Leading the Pack: The SHOW-SAFE Podcast explores the people and values shaping a
safer, more ethical future in the sport of dogs.
Through conversations with different members of our community, we promote integrity, respect, safety, advocacy, and collaboration—
ensuring fairness and protection for all participants.
In the first episode of Leading the Pack, Michael Hill sits down with founding SHOW-SAFE members Carissa Shimpeno and Jason Hoke.
Together, they reflect on their early days in the sport of dogs—sharing how impactful moments at dog shows shaped not just their careers, but their values, work ethic, and lives beyond the ring.
