  • E326- The EXACT Reason Why Your Dog Doesn't Listen Outside Your House
    Nov 4 2026

    My New Advanced Obedience Course! https://buynobaddogs.com/products/advancing-obedience-course

    Why does your dog listen perfectly inside your house but completely ignore you the second you step outside?

    In this episode of the No Bad Dogs Podcast, I break down one of the biggest mistakes dog owners make when it comes to obedience training: trying to practice beginner obedience in advanced environments.

    Just because your dog knows how to sit, stay, or come when called inside your home doesn't mean they're ready to perform those same commands around distractions, other dogs, people, and unfamiliar environments.

    The problem isn't always that your dog is stubborn or doesn't want to listen. It's that you haven't built the foundation necessary for success outside.

    We discuss the importance of incremental training, the difference between beginner and advanced obedience, and why gradually introducing distractions is essential to building a reliable, well-trained dog.

    If your dog listens inside but struggles outside, this episode will help you understand what you're missing and how to start building obedience that works in the real world.

  • E325- What to Do When Your Two Dogs Suddenly Start Fighting
    Nov 1 2026

    What do you do when two dogs living in the same household simply can't get along?

    In this episode of the No Bad Dogs Podcast, Tom Davis discusses one of the most difficult situations dog owners can face: two dogs fighting in the same home.

    Sometimes, despite your best efforts, two dogs are simply not compatible. Genetics, natural instincts, temperament, and individual personalities can all play a role in household aggression, and it's important to understand that not every conflict is the result of poor training or something the owner did wrong.

    Tom breaks down the reality of living with dogs that fight, why some relationships may never be completely repaired, and the difficult but rational decisions owners sometimes need to make.

    From managing conflict and preventing dangerous situations to understanding when separation or rehoming may be the safest option, this episode focuses on making responsible decisions that prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone involved.

    Because sometimes successful dog ownership isn't about forcing two dogs to get along. It's about recognizing what's realistic and making the safest decisions for your dogs and your family.

  • E323- Why Asking Your Dog to "SIT" Could Be DESTROYING Your Relationship
    Oct 19 2026

    You think your dog knows how to sit... but does it REALLY?

    One of the biggest mistakes dog owners make is assuming their dog understands a command when they're actually just following a treat, hand movement, or body language.

    This misunderstanding creates unrealistic expectations, frustration, and ultimately damages the relationship between you and your dog.

    In this episode of the No Bad Dogs Podcast, I break down the uncomfortable truth about obedience training, why so many owners are unknowingly setting their dogs up for failure, and how to build real communication, trust, and understanding with your dog.
