The Final Iteration of FPB Talks!
2026/07/29
We are remodeling this show, don't be alarmed, we will still be podcasting using this feed but the name will change! What will the show be called? We do not know. What's the schedule? No clue yet. What will the show be about? It will primarily be the Lori and Leah show offering tips to dog owners and making you laugh. I (Leah) won't be doing remote interviews anymore, so if you'd like to participate in the project you'll have to come on down and we can chat. Why the change? Lori and I are working together at A Better Companion Dog Training LLC. Super exciting, listen in for the details.
An abundance of thanks to all who have participated in the FPB Talks project. All the episodes will remain on this feed and I will (painstakingly) go through and rename the episodes with the moniker FPB Talks.
Additionally, fitpetboston.com will be no more! To contact me please email [email protected] for all training/nutrition/dog sport inquiries.
Our new website for A Better Companion Dog Training will be live soon! www.abcdogtrainingwoburn.com
Thanks again for listening.

If you have a dog trained on the electric fence, please listen to this one and share it with your friends.

Jackson Cullinan
2026/02/14
Dog trainer Jackson Cullinan owns The Educated Canine and trains and walks dogs in Massachusetts USA. Recently, Jackson took on a behavior case and filmed some of his training. After posting his training, the training video was widely criticised. We talked about how he handled the situation and what the end results were for the dog he was training.
We also discuss Jacksons 3 dogs and how he works with them daily. Our discussion touches on different dog sports and the abilities our dogs have to learn when in drive. Thank you Jackson for sitting with me and speaking so candidly.
