Together, they explore how training, nutrition, fostering, and real-world exposure work together to build confident, well-adjusted dogs.

The discussion breaks down the idea of structured socialization, emphasizing that it's more than just dogs interacting with each other. Michelle shares insight from her training work, highlighting how everyday environments, consistency, and clear communication play a major role in long-term behavioral success.

Toni and Emily reflect on their experiences fostering rescue dogs, including the challenges of managing multiple dogs with different needs and energy levels. The episode reinforces a judgment-free approach rooted in education, patience, and small, intentional efforts that create lasting change for both dogs and their humans.

In this solo episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske dives into the growing issue of pet obesity and why weight management is critical to long-term health and quality of life. With more than half of dogs and cats now considered overweight, Toni explains how overfeeding, excessive treats, and starch-heavy diets—especially kibble—contribute to the problem.

She challenges common feeding assumptions, discusses portion control and fresh food additions, and shares personal insight from her dog Bo's weight-loss journey. The conversation also touches on fasting, treat habits, and the role humans play in pet weight gain. Maybe it's time to rethink daily feeding choices and join an ongoing focus on sustainable, realistic approaches to helping pets live longer, healthier lives.

In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske welcomes back Rebecca Rose of inClover Pet Supplements for an in-depth conversation focused on skin and coat health, supplementation, and what truly supports pets from the inside out. Using Toni's own rescue dog Grayson as a real-world example, the discussion explores how nutrition and targeted supplements can dramatically improve skin recovery and coat quality after early health challenges.

Rebecca breaks down the science behind inClover's Skin & Coat supplement, highlighting the role of clinically tested levels of biotin, zinc, and omega-3s, and explains why sourcing—particularly algae-based DHA—matters for both effectiveness and environmental sustainability. The conversation emphasizes repairing skin at the cellular level rather than relying solely on topical solutions.

They also dive into label transparency, inactive ingredients, and the importance of NASC certification, offering listeners a clearer understanding of how to evaluate supplements responsibly. From dogs and cats to horses and even zoo animals, the episode reinforces a core message: thoughtful nutrition and daily supplementation help pets stay resilient in the face of stress, aging, and environmental challenges.
