Episode 7 - Chatting with Dr. Leslie of The Drake Center: Everything You Wanted to Know About Spay/Neuter and Vaccines

We are so excited about our collaboration with one of the country's foremost veterinary clinics, The Drake Center, and we're lucky enough to have them right here in Encinitas, CA. Join us for the first in an ongoing series of discussions with Dr. Kristie Leslie. Dr. Leslie is one of the amazing veterinarians at The Drake Center, and she has a special interest in dog behavior. In this episode, we focus on two subjects: Spaying and Neutering, and Vaccinations. We ask Dr. Leslie to clarify what the research says, and help to align on best practices for the individual dog. Because guess what...every dog is different, and the more we know, the more we make good decisions for our family members with fur.  This is Dog Days, where we dive into what’s really going on beneath your dog’s behavior—and how understanding their needs can unlock real, lasting change. You’ll hear honest stories of transformation, unexpected breakthroughs, and the kind of training wisdom that will help you feel more confident, connected, and calm with your dog.You won't find one-size-fits-all training tips here. Instead, you'll hear from compassionate, often humorous experts who help you build an enduring trust with your dog by shifting how you show up to the party. Whether your pup fits the description or not, there's something here for every dog parent. ✨ Learn more about Woof Academy and explore our programs at woof-academy.com🐾 Interested in becoming a dog trainer?
