Straight Up Dog Talk isn’t just about training and podcasting—it’s about building a community of support. This page is where we share the rescues, charities, practitioners, and resources that inspire us, align with our mission, and give back to dogs and the humans who love them.
Organizations doing incredible work to save lives, create second chances, and support dogs in need.
Some products do more than make life easier—they directly support rescues and communities. That’s why we’re proud to share them with you!
Trusted voices in training, nutrition, health, and enrichment—people we’re proud to stand alongside.
Because support doesn’t stop at products and professionals. These are spaces created to connect, educate, and bring people together.
Every rescue, resource, and recommendation listed here is one we’d proudly share with our own friends, clients, and community.
