Vermont Dog Trainer Show

Feeding Your Dog I think it's EXTREMELY important that we have structured feeding for our dogs.  Listen in to what can happen if we can't keep track of our dogs feeding rituals!

I think there is more fluidity instead of position when it comes to body language.  What do you think?

Serena had a major announcement today that you don't want to miss! 

It's been a great week with 2 very interesting lessons.  But stay tuned for Monday's Chit Chat as Serena has a major announcement!

Food drive is done!  And did you know what Glucosamine can do for your dogs? Courtesy 93.9 WLVB

What's up podcasters? Autopilot is an interesting subject to talk about because dogs LOVE routine.  But sometimes that routine is more of a rut and can be a negative behavior. Courtesy 93.9 WLVB

Only 4 more states to go on my quest to interview a dog trainer from every state!

Hey Podcasters, The food drive comes to a close today and we accumulated close to 2,400lbs of pet food.  With all this talk about food I thought it would be a good idea to talk about how a dog digests it's food!  Courtesy 93.9 WLVB

I think it's important to have some sort of fire drill protocol in the dog daycare world.  We do it for our kids, why not for our dogs?  Do you have a plan in your home? Courtesy 93.9 WLVB

Cris was wonderful to talk to as she has an extensive knowledge of performance dog training that includes agility and rally.  You can hear her energy and passion in her voice during the interview.  And who knew she would make a name for herself using her own Rottweilers for that type of training.  Listen to what she has to say about how much she enjoys working with a Malinois that wants to work so badly that's its vibrating!  This is state # 46/50 and concludes the New England Region!

Serena and I spoke about how some dogs can connect with someone in an unhealthy way without the owner doing anything that encourages that kind of behavior.  Sometimes it happens in our daycare setting and it's an interesting subject to talk about. 

Would you believe the food drive is still going?  Even though we accomplished our goal of 2,000 pounds we are still going strong!  Plus listen to how your body language can effect the commands you give your dog.  Courtesy 93.9 WLVB

There are 2 distinct times of year that I see a big change in how the dogs act, Spring and Fall.  Why is that?  Well you have to listen to find out. Courtesy 93.9 WLVB

Hey Podcasters, I had a great time talking with Malaika.  We share a lot of the same points of view when it comes to training dogs.  I felt like I wanted to agree with everything she had to say.  I think I could have talked with her for hours, hopefully someday our paths will cross.  If you are in Nevada and you need some help with your dog, look her up, it will be worth it! 

Hey Podcast peeps, Last week Serena and I didn't have a chance to record our episode because of a family emergency that one of our staff members had.  Plus Serena finally gets a chance to get back at me with her own Pop Quiz!
