About This Podcast

Have you ever stopped to wonder if we're truly grasping the lessons our canine companions are trying to teach us? I'm Julie Hart, expert dog rehabilitator, here with something you may not know: the greatest teachers about dogs aren't necessarily human – they're actually the dogs themselves. Welcome to What Dogs Have Taught Me, where we dive deep into the educational, practical, and sometimes controversial aspects of understanding our canine companions. Join me and a lineup of special guests and industry professionals as we tackle the struggles of dog training and rehabilitation, offering honest and truthful insights into how to navigate them using dogs as our guides. Whether you're a seasoned dog trainer, a devoted rescuer, a loving foster parent, or simply someone who shares their life with a dog, this podcast is for you. My mission is to enhance the lives of dogs and humans alike by sharing the unique perspective of our four-legged friends and uncovering what we can learn from them. Get ready for entertaining stories, factual research, and practical tips that you can implement right away. With over a decade of experience rehabilitating and training dogs for clients and rescue, I've had the privilege of working with some of the most challenging cases, including severe fearful and feral dogs. Through fostering, rescuing, and training thousands of dogs, I've honed my approach and integrated the wisdom of my mentors with my own style. As a Certified Relationship-Based Trainer and a Certified Dog Trainer, I'm committed to applying the true essence of training principles into my work. So, whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of dog behavior, refine your training techniques, or simply revel in the magic of all things dogs, you're in the right place. Let’s have a Hart to Heart!
