About this listen

Welcome to The Spicy Small Dog Podcast - for owners of small dogs with big personalities (and sometimes big behaviour problems). Hosted by Amy from The Social Dog Trainer and her PA Anya, this podcast dives into reactivity, barking, lunging, confidence, and the real life of owning a “spicy” small dog. No fluff. No judgement. Just honest conversations and practical advice.

    Episode 1: The Mistakes That Made Me a Dog Trainer
    Mar 31 2026

    In episode one, Amy and Anya introduce the podcast in a raw, unfiltered way and dive into Amy’s journey into dog training through the stories of her six-dog pack.


    From early training mistakes with Marley to working through behavioural cases like Charlie, Rolo, and Noodle, this episode explores the reality of owning and rehabilitating “difficult” dogs. Along the way, Amy shares how her experiences shaped her training philosophy - bridging the gap between overly strict obedience and purely positive approaches - and why small dogs deserve to be taken just as seriously as big ones.
