    Saved my July 4th!
    So glad I listened to their “dogs and fireworks” podcast before the Fourth of July! It helped me get a frozen Kong ready n do some sniff activities before all the fireworks began. I sat calmly with,my dog while he worked on food puzzles and it really really helped! Despite some intermittent barking he managed the loud booms and cracks well. He had an early pee. Then we both went to bed and that was that! No more barking but plenty of fireworks going on outside. Slept well n recovered. My neighbor’s sweet dog had a stress meltdown and had to be doped. Fireworks are banned here, but that stops no one. Honestly I consider this an animal welfare violation. Thanks for advocating for our loved ones.🐾🐕‍🦺🐾

    Review for BDA Podcasts
    I have been a listening to these podcasts for over 3 years now. They are packed with information and tips for training. Whenever I get stuck on how to think about something in agility I go to the archives to find a related podcasts to listen to. Nine out of ten times it is there. Thank you BDA.
  • MomOfAuss
    Great Podcast!
    I started listening to BDA in October 2021, about 2 weeks before my very first agility competition. I started with episode 1 and burned through the series in under 8 weeks! Now I stalk my notifications on Tuesdays when new episodes come out and listen on my way to agility class! I’ve learned so much from Sarah, Esteban and Jennifer over the last 300+ episodes. I feel like Im visiting with old friends when I turn on a new episode. THANK YOU for a wonderful experience!
  • BusyNHA

    Excellent Podcast!
    As the owner of a Mini Aussie, I really enjoy this podcast. We're just getting into agility as our dog has a LOT of energy. This show is full of great information regarding what to expect as we get into this more. Agility is a bit overwhelming for the dog and owner, but this show gives some awesome insight. Looking forward to more episodes.

    Perfect show if you have a dog competing in agility, but also very interesting for all dog owners in general who just have an interest in dogs and also looking to understand them a little better. Fantastic show! Great job!
