This week on *A Dog’s Devotion*, we’re joined by one of the most respected and sought-after dog trainers in the country, Tom Davis, founder of No Bad Dogs.
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Tom breaks down the truth about dog behavior and what it really takes to build a strong, healthy relationship with your dog. From practical, easy-to-follow training tips to deeper insights into why dogs act the way they do, this conversation is packed with value for every dog owner—whether you’re raising a new puppy, working through challenges, or simply wanting a better connection with your dog.
Tom shares his philosophy that there are no “bad dogs,” only misunderstood ones, and explains how consistency, leadership, and communication can completely transform a dog’s behavior—and your life. We also dive into the realities of rescue dogs, common mistakes owners make, and how small changes can lead to big breakthroughs.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or even a little lost when it comes to training your dog, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and hope.
This is more than training—it’s about understanding, trust, and the incredible bond we share with our dogs.
Thank you for listening—you make this show possible.

What is A Dog's Devotion?
*A Dog’s Devotion* is a podcast dedicated to those who love and care for senior dogs — the companions who give us their whole lives, even though their time with us is far too short.
As our dogs age, the journey changes. It becomes more complex, more emotional, and at times, incredibly difficult. This podcast is here to walk that path with you. We talk about everything that matters in your dog’s later years — from proper nutrition and asking the right questions at the vet, to recognizing quality of life, making the heartbreaking decision of euthanasia, and navigating the grief that follows the loss of a beloved companion.
Born from my own experience with my rescue dog Max, *A Dog’s Devotion* is a place for honest conversations, expert insight, and shared understanding. Because loving a senior dog is one of the greatest gifts — and one of the hardest goodbyes.
If you have questions, fears, or simply want to feel less alone on this journey, this podcast is for you.
