In this episode of Auntie Mel Mel: Life Unfiltered, I’m joined by Kristen, CEO & founder of Intertwine Canine, for an honest, educational, and fun conversation about dogs, humans, and the things that don’t get talked about enough in the animal industry.

We dive into:

🐶 Why dogs aren’t “stubborn” — they’re often just untrained or misunderstood

🐶 Dog training myths and outdated methods that are still being pushed

🐶 Finding the middle ground in training — not force, not labels, but understanding

🐶 The human side of the leash and how our behavior impacts our dogs

🐶 What real training should actually look likeThis is not a quick-fix episode.Not about forcing compliance.

And definitely not about labeling dogs as “bad.”Kristen is incredibly passionate about what she does, and you can feel it throughout this conversation — plus her Boston accent and energy made this episode such a fun one to record.

If you’re open to learning, questioning what you’ve been told, and looking at dogs a little differently, this episode is for you.
