Welcome to the For Your K9 Podcast—where becoming a true student of the dog is at the heart of everything we do. Hosted by Nancy Reyes, CNWI, founder of For Your K9, and Lisa Bataska, behavior specialist and instructor, this podcast brings together the worlds of nose work, dog sports, behavior, and mental management in a way that is thoughtful, practical, and relationship-driven. With decades of combined experience helping dogs and their people, Nancy and Lisa focus on reading the dog in front of you, understanding canine body language, and building trust and communication that carry from everyday life to the competition ring. Whether you’re working through behavior challenges, building confidence in sport, or looking to better understand your dog, each episode offers honest conversations, real-world training insight, and strategies designed to help both ends of the leash grow together.
