All the topics are so interesting and I like that the episodes aren’t dragged too long. I learn a lot from the content! as a foreign listener the only thing that makes it hard to listen to more than one episode in a row is that she says “right” a looot. I can’t not hear it anymore, which is...Read full review »

Dear Rachel, I found your podcast just yesterday and I’ve been binge listening to it. Finally a dog podcast also meant for us humans. Your episodes make me feel less embarrassed and “guilty” for the training mistakes I’ve made in the past for example the episode about yelling at our dogs. I...Read full review »

I’ve just recently started listening but this is quickly becoming my favorite dog training podcast. I like that Rachel’s advice is practical for being out in the real world. I also appreciate how candid she is about her own dogs.

I am a positive reinforcement trainer (who has had the pleasure of getting to know Rachel as I also live nearby in Colorado), and her podcast is top notch. It’s full of practical advice for owners without talking down to you. Rachel is an amazing trainer and person and I highly recommend this...Read full review »

THANK YOU for this podcast!!! You have taught me (and enabled me) to be the kind, compassionate, and intentional dog parent that I’ve always wanted to be. Thanks for making this information accessible and, yes, I do smooch my puppy for you :)

Seriously this podcast is priceless for anyone living with dogs! Current, up to date behavior knowledge and education.
ShaydaRi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/23
We love Rachel. This podcast has helped me to understand dog behavior and to remind me that I am not alone in living and caring for a reactive dog. We also did her reactive redefine course, which was a good experience. I miss the weekly group calls, but this podcast is a great way to keep learning.

I found Rachel on Instagram and started listening to her podcast a few months ago. I have a reactive dog and am always looking for books and podcasts on dog behavior, specifically reactivity and this one is one of the best by far. I enjoy the ones with just her or another trainer/professional....Read full review »

As someone who volunteers working with shelter dogs who have behavioral challenges, I find this podcast to be helpful & uplifting. In fact, I recommend this podcast all of the time when people on Facebook are looking for some guidance. I love the positivity & the stories that offer a...Read full review »
Erica 2001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/22
I usually get so excited to listen to this podcast, but lately it’s been so obviously just marketing for her Reactive Redefined courses. I understand the podcast is a great way to do that, but it honestly takes away from how excited I was about the topic in the title. It’s wonderful that people...Read full review »

I have a 7mo corgi puppy who I have been massively struggling with and listening to this podcast has been incredibly helpful in seeing my puppy as one with struggles rather than a “bad dog”. He didn’t have some hard start to life so I’ve been feeling like a massive failure having a puppy with vet...Read full review »

Binging on this podcast had helped shift my mindset with my dogs from think they’re being naught to spite me, to understanding they are just trying to get to reinforcement. Not only has my relationship with my dogs drastically improved, but we understand each other better and they are better...Read full review »

Disorderly dogs podcast is without a doubt my favourite podcast - Rachel picks really interesting and useful topics to discuss, she always has great insights and pragmatic tips.

Pippa W-S via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/23/22
I discovered this podcast in the summer of 2020 and I always feel better after listening to it. I then found Rachel on IG and later took her Reactive Redefined class. She is always so positive, unlike some trainers out there, and is good with people as well as dogs. She takes time to explain the...Read full review »
Mitzi_and_friends via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/22
I first discovered Rachel through her Instagram and then proceeded to binge the vast majority of her podcasts episodes. While dogs and their well-being are clearly at the heart of her work, she also does a fantastic job of centering the average dog guardian and validating our shared experiences...Read full review »

If you have a reactive dog this podcast is an amazing resource! All dog guardians would benefit from listening, Laurie brings amazing tips and stories to her podcast to make us disorderly dog guardians not feel alone in our triumphs and failures! Highly recommended podcast !!

Rachel keeps it real and shares great info for how to responsibly enjoy life with your dogs and keep everyone safe, especially when the dogs are being challenging. I wish I had listened before I got my dog to make some other decisions along the way, the Halloween episode especially hit home for...Read full review »

We were at first made aware of Rachel and her program as a last resort to manage our very dog aggressive and anxiety ridden Aussie. After attacking our other dog and hurting her, we thought it would be the end for him. THIS podcast is such a weekly boost of encouragement, education and fun. I...Read full review »

I have a 1 year old pittie mix and the advice and perspective shared in this podcast (and Rachel's Instagram!) have been so insightful and reassuring in this training process. A few months ago my dog physically would not go into the vet office, today armed with peanut butter and chicken, we...Read full review »

Listening to Rachel’s real human take on tough dog issues is encouraging. She’s personable and makes what is usually a pretty daunting thing with troubled dogs, feel doable. And I think more dog owners need to hear this type of discussion.
Lady blackout via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/21
I love this podcast! Rachel gives such great positive reinforcement training advice and is so much fun! Her stories of the struggles she has faced with her dogs definitely make me feel seen.

I love listening to Disorderly Dogs. It gives me insight and tips on my two dogs. Not only has Rachel shared helpful tips, I have found other resources as well. My dogs are small dogs and still find the pitbull story podcasts insightful and helpful. Some of my favorite podcasts have been...Read full review »

While listening to podcasts will never be a substitute for hiring a certified professional dog trainer, I learned so many helpful dog tips and tricks in every single episode! I also love that in addition to her training advice episodes she also interviews other trainers, dog guardians, those that...Read full review »

From this podcast I learned how to stop my dogs from going ballistic when they see another dog. I learned that by saying “good”, and rewarding right then, it prevents them from escalating! It really does work! A lot of it is geared toward bully-dog types, buttons dogs have seemingly similar...Read full review »

The more I listen to your podcast the more I fall in love with it!! As a relatively new bully breed mom it is so uplifting to hear every instalment of pitbull stories and figure out how my dog and I can best advocate for the breed. Such relatable and useful content
livmergl via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/13/20
I recently adopted a sweet pup with some reactivity and hyper-arousal and was desperately looking for some support. As a new dog parent it can be so overwhelming to sort through all the information out there! Rachel (and her awesome guests) cover all the topics I’d want in such a helpful,...Read full review »

Rachel always has fantastic and useful advice, interesting guests and topics, and has created such a great community for people and their reactive dogs.
Mg9412 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/20
I love this podcast SO much and I know you will too, if you give it a listen. Rachel is an amazing trainer and is so knowledgeable in the information she shares. She also shines a beautiful light on the misunderstood pitbulls and it’s so needed!!
Erica&Bear via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/20
Rachael does an amazing job discussing REAL LIFE situations people experience with their dogs on a daily basis. She’s so down to earth and makes everything so easy to follow. Look forward to listening to each new episode!
Wolfe C via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/20
Well, you can still teach some old dogs (us) new tricks! Must get a whistle and high rewards... see if we can have some control over Haida’s wish to exterminate rodents (she’s not interested in eating them, just killing them...that’s what upsets me). Thanks for this inspiring, enjoyable podcast!
karenski via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/11/20
I enjoy listening to this podcast and all of the great content Rachel covers. I feel like I always learn something new. I love how real she is in this podcast and how she talks about different approaches!
Miller6824 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/19
I found this podcast when Melissa Dallier was interviewed on puppies and fell in love immediately. Each episode is informational and entertaining, so much so that I have listened to most of them more than once. Such a great resource and I am always excited when a new episode drops!
Caitlin Strickling via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/19
Adopting a Belgium malinois was a challenge to say the least. Hiring Rachel as a trainer was a game changer. Her podcasts give me a bit of extra advice when I’m not working with her directly. Brilliance and patience don’t even begin to describe her skill set. I highly recommend this podcast.
jgpuma1966 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/19
Nice blend of training tips and dog talk- I am always on the hunt for positive reinforcement podcasts and this one is a keeper! I hit the subscribe button about 5 minutes in!
trishiriye via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/19
Rachel’s podcasts are always jam packed with wonderful information on a variety of topics that are so useful to dog owners. She really knows what she is taking about and makes it easy for the average dog owner to understand as well. Love listening!
Melissa Dallier via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/19
Highly recommend this podcasts for dog owners and trainers! Rachel’s enthusiasm for training is contagious while listening to her. She picks relevant, interesting subjects that most dog owners can relate to and connect with and apply to their own life!

OMG! I cried with this episode... You’re so right and you have such a beautiful energy 💕 I’m so glad I listened to you today.
tatiana.mvz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/19
I unfortunately just started listening to your podcast. I have loved every episode so far and my only complaint is that I started listening too late and missed some of your earlier episodes. Keep up the great work!

So many great topics! Thanks for understanding the benefit of, and promoting, chiropractic care for dogs. I love listening while driving to & from clients’ homes!!

I’m not usually a fan of the talk radio style of podcast but the unstructured easy going talk that Rachel has is fun to listen and very helpful! Most of the time I’ve spent with trainers is so structured and time sensitive you don’t get to have an open, candid conversation. This podcast is like...Read full review »

Rachel is awesome, I love every single episode and how she breaks things down for the normal dog owner that may not be as training/dog savvy. I always recommend her podcasts to my clients, whom all say how great and informative all the episodes are!
