The Doodle Pro®: Positive Dog Training for Calm Doodles
Is life with your Doodle more chaotic than calm? This podcast helps overwhelmed Doodle parents raise calm, happy, well-adjusted dogs using science-based positive reinforcement.
The Doodle Pro® Podcast is an award-recognized podcast for Doodle parents who want calm, connection, and confidence using positive, science-backed dog training.
Hosted by certified dog trainer and Doodle behavior expert Corinne Gearhart, the show delivers practical, force-free training strategies designed specifically for Doodles—helping families navigate common challenges like barking, leash pulling, jumping, overstimulation, reactivity, and settling at home.
Each episode blends real-life training guidance with a deeper understanding of canine behavior, emotional regulation, and daily structure so Doodle parents can raise well-mannered, emotionally healthy dogs without fear, force, or outdated methods.
Inside the podcast, you’ll learn how to:
- Build calm and focus through predictable, flexible daily routines
- Use positive, pain-free solutions for leash skills, greetings, and distractions
- Support Doodles through anxiety, separation-related behaviors, and over-arousal
- Strengthen trust and the human–dog bond through thoughtful training
- Apply expert insights on grooming, health, enrichment, and social development
The Doodle Pro® Podcast also features conversations with respected trainers, behaviorists, veterinarians, and pet professionals—bringing listeners modern, evidence-informed perspectives grounded in behavioral science.
Whether you’re raising a puppy, navigating adolescence, or supporting an adult or senior Doodle, this podcast offers a compassionate, practical roadmap for life with a Doodle.
