About this listen

Bark, Book, and Broomstick is a cozy, witchy dog training podcast for humans who want partnership—not power struggles.


Hosted by Maureen (practicing witch, professional dog trainer, and founder of Bond Weaving), each episode blends nervous system science with spellwork, consent-based training, and tarot as a practical tool for your day-to-day relationship with your dog.


If you’re tired of dominance theory, “alpha” advice, and being told your dog is “bad,” you’re in the right place. We’re here to rebuild trust, regulate first, and turn “naughty” behavior into understandable communication.


This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a replacement for veterinary care.

  • The Hierophant

    The Hierophant
    Feb 12 2026

    If you’ve ever felt judged for how you work with your dog—by trainers, family, the internet, or that loud voice in your own head—this one’s for you.


    The Hierophant is about tradition, authority, and the rules we inherit… and it’s also about choosing your own path when the old one doesn’t fit. We’ll talk about why “obedience culture” can fray the bond, what real guidance looks like, and a simple practice to build reliability without force.

    Who I am (And Why You Should Listen to Me)
    Feb 4 2026
    In this cozy fireside episode, I share the real origin story—bringing my “dream dog” Daisy home mid-pandemic, realizing the usual training advice didn’t feel right, and following a trail of corvids (yes, really) into a partnership-first way of working with dogs that blends nervous system science with honest spellwork.

    The Empress
    Jan 26 2026

    If you’re exhausted—and your dog feels like a burden instead of a companion—this episode is a soft place to land.


    The Empress reminds us that the relationship isn’t something you earn after your dog behaves. The relationship is the soil behavior grows in. We’ll talk co-regulation, repair, and a simple ritual for returning to safety after a hard moment.
