The Woof Life Show - A Podcast for Dog Lovers

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker has a conversation with Matt Beisner of Zen Dog in LA and the star of Nat Geo Wild’s Dog Impossible Show

Note to my listeners, I am obsessed with Dog Impossible and I am so excited to chat with Matt to learn more about the show.

Beisner, owner of THE ZEN DOG http://www.thezendog.com, a cutting-edge dog facility in downtown Los Angeles, believes there are no bad dogs and knows every dog is capable of transformation. Through his work at THE ZEN DOG, Beisner risks his life and limbs for these animals because, as he says, “I used to be like them.” After his own life was saved through personal transformation, he rescued a dog, found his calling and came to understand that every relationship, especially that which you have with your dog, only works if it’s based on Respect, Trust and Love.

Beisner’s background makes him a fascinating person to chat with, Matt previously struggled with substance abuse and he found himself in jail. While recovering after getting out of jail, Beisner was challenged by an aggressive terrier who was owned by his roommate. That terrier named Kingston proved to be a turning point for him and his transformation. Beisner began to work with this dog and then began to tackle more cases, this was the inception of Zen Dog. Beisner experienced a quick rise to stardom when a celebrity client leveraged Beisner to help with a dog that they were struggling with. His approach that there are no bad dogs make him a final contact for a lot of people who find themselves at their wit’s end.

Beisner brings a unique and gentle approach to building relationships with each pet. “I’m a teacher at heart,” states Beisner. “Helping hopeless dogs is my purpose.” Catch up on Dog Impossible on streaming platforms and enjoy this conversation which includes a deep-dive into the case covered in the show.
