It is the last step after a long, protracted unhappy few months. Everything collected as a couple over a lifetime is divided up as one becomes two and they go their separate ways. But what about the dog? How is that going to work and how do you keep the dog’s best interest a priority?
Who gets the dog if we split?
At a time when dog ownership is growing and the way people see dogs in a family setting is getting more complex, so too is the need to consider dogs during divorce.
Legal disputes are on the rise over who will get the dog, and with dogs considered chattels, like furniture, in most jurisdictions, stories are rife of couples fighting in court, sometimes just to spite their ex-partner.
While some states in the US and in other parts of the world are changing the law so judges have leeway to consider the best interests of pets during a divorce, like they do children, it is not across the board.
But an emerging industry of mediators and Petnups has developed, to help couples negotiate who will get the dog. Pet custody specialist Karis Nafte is a mediator who helps people decide the best way forward for their dog and in this episode, she walks us through all the ins and outs of what to know for your dog, before, during and after a split.
About Karis Nafte, Pet Custody Specialist
Originally from the USA, Karis started working with dogs professionally in 1996. She has hugely varied background in animal work; puppy training, doggy daycare, obedience, behavior problems, dog sports, aggressive dogs, shelter work, and on set movie training with a variety of animal species. After recognizing the need for ‘dog centered mediation’ during divorce, Karis became an internationally accredited family mediator. After 26 years of experience and working with thousands of dogs, she combines her wealth of knowledge animal behavior with mediation to help her clients make the best decision for their dog’s long-term wellbeing during divorce. Her goal is to help her clients see the dogs not as weapons or leverage against their ex, nor as human children, but as the individuals they are with their own needs. She collaborates with mediators and attorneys worldwide as well as offering regular webinars to educate divorce professionals about pets and divorce. In 2005 Karis moved to South Africa on a vacation, fell in love with the country, and decided to stay put. She lives there with her husband, daughter, 3 cats and 4 dogs. Known for her humane and effective training and behavior solutions, Karis is a nationally known and well-respected dog behavior consultant, regularly appearing on TV and radio in South Africa. She is a judge for the South African Dog Agility Association, and a licensed animal wrangler for the film industry.

Creative genius Dean Koontz talks about his muse: Trixie, his Golden Retriever. Then, we follow our noses to meet some special pooches who can sniff out Coronavirus.
Dean Koontz: How dogs changed my life
Dean Koontz writes international suspense bestsellers by habit ... and his massive body of work is bristling with furry faces and friendly wags. Why? Koontz joins us to share how dogs -- particularly a Golden Retriever named Trixie -- inspire him. Whether a major or minor character in life or fiction, dogs teach Koontz things no human ever could. Also discussed is his long-time support for Canine Companions for Independence ... and his love for his wife, business partner, and co-author, Gerda.
Sniffing out Coronavirus
Dogs have 300,000,000 olfactory receptors in their noses. Is it any wonder they know what COVID-19 smells like? As the pandemic rages, some very special dogs with very sensitive snouts may be our first line of defense. Dogs are training to sniff out COVID-19 in countries around the globe. As the world adjusts to a new normal, dogs may be screening us at airports and other important locations. But what does it take to make an accurate COVID sniffer dog? And how does the science behind it work?
Dean Koontz
International bestselling author Dean Koontz has written more than 105 novels, a number of novellas and short stories, and has sold over 500 million copies to date. Fourteen of his novels have risen to number one on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list, making him one of only a dozen writers ever to have achieved that milestone. After graduating from Shippensburg State College Dean Koontz wrote nights and weekends around other jobs to launch his career as an author. With the support of his wife Gerda, Dean eventually made his mark and she eventually quit her job to run the business end of her husband’s writing career. The couple live in Southern California with their golden retriever, Elsa, and the enduring spirit of their goldens now passed, Trixie and Anna.

How many of us dream about having a dog-friendly workplace where every day is bring-your-dog-to-work day? Social media and the rise of niche pet businesses is making that dream a reality for many.
Pet Influencers
Your dog might have what it takes to be a social media star. The real question is, do you? Creating and running a pet influencer account is a time-consuming endeavor but the payout and chance to work with your dog may be worth it. And like many human celebrities, having a talent agent might help. For this segment we travel to Australia to meet some Insta-famous Brussels Griffon pooches.
Petpreneurs
If you’re ready to embark on a new business venture, why not match your love of dogs with that great skill or that great idea? Do you bake? Maybe you could try making gourmet dog treats. Perhaps you can sew. Canine couture might be for you. Pet photographers, dog walkers, dog sitters, or being a social media pet influencer. There's no end to ideas for pet businesses, especially since the boom in pandemic puppy adoptions. Our guests today share the joys of owning and operating a pet business. But this is also a cautionary tale – being a petpreneur is harder than it seems.

Susanne Nicholls
Being Insta-famous was not on Susanne Nicholls radar when she posted that first snap of a frowning Squid, her Brussels Griffon, when he was just a few months old. The Adelaide ‘dog mum’ started the Instagram page to share photos with family in the UK, but fast-forward four years and ‘Squid the Griff’ is one of the hottest things on four legs. Together with younger brother Pretzel (also a Brussels Griffon) the pair have almost 400,000 followers, their own calendar, a range of merchandise, brand deals and are sought after for cameo photos. Susanne says while being a pet influencer does earn her some extra money, which goes towards good food and treats for the boys, it isn’t enough for her to give her up full time job. But she says, the page is definitely less about influence and more about making people and her pooches happy.

Loni Edwards

What started as a bit of fun for Chloe in 2013, turned into a whole new business for Loni two years later when she created The Dog Agency: a talent management and marketing agency for celebrity pets. The Dog Agency now works with pet influences across the world.

Can Music Calm an Anxious Dog | Surviving the Loss of Three Dogs in A Year | Dog Edition #18
Dog Edition
05/18/21 • 33 min
Humans sang before we created language, some linguists say. Is our first language the best way to communicate with dogs?
Can Music Calm an Anxious Dog?
Babies who fuss and cry all night are not resting well ... and neither are their parents. Heartbeat Lullabies, a hit recording from hit music producer Terry Woodford, helped. Everyone from NICU nurses to parents sent gratitude ... and then the Honolulu Zoo, animal shelters, and exhausted dog moms. Turns out, what works for babies works for animals, too. Joshua Leeds, music producer and bio-acoustics expert, joins us to explain why.
Surviving the Loss of Three Dogs in A Year
They say bad things happen in threes, and the year 2020 amplified that by about twenty bajillion. For Lori Levine and her family, the losses last year were in part canine: three family dogs died. Lori joins us to explain how her own history with grieving -- and a special Warren Zevon song -- helped her to cope. If you wonder how you will face your dog's death, Lori's expert advice will help ... because this celebrity marketing expert has a lifetime of hard-won wisdom to share. For a great companion piece, listen to the full interview on our sister show The Long Leash.

Hollywood Pet Hotel Turns Rescue Retreat | Dog Breed Pain: Perception vs Reality | Dog Edition #21
Dog Edition
06/08/21 • 29 min
The emotional, physical and mental toll that comes with hoarding dogs for both rescuers and ‘animal collectors’ is immense, but little is known about the complexities of the issue. Also, when it comes to pain sensitivity in dogs, are all breeds created equal?
Hollywood Pet Hotel turns Rescue Retreat
Animal hoarding is a complex problem encompassing public health, mental health, and animal cruelty. Words like unimaginable and disgusting may come to mind at the thought, while the people who hoard animals are often dismissed as incompetent and cruel. While little is understood about this issue, many are doing their bit to save the many dogs being hoarded across the globe. Among them is Melissa Bacelar, who transitioned her Luxury Dog Hotel Business to meet the need of large-scale rescues during the pandemic.
Pain sensitivity: Are all breeds created equal?
Is a Bulldog tougher than a Maltese when it comes to pain or is that just how we perceive them? That is the big question being tackled by a dream team of veterinary minds at North Caroline State University. They are investigating whether all dog breeds are created equal when it comes to pain sensitivity. While there is data to show dog owners and veterinarians believe there are differences, there are not any confirmed biological reasons for it. But the findings of this research could have ramifications for how vets potentially recognise and treat pain in our furry best friends and how dog lovers interact with different breeds.
