  • 175. The Dirty Truth About Dog Teeth with Anastasia Waugh
    May 30 2025

    Think dog breath is just part of the deal? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of Founded Fetch It, Jo sits down with canine dental expert Anastasia Waugh—aka the Dog Tooth Fairy—to talk all things teeth. From silent pain to stinky breath, and the often-overlooked dangers hiding in your dog’s mouth, Anastasia shares the truth about dental health, what’s fixable at home, and when it's time to call in the pros. We talk ultrasonic toothbrushes, teething tips for puppies, natural chews, and the one transformation story that’ll make you rethink skipping tooth care.

    Whether your dog’s a raw-fed retriever or a kibble-crunching companion, this is your reminder: their teeth matter more than we realise.

    💡 Expert Tip:

    “Don’t rehearse behaviour in the field that you wouldn’t want in the real world. Your dog doesn’t know the difference between ‘just this once’ and ‘this is how we do things now.’”

  • 173. Why Distractions Dont Work When Dog Is Chasing
    May 2 2025

    Picture this: your dog spots a rabbit, and in a heartbeat, they’re gone—ears off, instincts on. You’re left shouting, waving treats, praying they’ll turn back… but they don’t. Sound familiar?

    In this heartfelt and practical episode, Jo sits down with LWDG experts Claire Denyer, Gemma Martin, and Samantha Thorneycroft-Taylor to explore why distractions just don’t cut it when your dog’s brain is wired for the chase—and what actually does work instead.


    We dive into:

    🐾 Why chasing is hardwired in many breeds

    🐾 The moment a distraction fails—and why

    🐾 The five foundational skills every handler needs

    🐾 How to rebuild trust and confidence after setbacks


    This is for every handler who’s ever felt helpless, frustrated, or worried about letting their dog off lead again. You’re not alone—and there is a path forward.
