk to yourself. Change isn't all about action. It starts with you (and...
