Rover has announced that credentialed dog trainers will now be added to the platform — and this marks an important step forward for the pet industry.

In a field where standards can vary widely, credentialing represents a commitment to education, ethics, and professional development. This move has the potential to increase transparency for pet parents while elevating expectations for trainers across the board.

This isn’t about exclusivity — it’s about raising the bar and improving outcomes for dogs and the people who love them.

If you care about ethical training, professional standards, and empowering pet parents, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Lantz Tucker’s mom, Crystal, and discuss how you can help Pawsitive Tails, a 501 (c) (3) foster and adoption organization, and how her son Lantz asked one question that changed everything for this rescue group. We talk about how her son Lantz, lost his life and was poisoned and murdered by one choice. Crystal talks about how ONE PILL changed everything and the need for four people to talk about it. This is not addiction. It is about getting this important life-saving information to everyone. Please check out the links below for the Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund to learn more and to help pets in dire need. At Pawsitive Tails, Crystal and all of her volunteers dedicate their lives and homes to care for these unwanted pets. This is a full-time job that requires expertise and dedication from a team working toward a common goal! Save as many unwanted pets' lives as possible, and find them loving homes forever. But that takes help from you and from me. This episode talks about how you can donate and what you can donate to Pawsitive Tails. Check out their Amazon WISHLIST too!

In this episode, I sit down with Lantz Tucker’s mom, Crystal, and discuss how you can help Pawsitive Tails, a 501c3 Foster and adoption organization that rescues pregnant moms, goes through the birthing process, in addition to all the veterinary care, massive amount of cleaning, and raising of the litters, socialize them to other pets, people, children, great trains, and begins if not, fully completes house training, no matter how small or large, and of course Pawsitive Tails, rescue daddy's too so they are not euthanized. These pregnant moms are going to be euthanized the minute they go into local shelters because of a lack of resources and volunteers. Pawsitive Tails, Crystal, and all of her volunteers dedicate their lives and homes to care for these unwanted pets. This is a full-time job that requires expertise and dedication from a team working toward a common goal! Save as many unwanted pets' lives as possible, and find them loving homes forever. But that takes help from you and from me. This episode talks about how you can donate and what you can donate to Pawsitive Tails.

Some stories are hard to tell… but important to share.

In this episode, I sit down with Lantz Tucker’s mom, Crystal, and discuss how to apply for help with your pet if you cannot afford a veterinarian bill for their care. Also, do you fall through the cracks? Not anymore! The Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund does not discriminate against people who make slightly too much to qualify for other grants at shelters or other organizations.

Crystal shares the story of the first pet that The Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund was able to help and the kismet of a rose tattoo ❤️

The Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund was created because of one simple but powerful question Lantz asked: “Why not?”Why can’t pet parents get help when they can’t afford veterinary care? Why should an animal suffer because someone doesn’t have enough money? Why should pet owners have to surrender their pets because they can't afford an expensive treatment? Please help and donate today to a worthy 501(c) (3) organization where 100% of the funds go to the care of people's pets.

Lantz may no longer be with us, but his compassion continues to change lives—both human and animal. ❤️

In this episode, I sit down with Lantz Tucker’s mom, Crystal, to talk about the life of her son and the love that continues to carry his legacy forward.

The Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund was created because of one simple but powerful question Lantz asked: “Why not?”
Why can’t pet parents get help when they can’t afford veterinary care? Why should an animal suffer because someone doesn’t have enough money? Why should pet owners have to surrender their pets because they can't afford an expensive treatment?

That question stayed with his mom—and today, because of that conversation she had with Lantz, this fund helps pet parents who just need a little help to save their animals.

Lantz may no longer be with us, but his compassion continues to change lives—both human and animal. ❤️

In today’s episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, we dive into what it truly takes to run a successful show and how meaningful it is to have a loyal audience that supports the information Jon shares week after week — whether they’re tuning in to listen or calling in with a question for one of Jon's expert guests.

Jon, a longtime friend and the incredible host of Talkin’ Pets, joins me for an engaging conversation about animal cruelty laws and the impact the current administration has had on environmental and endangered animal protections — many of which have been rolled back.

It’s an honest, behind-the-scenes discussion you won’t want to miss.

This is a bonus episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, and I am discussing a microchip company that suddenly went out of business without explanation, and what pet owners need to do to ensure their pet returns home when they get lost. Do you know if your pets' and microchip information is correct? Listen to the episode and check out the website, where you can enter your pet's microchip information and find out if you need to change anything or update any records. I hope you enjoy this bonus episode!
