    2025/05/30

    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.

    2025/05/02

    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

  • 168. Why 'Flawless' Gundogs Don't Exist
    2025/02/21

    Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt like your gundog has to be perfect. 🙋‍♀️


    Social media, comparison traps, and the pressure to have a textbook retriever can make you feel like you’re always falling short. But here’s the truth—there’s no such thing as a flawless gundog.

    In this episode of Found It, Fetched It, Jo Perrott sits down with LWDG experts Claire Denyer, Jemma Martin, and Samantha Thorneycroft-Taylor to break down why perfection is a myth—and why chasing it can actually hold you back. We’re talking about the messy, in-the-trenches moments of training, the power of progress over perfection, and how to build a confident, connected partnership with your dog (without losing your mind in the process).


    If you’ve ever thought, Why isn’t my dog like that one on Instagram?, this episode is for you. Grab a cuppa, hit play, and let’s chat.
