22. A Doggone Good Time with Brad Bevill of Bevill Dog Behavior Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

In this week's episode, Merritt sits down with the founder and owner of Dallas-based Bevill Dog Behavior, Brad Bevill. We chat about how he got into the business of dog behavior (aka dog psychology) and turned his gift into a thriving enterprise! We discuss all the dos and don'ts of dog ownership including whether to crate train or not, some tips about collars and leashes to use, how to reduce unwanted behaviors in your dog, and more. In addition to general advice, Brad answers a bunch of specific listener-submitted questions! All in all, it's a wonderfully informative episode for potential and current dog owners alike.

Merritt also shares some personal updates, like what she got up to over the weekend, the pest she's dealing with in her backyard at the moment (spoiler alert, it's not the feral cats!), when her Spring Capsule Wardrobe is coming out on the blog, and what TV shows she's been watching lately (Archive81, Afterlife and The Gilded Age).
