Dagny Kaspar (owner of The Pals Academy, Michigan's Top Dog Trainer of 2023, and my cousin) sits down with me to explore the crucial role socialization plays in a dog's life. We talk about how to create positive social experiences, manage expectations, and understand your dog's unique personality ... and discuss parallels between dog and human socialization. At the end of the day, we're all just meat sacks trying our best.

Discover:

  • Why dog socialization means so much more than just dog-to-dog interactions
  • How we can set our dogs up for socialization success
  • How empathizing with our dogs' feelings in social settings can help us both
  • How to adjust our mindset to celebrate the small wins with our dogs

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
