Let's Talk Dogs! The DogNation Podcast
Ever wonder why your pup thinks your sofa is a chew toy? Tune into our animated podcast for real talk, myth-busting, and honest dog parenting advice from Anubis and Zahra.
Is your sofa your dog's favorite chew toy? Anubis explains the real reasons dogs chew furniture and gives practical tips like using bitter sprays and providing better chew toys to save your decor.
The "no dogs on the furniture" rule is a classic pet parent struggle. Zahra and Anubis discuss why this rule often fails and how to set realistic boundaries with washable throws and a designated dog spot.
Many parents think a trained dog doesn't require a puppy-proofed home. We bust this myth by explaining that training is for manners, while puppy-proofing is for survival. Learn how to manage your home to keep your dog safe.
Houseplants can be a hidden danger for curious pups. We identify common toxic plants like lilies and sago palms and offer pet-safe alternatives, plus tips for keeping your dog from digging in the soil.
Scented candles and essential oil diffusers might make your home cozy, but they can be toxic or breakable. We explain the importance of moving these items to keep your curious dog out of harm's way.
Think a pet-proofed home has to be ugly? Think again. We share tips on how to achieve a "chew-proof chic" style with closed storage, performance fabrics, and washable covers that are both stylish and slobber-safe.
If you have kids, keeping their toys separate from your dog's is crucial. Zahra explains how dogs can't tell the difference, which can lead to destroyed toys and potential safety hazards.
About this collection
In our podcast episodes, we don't just talk theory. Whether we are breaking down why 'no-furniture' rules usually fail or explaining the canine cognitive equivalent of a toddler, we share the same logic used during our 1-on-1 behavior modification sessions in Bellandur. We are here to help you get the 'why' behind your dog's actions so you can fix the 'what' in your daily life.

Our 'Let's Talk Dogs!' series is an extension of our core philosophy: training is for manners, but understanding is for life.
