Dogs are great. They're also weird, quirky, gross, challenging, loving and fun. I'm Eris Mayeroff, the owner and Chief Canine Officer of Big Wags Chicago. Hound Opinions is a podcast about all things dog - from behavior to training to the trials and tribulations of dog guardianship ... and everything in between!
New episodes come out every other Thursday. Check them out here or wherever you get your podcasts!

Hi y'all! So ... you've probably figured it out by now, but the "hiatus" that the podcast has been on is becoming permanent. I explain why in this final update for y'all.Thanks for being listeners over the years. Seriously, I appreciate it so much. It's been fun.
