Bark Back #12: The White Dog Poo Mystery

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 a short, sharp, energising Bark Back for your walk.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 00:00 Welcome to Bark Back from Spotify Studios00:40 Hygiene cuts and listener reactions01:20 Oversharing dog stories in Leicester Square02:51 Should Jane and Grace guest on the podcast?03:46 Moving house with dogs - listener advice04:17 How Dolly will cope with moving05:10 Losing your dog (and finding them again)06:36 Bedtime routines and crate independence07:30 Westie-Woo laughing in public with AirPods in08:15 Going back through the Oh My Dog 160 ep back catalogue09:28 Equal billing, billboards and producer recognition10:24 Wrapping up this week’s Bark Back11:23 How to get in touch with the show#OhMyDog #BarkBack #DogPodcast #ComedyPodcast #SpotifyStudios #DogOwners #JackDee #SeannWalsh

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 00:00 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 00:00 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

No guest, no phone (briefly) and plenty of detours.

Comedian Sara Barron joins us to talk about her brand new Bedlington Whippet puppy, Wednesday. It's a brilliantly honest account of how intense, disorientating and surprisingly hard getting a dog can be. From puppy blues and training chaos to feeling weird about saying “I love you”, this is a very funny, very real take on new puppydom.Plus: crate chat, royal dog messages, Jack's critique of Seann's new haircut, and never ask Seann for help.See Sara live: https://www.chortle.co.uk/comics/s/34444/sara_barronSee Seann live: https://www.seannwalsh.com/Don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: http://tiny.cc/pjwu001We want to hear from you: [email protected] us on IG: @omdpod @juniperomdPlease keep signing and sharing - SIGN THE CAMP BEAGLE PETITION: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73657800:00 00:00 Intro00:23 Immediate technical chaos00:43 Seann’s soft play nightmare and why you should never ask him for help02:50 Dolly senses danger on a walk - Jack explains what happened next05:14 Seann’s childhood dog and how it found his family home06:30 Mildred’s dog walking friendship group08:20 Jack reacts to Seann’s new haircut09:58 Juniper, the crate, and rules out the window11:40 Sara spots Pete Wicks at Alan Carr’s - and he’s coming back12:30 Mildred vs Wylda: bedtime tensions15:12 Jack receives a message from The King about corgis18:40 Seann’s Royal Variety moment with The King21:00 Introducing Sara Barron21:53 Sara joins the show23:13 Sara’s new puppy and feeling completely discombobulated26:10 The puppy: a Bedlington Whippet27:40 Geoff is the animal person in the house29:28 The research that went into choosing the breed30:32 Who’s actually looking after the puppy day-to-day33:58 Loving the puppy… but feeling strange saying “I love you”35:15 The puppy’s name: Wednesday (thanks to son's goth phase)36:17 Training struggles and current sleep arrangements39:42 Should Geoff come on the pod?40:17 Their trainer, Britain’s Got Talent, and dog trainer opinions43:00 Whale eye demonstrations43:47 How Sara and Sara know each other from New York45:56 Sara meets Mildred46:20 New York dog owners vs London dog owners47:47 Listening to Geoff on the radio48:45 Does Sara let Wednesday kiss her on the mouth?50:06 Puppy blues are real51:58 Saying goodbye and signing off#OhMyDogPodcast #PuppyBlues #NewPuppy #LifeWithDogs #SaraBarron #DogPodcast #ComedyPodcast #PuppyReality #JackDee #SeannWalsh
