In this episode, Mike Deathe of KISS Dog Training pulls back the curtain on a common myth: that dog trainers’ dogs are somehow perfect. Spoiler alert—they’re not. And that’s totally normal.

Mike shares his thoughts on what it really means to live with and train dogs, even as a professional. You’ll hear why dog behavior—just like human behavior—isn’t something you flip a switch on. It takes time, consistency, and patience… even for the pros.

This is a real, honest look at life with dogs, and a reminder that perfection isn’t the goal—progress is. So take a breath, give your pup a scratch, and let’s keep it simple.

In this episode of the KISS Dog Training Podcast, Mike tackles the concept of “Dog Math”—that adding a dog to the equation of your life! Whether it’s juggling energy levels, managing unexpected behavior quirks, or dealing with the emotional reality of canine companionship, sometimes 1 + 1 = overwhelmed. The equation is different for every dog. Calculate what you need with the tips from this episode!

Mike breaks down why adding a second (or third!) dog to your home doesn’t always double the love—or the harmony. From assessing your current dog’s needs to being honest about your own capacity, we explore how to make smart, compassionate choices for both humans and pups.
