A DIFFERENT KIND OF DOG PODCAST—REAL TALK FOR GUARDIANS, PROS & DOG LOVERS!


Meet the Host: Emily Breslin
Em is a passionate animal advocate with over 30 years of hands-on experience as a retired veterinary technician, pet sitter, dog walker, and now a virtual dog trainer. She holds multiple certifications in the canine field, including Family Dog Mediator (FDM), Certified Canine Enrichment Technician (DN-CET), and Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist (CPCN).
Her lifelong dream came to life through Straight Up Dog Talk, where she brings a perspective few others can—shaped by decades behind the treatment room doors and in the homes of dogs with big feelings. Her mission? To normalize honest, often overlooked conversations about dog parenthood. From behavior and training to health, nutrition, and grief, Em guides pet guardians through every stage with empathy, education, and zero judgment.
When she’s not podcasting or training, you’ll find her hanging with her two dogs, Toby and Fitz—who regularly steal the spotlight on her Instagram and remind her daily why this work matters.
