Welcome to Love ‘Em & Lead ‘Em—the podcast that keeps it real about dogs, dog training, and the humans in the middle of it all.
We’re Cory and Melaney, the dog behavior-obsessed duo behind Dog Training Camp USA in Louisville, KY. As a former special education teacher and a former Military Police K9 handler, we bring practical know-how, heart, and a whole lot of humor to every episode.
🎧 New episodes drop every other week, covering:
Real-life client stories (yes, the wild ones too)
Training tips that actually work—no gadgets, no bribes
Conversations about business, mental health, and friendship
And the occasional birding joke… because why not?
Whether you’ve got a well-behaved pup or a full-blown dumpster fire, you’re not alone—and we’ve got your back.
🐾 Subscribe, laugh, learn, and maybe cry a little.
🦴 Because loving your dog and leading them go hand in hand.

A listener asked a great question about our “Zuko” episode: why did that dog like Cory but come after Melaney? Short answer: dogs read us—our body language, heart rate, even our scent—better than we read ourselves. In this conversation we unpack how your mental and physical state can flip a session from smooth to sketchy, why thresholds and territory matter, and how tiny life changes (a vet visit smell, moving a favorite chair, a new neighbor’s dogs) can ripple into “sudden” behavior shifts.
We also share practical tools: build a predictable routine, make a simple plan before you train, visualize success (shoutout Sheri Wolf Lucas), advocate for your dog with confident “no, you may not pet,” and know when to tap out for safety. Plus: cryptid tees, The Cranberries, and a post-college-drop-off birding field trip to get our heads right—because your vibe becomes your dog’s vibe.
