Podcast Overview

This is the conversation that starts with dogs and somehow ends up being about everything else. You Know What I Mean is hosted by Bethany and Kait - two dog trainers who accidentally built their lives, businesses, and friendships around the dogs they love. Each week, we talk about real-life dog stuff - not training drills, but the messy, funny, humbling, meaningful parts of it. The business side. The friendship side. The “can you imagine?!” moments. The parts that change you. It’s honest. It’s a little ridiculous sometimes. And it’s the kind of conversation you’d usually have over coffee.

Find Teddy a Home

This week we're talking about all the things that somehow end up connected: fake diamond rings, trainer guilt, beach vacations, aging dogs, fairy gardens, and why we both spend way too much time worrying about things that are probably fine.We chat about the emotional side of dog training, the moments that stick with you after a successful go-home, and why the trainers who care the most are usually the ones questioning themselves the most. We also share updates on Roadie and Charlie, discuss what it means to make difficult decisions for the animals we love, and put out a call to help find a home for an adorable little dog named Teddy.Plus: beach trip prep, lawn mowing in a bikini, million-dollar house shows, fairy garden dreams, and Bethany's surprising new obsession with a fake ring she can't stop wearing.As usual, it's part dog training, part life update, and part conversation that somehow ends up somewhere neither of us expected.

Can We Please Support the Owner?

This week we're talking about the gap between dog training theory and real life.Kait shares an update on Hank, an English Lab who's proving that even dogs from carefully researched breeders don't always fit the stereotype. Meanwhile, Bethany talks about working with multiple board-and-train dogs, introducing new dogs safely, and how experience changes the way trainers view behavior, socialization, and confidence.The conversation then shifts into a bigger discussion about e-collar stigma, owner support, and what happens when dog owners feel judged instead of helped. From frustrating vet visits to social media criticism, Bethany and Kait share why they're passionate about helping owners feel confident making decisions for the dog in front of them—not the dog someone on the internet thinks they should have.Along the way they discuss reactive dogs, boundaries, socialization myths, why dogs don't need to love every experience, and the growing divide between online dog training opinions and real-world results.Plus: sweet potatoes, Bee's Knees cocktails, and a confession involving wine and dog socialization that probably should have stayed off the podcast.

Old Dogs, Trader Joe's & Changing Your Mind

This week, Bethany and Kait catch up after a few technical difficulties and dive into one of those conversations that somehow covers health scares, old dogs, social media, tornado warnings, comfort TV shows, and childhood bus rides.Kait shares a positive update after her ultrasound and the two talk about being proactive with health, family history, and why having more information can sometimes feel empowering instead of scary.Bethany opens up about Charlie's recent procedure and the complicated emotions that come with loving an aging dog. From the little habits that quietly become part of daily life to the unexpected reminder of how much one dog changes the feeling of an entire house, it's an honest conversation about getting older alongside the animals we love.The conversation shifts into creativity and business, where they talk about making content that actually feels authentic, changing your mind about what you want, and why putting yourself out there matters even when the numbers don't immediately reflect it.Along the way they also discuss:<ul><li>Full body scans and preventative health </li><li>Charlie's Batman-style recovery cone </li><li>The thirty-day video challenge </li><li>Why authentic content is worth creating </li><li>Supporting other creators instead of just watching from the sidelines </li><li>Their shared obsession with The Great British Bake Off and Clarkson's Farm</li><li>Kait getting stuck in the back room of Trader Joe's during a severe storm </li><li>Tyrone the owl and the backyard mouse problem </li><li>Why Bethany might secretly make an excellent bus driver </li><li>And the importance of looking for the good things, even during difficult seasons </li></ul>It's one of those episodes that's less about having all the answers and more about appreciating the people, pets, and little moments that make up everyday life.
