Now, we can't get them to leave it alone, no matter how much we scrub and clean and spray the odor still seems to linger, and nothing we do seems to make it stop...until now. When their beloved elderly dog began to scent mark, Glenn… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/9ayf4fipzf65vgwa/Doggie_No_Pee_Audio_1_b7auq.mp3) ## [YFD 284: "Golden Boy" with A.J. Symon](https://yourfamilydogpodcast.podbean.com/e/yfd-284-golden-boy-with-aj-symon/) _2026-08-18 · Your Family Dog Podcast_ Most of us have probably wondered what it would be like if our dog was a person. Now, a new novel by writer A.J. Symon explores that very idea. Written to honor the unconditional love and joy his golden retriever brought to his life, A.J.’s inspiration came from a game of fetch where he thought, “If that dog were human, he’d be an amazing running back”. That spark became Golden Boy, a funny and… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/juhajkymj4uydxi9/Golden_Boy_Audioa4l34.mp3) ## [YFD 283: Neurodivergent Families with Lisa Richer](https://yourfamilydogpodcast.podbean.com/e/183-neurodivergent-families-with-lisa-richer/) _2026-08-11 · Your Family Dog Podcast_ The topic of "special needs" is one that's come up plenty of times before on Your Family Dog. Whether it's the kid, the dog, or both who function a little differently, navigating and supporting those needs can be draining and time-consuming for families, who often need all the help they can get to make everything work. But what happens when trying to find and coordinate all that help becomes its… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/4n7acew9vuzg2xbs/Lisa_Richer_Audio70ehr.mp3) ## [169.

In this conversation, Eileen shares how a difficult dog pulled her out of a doctoral program and into behavior science, why most sound-dampening products can’t deliver what they promise,… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/qjutk2vbyapu7isr/169-Anderson-Eileen.mp3) ## [YFD 282: Pawtism with Donny Wilson](https://yourfamilydogpodcast.podbean.com/e/yfd-282-pawtism-with-donny-wilson/) _2026-08-04 · Your Family Dog Podcast_ Many of us know firsthand the difference assistance dogs can make in people's lives. However, these furry assistants don't come cheap, and many people who might otherwise benefit from their presence find themselves struggling or unable to afford one. Donny Wilson, our guest today, is out to change that as best he can. Donny is the founder of Pawtism, an organization that provides financial aid to… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/azyvsn2i9h36ts7z/Pawtism_Audio_1_76e9p.mp3) ## [YFD 281: Chanel & Milo](https://yourfamilydogpodcast.podbean.com/e/yfd-281-chanel-milo/) _2026-07-28 · Your Family Dog Podcast_ Chanel knew Maplewood Park held fun surprises.

Anyone who has ever tried to trim a dog's toenails knows what a pain it can be- sometimes literally, when a stressed paw jerk or a mistimed clip results in a painful nail bleed. Almost as messy as said bleeds are the powders and bandages often used to clean them up, which are prone to spill and leave stains.

What we tend to overlook, however, is that animals are often involved in emergency situations as well- who cares for them? Enter Dr. Leigh Mack himself a firefighter and EMT as well as the founder of the First Responders' Veterinary… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ptf23fpiv2xjy7dn/FRVN_Audio71xo5.mp3) ## [166.

But a crisis with her own dog drew her into the world of dog training and animal behavior. From there, one thing led to another and suddenly she found that she was the “go to” person for illustrations of animal body language.
