Another installment in our safety series, “Hey, Let’s Be Careful Out There,” our ongoing safety series — and this one stays close to home, literally. We’re covering the household and environmental hazards that put dogs at risk: plants, chemicals, and food items that are toxic, some of which genuinely surprised us when we started looking into this episode. We walk through what to watch for in your house and yard, the everyday foods that are riskier than most owners realize, and what to actually do if your dog gets into something dangerous. An ounce of prevention goes a long way — and this episode gives you exactly that. 
Topics: toxic plants for dogs, foods toxic to dogs, household chemical hazards, dog poisoning prevention, pet-safe home, dog safety at home.

Hosted by the trainers of Woof Academy, Dog Days helps dog owners decode baffling behaviors so they can understand what their dog is really trying to say. Each episode unpacks real-life stories from the field to reveal the mindset behind common challenges like reactivity, disobedience, or sudden aggression — and offers insight into the relationship dynamics that drive them. You won’t find one-size-fits-all training tips here. Instead, you’ll hear from compassionate, often humorous experts who help you build clarity, confidence, and connection with your dog by shifting how you show up. Whether your pup pulls the sheets off the bed or pins other dogs at the park, you’re in good company — and you’re not alone.
