Plus, Sara brings in the unbelievable viral story about seven dogs escaping the illegal meat trade in China - a plot straight of a Pixar film.Also featuring: one very proud lightbulb purchase.Join more than 180,000 people in signing the petition to shut down MBR Acres: https://act.animalrising.org/shut_down_mbr_acresSee Seann live: seannwalsh.comSimon Parry-Moreno, our dog expert: dbtherapy.co.ukEmail us: [email protected]'t forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001Follow us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomd @dognitive.behaviour @thecampbeagle @animal.risingGo to our website for more: omdpod.com00:00 Intro and Jack is late00:30 Seann's BACK (and milking it) 02:30 The sinus infection that nearly ended it all 05:00 Ambulance drama & heat rash chaos 09:30 The lightbulb saga (10 years in the making) 12:00 Life updates with the dogs 16:30 Mildred’s great garden escape 20:00 The viral story: 7 dogs escape and find their way home 23:30 Simon our dog expert joins with a Strudel update25:00 Why dog training never really stops 28:00 Mildred’s barking problem - what’s actually going on 31:00 How to fix barking (properly) 33:00 How long should you leave a dog alone? 35:00 Listener Beccy's story: when dogs fight (serious) 39:00 What to do in a real dog fight 42:00 Why some dogs just shouldn’t live together 45:00 Rescue dogs: reality vs expectation 46:00 Final thoughts & wrap up #OhMyDogPodcast #DogPodcast #DogAdvice #DogTraining #DogBehaviour #PetPodcast #DogLovers #PodcastClips #SeannWalsh #JackDee #DogExpert #RescueDogs #DogStories #ViralStory #PetLife

Jack Dee and Sara dive into your emails, voice notes and messages in this week’s Bark Back, sharing where you listen - from pottery studios to dog grooming salons, celebrating 11-year-old Poppy’s incredible children's marathon for the PDSA, and unpacking the now-proven tomato ketchup trick for dogs who’ve rolled in something truly awful. There’s also more love for Chris Packham, a brilliant bit of dog science about Basset hound ears, and plenty of listener stories as they keep things ticking along while Seann recovers.Sponsor Poppy: https://www.justgiving.com/page/linda-childs-3?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_campaign=021Join more than 180,000 people in signing the petition to shut down MBR Acres: https://act.animalrising.org/shut_down_mbr_acresSee Seann live: seannwalsh.comEmail us: [email protected]'t forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001Follow us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomd @billysbus @thecampbeagle @animal.risingGo to our website for more: omdpod.com00:00 Welcome to Bark Back 00:29 Seann’s off – Jack & Sara crack on 00:55 Where you listen: pottery studio 02:07 Dog groomers & dog walkers tuning in 02:52 “Aloha” explained 03:30 Billboard suggestion (Seann on a lead!) 04:12 Poppy’s marathon for PDSA 06:12 Chris Packham episode feedback 07:53 The ketchup trick confirmed 10:04 More ketchup evidence (it really works) 10:38 Freezing dog poo - Jack’s tip 11:20 Winter accidents & Vax lifesaver 12:19 Skunks, tomatoes & extreme solutions 12:55 Basset hound ears explained 14:11 Dachshund Museum in Germany 14:53 Travelling abroad with dogs 15:52 Signing off #OhMyDogPodcast #BarkBack #JackDee #SeannWalsh #DogPodcast #DogLoversUK #DogCommunity #PetParents #DogLife #PodcastUK #ComedyPodcast #DogTips #PetCare #PDSA #ChrisPackham #DogFacts #DachshundLove #BassetHound #DogStories

Jack and Sara (no Seann, he's ill) are joined by Laura Mohan, the founder of Billy’s Bus - the UK’s first dog bus, inspired by her Cavapoo Billy. What began as a search for better care for her own dog has grown into a fully customised bus giving dogs social adventures, with carefully matched packs, and huge focus on wellbeing. Laura explains how it works, as well as the unexpected impact it’s having on the wider community through volunteering and connection. There’s also a message from Mildred Barrett in Seann's absence, an update on Juniper and Dolly, and all the usual dog chat as they hold the fort while Seann recovers.Join more than 180,000 people in signing the petition to shut down MBR Acres: https://act.animalrising.org/shut_down_mbr_acresSee Seann LIVE: Seannwalsh.comBillysbus.co.ukEmail us: [email protected]'t forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001Follow us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomd @animal.rising @billysbusGo to our website for more: omdpod.com00:00 No Seann!

Singer-Songwriter Calum Scott joins us to introduce his English bulldog Elvis - but not before the podcast descends into technical chaos.After the recording failing the first time, Calum kindly came back to redo the chat (with a few new stories along the way). We talk about Elvis’ five-generation pedigree, why bulldogs make such brilliant first dogs, and the slightly embarrassing phase Elvis is currently going through…Plus: Jack commits a classic faux paw, Seann records from an iPad after his equipment goes walkies, and we discover Elvis has his own bedroom and sounds like an old Yorkshireman.See Calum live: https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/calum-scott-tickets/artist/2209963Calum's new single with Aitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXJyb6WZeysSee Seann live: https://www.seannwalsh.com/Don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001Follow us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomdPlease keep signing and sharing - SIGN THE CAMP BEAGLE PETITION: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73657800:00 Intro00:20 Seann has lost his laptop… and the microphone02:25 Jack’s classic faux paw with Jane and Dolly03:30 Dog-friendly hotels and travelling with dogs05:20 Mildred’s ear drops breakthrough07:10 Do dogs know when we’re helping them?08:00 Dogs remembering holiday hotels09:10 Jack’s very loud chemist 10:50 Dolly, Juniper and Mildred spring update12:10 Dogs enjoying the first signs of spring15:05 Introducing Calum Scott15:30 Elvis the English bulldog, Calum’s first ever dog17:30 Finding Elvis online and bringing him home18:50 The reality of bulldog ownership21:20 Elvis the teenage dog… and the humping phase22:40 Elvis’ five-generation pedigree24:00 Technical disaster - we've lost Calum!24:40 Two days later… Calum returns to finish the interview26:00 Will Elvis be a dad?27:20 Proud dog dad - Elvis merch included29:10 Are dogs the “practice run” for kids?31:30 Elvis’ personality and bulldog temperament33:30 The love dogs give their owners35:10 Training Elvis without puppy school36:20 Elvis destroys Calum’s childhood teddy and Nellie's had a go a Jack's37:30 Where Elvis sleeps (and why he snores)39:20 The all-important question: dog kisses on the mouth?41:30 Calum on the emotional bond with Elvis42:20 Signing off#CalumScott #EnglishBulldog #DogPodcast #OhMyDogPodcast #BulldogLife #DogLovers #DogDad #PodcastComedy #PetPodcast #DogStories

This week’s Bark Back comes straight from the Spotify Studios, as Jack, Seann and Sara dive into your messages and stories. From the now-infamous “hygiene cut” discussion and whether dog owners overshare a little too freely, to moving house with dogs, lost pups, bedtime routines and equal billing on billboards.

It’s not every day your podcast ends up on a billboard in Leicester Square. To celebrate three years of Oh My Dog, Jack, Seann and Sara record a special anniversary episode - beginning on the street beneath Spotify’s billboard before heading into the studio to reflect on all the fun and chaos of the past three years, and talk Mildred's ears, Juniper's concern, Jack's doggy ventriloquist act, and a food graph that confuses everyone.See Seann live: https://www.seannwalsh.com/Don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001Follow us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomdPlease keep signing and sharing - SIGN THE CAMP BEAGLE PETITION: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73657800:00 Welcome to Oh My Dog's third anniversary00:09 Recording from Leicester Square (not live)00:37 Seeing the Oh My Dog billboard for the first time01:46 Three years to get a billboard02:04 Listening back to the first ever episode02:20 3 years of life changes kids, moves, dogs03:56 Heading to Spotify Studios05:44 Recording together in the Spotify studio06:37 Seann asks Jack what it’s like seeing your face on a billboard07:34 Would we bring our dogs to Leicester Square?08:53 Seann introduces the world's most confusing vet graph of dog treats in human terms13:00 How much cheese is 28g?17:59 Is this vet poster actually an advert?20:01 Giving dogs ear drops and do they understand?23:25 How the idea for Oh My Dog started25:30 Jack talking to Dolly in public, Seann doing the same with Mildred27:26 Dogs as social icebreakers29:00 Promised guests and chaotic early episodes31:01 Being ill and still looking after your dog32:35 A public apology to Michelle34:25 Thank you for listening to our billboard anniversary episode#OhMyDog #OhMyDogPodcast #PodcastAnniversary #PodcastBillboard #LeicesterSquare #SpotifyPodcast #DogPodcast #ComedyPodcast #JackDee #SeannWalsh

This week on Bark Back, Seann briefly forgets geography, floor lasagne returns, dogs guard baths like lifeguards, and the internet once again refuses to let Jack forget the sausage photos. There are runaway dogs who find their own way home, name pronunciation chaos, and by the end we’re calling each other entirely the wrong names on purpose.See Seann live: https://www.seannwalsh.com/Don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001Follow us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomdPlease keep signing and sharing - SIGN THE CAMP BEAGLE PETITION: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73657800:00 Bark Back opens in confusion: Seann thinks we’re in the same house00:40 Floor Lasagne returns, and chair lasagne enters the chat02:10 Whippets, towels and Kuji absolutely committing to the game03:40 Treat toys, boredom and where we’re going wrong with dog toys04:25 Dogs supervising baths like it’s a health & safety issue05:20 Spotify comments, sausages, side-eye… and the Cinnamon Trust causes Seann to bring out his Italian06:35 The internet still hasn’t moved on from Jack’s sausage photo07:15 Lovely feedback on The Rescue Hotel, and we’re still not talking about cats08:30 Floods, kayaks and Jack’s very specific irritation09:55 The dog who ran away… and calmly beat everyone home10:55 Sara’s story of her parents’ crash, their lost dog Jack, and an unbelievable journey back12:10 Rescue dogs, old dogs, and saying good morning even when they’ve gone13:20 Seann’s gigs, dark villages and the encore that never was15:45 Name pronunciation wars: Kath, Sarah, and revenge18:05 What if people got dogs’ names wrong?19:20 Signing of and everyone starts using the wrong names on purpose#BarkBack #OhMyDog #DogPodcast #DogPeople #FloorLasagne #DogStories #PodcastChaos #DogWalkListening #DogLife #PetPodcast
