The Dog Who Asked for More is a podcast and free educational resource for dog parents learning to live differently because of their dog.

This space was built for the people who love their dogs deeply but still feel overwhelmed, confused, burned out, or alone sometimes. The people whose dogs don’t fit simple advice. The people trying so hard to do things “right” while quietly wondering why nothing feels simple anymore.

Created by Em — dog trainer, Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist, retired veterinary technician, and reactive dog mom — this podcast exists to bring honest, judgment-free conversations about dog behavior, reactivity, nutrition, enrichment, grief, burnout, and the emotional reality of life with dogs who ask for more.

But it’s also a space for the joy side of this life too. The quiet mornings. The backyard games. The routines that stop feeling small once you realize they’ve become your favorite part of the day. The version of yourself your dog somehow knew was there all along.

Listening is always free. This page is where you can find every platform the show is available on, ways to support the mission at no cost, and information about the RV tour fundraiser helping bring these conversations beyond a screen and into real-life communities across the country.

Free Ways to Support

These small actions genuinely help this work reach more dog parents who need honest, judgment-free support.

The Wall of Thanks

Celebrate Your Dog's Story on The Wall of Thanks

The Wall of Thanks is a permanent tribute honoring the dogs who shaped us — the ones who challenged us, changed us, stayed beside us, and asked more from us than we ever expected to give.

By reserving a spot, your dog will be featured on a permanent page of this website for as long as The Dog Who Asked for More exists.

This isn’t just a name on a list. It’s a legacy placement. A public thank you. A way to say: this dog mattered. This life mattered. This story mattered.

Some dogs change the entire direction of a person’s life. This wall exists to honor that honestly.

Every contribution directly supports the RV tour, free educational resources, and honest conversations about behavior, food, grief, burnout, and the emotional reality of life with dogs.

We’re actively building a mobile podcast studio — an RV-based space for real, unfiltered conversations about dog behavior, reactivity, nutrition, grief, burnout, and the emotional reality of life with dogs who ask for more.

The goal isn’t just to travel. It’s to bring these conversations into real-life communities through meetups, rescues, events, collaborations, and accessible education for dog parents who often feel like they’re navigating this alone.

This fundraiser helps support the RV, travel expenses, recording equipment, internet access, food, safe decompression spaces for the dogs, and the real behind-the-scenes costs of keeping this mission sustainable on the road.

Where Your Support Goes

This mission is growing — intentionally.

The next phase is the RV mobile podcast studio: a traveling space for real conversations with dog parents, rescues, trainers, pet professionals, and communities across the country.

This isn’t symbolic. It’s infrastructure.

Your support directly helps fund:

• The RV studio buildout and recording equipment
• Travel to rescues, events, and communities needing accessible education and support
• Production and publishing of free podcast episodes
• Professional editing, hosting, internet access, and platform distribution
• Development of practical, real-world educational resources
• The day-to-day costs of sustaining this mission on the road

This work remains free because it’s supported — not because it’s inexpensive.

The RV tour is about making these conversations accessible beyond a screen. More connection. More community. More real-life support for dog parents who often feel like they’re figuring this out alone.

If this show has helped you feel clearer, steadier, more understood, or simply less alone with your dog, supporting the mission helps bring that same feeling to someone else too.

Thank you for being here.

Every listen, every share, every message, every conversation, and every bit of support helps this mission reach dog parents who need real understanding, real community, and real-life support.

However you found this space — listening, sharing, learning, resting, laughing, grieving, rebuilding, or simply trying to figure things out one day at a time — thank you.

This space exists because people care, not because they give.

You don’t owe this mission anything. You’re already part of it.

The Dog Who Asked for More is a podcast and educational space for dog parents learning to live differently because of their dog.

Through honest conversations and grounded guidance from a canine nutritionist, dog trainer, and retired vet tech, the show explores dog behavior, reactivity, body language, enrichment, gut health, and canine nutrition — especially when life with dogs feels more complicated than expected.

This space exists to help dogs — and the people who love them — feel more understood, more supported, and less alone.
