Welcome to The Recall Room—the podcast where science meets story to help us better understand dog behavior, training, and what it really means to share our lives with dogs. Because understanding your dog goes far beyond teaching cues. This is where knowledge runs free and dogs thrive. Hosted by Lisa Darling, each episode explores the why behind canine behavior—from puppy development and the teenage years to adulthood, senior dogs, and everything that happens along the way. We’ll explore how dogs learn, communicate, experience the world, and navigate life alongside us, making the science of dog behavior approachable and relevant to everyday life. Together, we’ll dig into the research behind common dog training advice, challenge long-held myths and misconceptions, and uncover why dogs do what they do. Along the way, you’ll find practical training tips, conversations about behavior and enrichment, and evidence-based guidance that’s compassionate, realistic, and free of unnecessary judgment. Whether you’re raising a puppy, navigating adolescence, sharing life with an adult or senior dog, working through behavior challenges, or simply want to understand your dog better, there’s a place for you in The Recall Room. And because this podcast is meant to be a conversation, your voice belongs in the Room, too. Submit your questions, share what you’re curious about, and help shape the conversations we explore in future episodes. Join us as we ask better questions, follow the evidence, and discover what our dogs have been trying to tell us all along.
