Summary: Audio edition of the article Adventures In Puppyhood: The Best Dog Yet from the Life As A Human online magazine website. You can visit Life as a Human to find this and other articles. Rizzo arrived here in our home just over 2 years ago. We had just lost our dear Vince who had been with us for 10 years. Vince was a dog who taught us a great deal. Rizzo the puppy pranced into our lives. Rizzo the dog still prances as he runs today. My Adventures In Puppyhood articles has given me the opportunity to share the process and progress in raising Rizzo. ”Each dog better than the last.” It was a goal my wife and I set for ourselves 9 years ago. Our move to training our dogs with behavioural science and positive methods changed how we did things with our dogs pretty radically. Raising our newest puppy was no exception. Instead of trying to keep unwanted behaviours in check and just teaching basic manners, we had much greater expectations. We wanted to see how much we could teach Rizzo about the world in addition to the behaviours we wanted from him. Thanks for listening to Canine Nation podcasts. I hope you can spread the word and let your dog-friends know about what you're hearing here. As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome!
