Honest Conversations. Real Dogs. Judgment-Free Support.
Real Talk for Real Dog People
Straight Up Dog Talk isn’t just a podcast—it’s a space where pet parents, pros, and passionate dog lovers come together for honest conversations about what really matters. We dive into topics like behavior, training, nutrition, grief, enrichment, wellness, and everything in between—with zero judgment.
Hosted by Emily Breslin—a virtual dog trainer, retired vet tech, and multi-certified canine professional (CPCN, FDM, DN-CET)—each episode is built on trust, transparency, and heart.
You’ll hear from trainers, behaviorists, nutritionists, small business owners, and everyday pet guardians. These aren’t polished soundbites—they’re real stories and practical insights that help you feel seen, supported, and more connected to your dog.
Support That Actually Supports You
Straight Up Dog Talk was created as a trusted starting place for pet guardians—no matter what you’re facing. Every week, we share new podcast episodes packed with expert insight, relatable stories, and real-world strategies to help you and your dog thrive.
Whether you’re working through reactivity, exploring enrichment, or just trying to feel less alone, you’ll find judgment-free support and tools that truly make a difference.
You’ll hear from:
• Certified dog trainers and behavior consultants
• Canine nutrition and enrichment professionals
• Wellness advocates and pet grief supporters
• Small business owners and industry leaders doing meaningful work in the dog world
