Vermont Dog Trainer Show

Dog Training Reid is a down to earth kinda guy and I always enjoy talking with him as we've known each other for a few years. We have always been able to toss ideas off each other and pick each others brains when needed. He tells a great story of one of the worst bites he's ever received.....and as always bites are learning experiences for dog trainers. But it didn't slow Reid down - he's got a great thing going and his wife has been by his side the entire time. Take a listen!

Dog Training This has been a focus of mine for a few days and I would love to know your opinion on this clip. I think stress can be a good thing......to a degree. What do you think?

Dog Training It's that time of year again and thunderstorms can be quite tough on some dogs. Here are some ideas that might help you with your dog. Courtesy 93.9 FM WLVB

Dog Training This is probably one of the most common questions dog trainers get. Except now I am living it! This show was taped before we got the puppy so I had my game plan set before the puppy arrived. Rule # 1 - don't let the puppy explore the house! Take them for a walk first! She sleeps about 10 hours in the crate at night plus about 3 hours during the day split up into 2 different sessions. Courtesy 93.9 WLVB

Dog Training Tom has quite the story from starting his business in California doing board and trains while he was living on a boat to now being established in Colorado. It was interesting to hear the differences of the dogs he worked with in both states. He's known as "the pit bull guy" and says he's comfortable with it especially owning 4 of his own. If you are in his area be sure to look him up.

Dog Training This is a great subject that many dog owners struggle with. If you have a dog that is overexcited to go for a walk (which most dogs are and that's when the pulling starts) then this is the episode for you. This will give you a better idea on how to handle that situation and what to accomplish first, which is a relaxed dog before you walk out of the door!

Dog Training It's safe to say that Nelson has a different take on dog training. When he takes dogs in for training he will keep them as long as he has to which could be for months. He also calls himself the "anti-christ" to dog trainers because he makes them think differently about what they do. From the big state of Texas, meet Nelson Hodges!

Dog Training BUCKLE UP! This conversation with Ken was a fun ride, from talking about his start in his living room to now having a dog training complex that consists of 600 acres including planes, trains, and automobiles. Ken and his staff train these dogs for the military, federal agents, NSA, and The Pentagon. It's the premier facility for training these types of dogs that end up saving lives, sniffing out drugs, and protecting some of the highest ranked officials in other countries.

Dog Training There are some female dog trainers in this country that are truly amazing at what they can do, Robin is one of them. From an early age she was observing all sorts of animals and her story from wanting to be a vet tech to a near fatal accident is truly captivating. We had a great conversation about workshops and how the attendance is always lop-sided between men and women. I enjoyed talking with Robin and I think you will be able to resonate with her on many levels.

dog training If you don't know Julie you will quickly find out her passion is in rescue. Fostering over 100 dogs and finding homes for them is truly her niche. Her website www.rescuedogsresponsibly.com is quickly gaining recognition as the place to go to do research before adopting a dog. She gives the listeners a ton of insight into the rescue world and make sure to listen to the breed game.....I might have changed it up a bit! ;-)

Dog Training I am really liking my Monday Night Live Stream on Facebook. I have such an interactive group every week that always comes up with some great questions. You will notice I got thrown an absolute curveball in the beginning of this one.....take a listen as I lost my train of thought! LOL

Dog Training I believe that after hearing this episode with Mark you will feel like you have known him for a while. I enjoyed picking his brain about his experience with the K9 dogs in law enforcement and German Shepherds. He loves to create fun outlets for dog owners to have with their dogs which is refreshing to hear. Plus he opens up about a life changing experience that you won't want to miss.

Dog Training Interhousehold dog fighting is one of the toughest things to deal with as a dog owner. Dogs have to be kept separate all the time with gates, crates, kennels, or leashes. It's a tough way to live and I don't wish it on anyone. Get some insight on my thoughts on this subject!

Dog Training This is a subject I come across a lot with my clients and I think it's a natural to do as a dog owner. Comparing our past dogs with our current dogs can be okay if you can understand they are different personalities and temperaments. But the problem occurs when owners don't understand why there are differences and wonder why their current dog isn't like their past dogs. Courtesy 93.9 WLVB

Dog Training I hear this statement a lot "my dog barks at everything" or "my dog is afraid of everything". In this episode we dive deep into the reasons and how to start the recovery process. Enjoy!
