How Enrichment & Species-Specific Communication Build Resilience In Service Dogs

Are you rushing your service dog’s training — or worse, forcing them into a role they’re not ready for?

In this eye-opening episode, we explore how true dog training success—especially with service dogs—starts with science-backed methods rooted in species-specific communication, scent-based enrichment, and mutual trust. If you're frustrated by slow progress or overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this episode offers clarity and compassion in equal measure.

In this episode:

Learn how to build service dog foundations without pressure, force, or e-collars.
Discover the powerful role of sniffing and scent enrichment in building confidence and public access reliability.
Understand why ethical dog training must consider your dog’s individual temperament, not just your personal timeline.

Listen now to learn how to ethically train your service dog using relationship-based strategies that build trust, not trauma.
