Why This Tour Matters
Discover the Best Pet Supplies at The Dog Who Asked for More
So many dog parents feel isolated, confused, or ashamed when they’re struggling with their dog—especially when reactivity, anxiety, big feelings, or behavior challenges enter the picture. Most don’t have access to the support they need. Many don’t know where to turn. And almost everyone feels alone in the process.
This RV tour exists to change that.
By taking The Dog Who Asked for More on the road, I can bring real conversations, real education, and real connection directly to the communities who need it most.
No algorithms. No barriers. No pretending everything is perfect.
Just honest, human-centered support for the people doing their best with the dogs they love.
This tour makes it possible to:
Meet dog parents where they are—in their towns, their shelters, their parks, their RV parks, their dog-friendly businesses, and their real lives.
Connect with rescues and shelters doing the hard work on the ground, and amplify their stories on a national platform.
Feature dog-friendly destinations and local businesses that support dogs with big feelings and the humans working hard to understand them.
Record in-person podcast episodes that bring depth, emotion, and connection that remote conversations can’t always capture.
Show what real-life training, nutrition, and enrichment look like outside of perfectly curated online spaces.
Build community for people who feel alone in their journey with their dog.
This isn’t about travel for the sake of travel.
It’s about building a bridge—between the podcast and the people who need it, between dogs and their guardians, between education and accessibility.
It’s about making sure no dog parent feels like they’re navigating the hardest parts of this journey by themselves.
Every mile we drive brings more real-life solutions, expert conversations, and emotional support to overwhelmed dog parents who feel alone in their journey.
And with your support, this vision becomes possible.

Real Talk for Real Dog People
The Dog Who Asked for More isn’t just a dog podcast—it's a space where pet parents, professionals, and passionate dog lovers come together for honest conversations about what really matters.
We talk openly about dog behavior, training, reactivity, nutrition, dog food, enrichment, gut health, grief, and the emotional experience of raising a big-feeling dog—without guilt or 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.
