The Dog's Way Podcast: Dog Training for Real Life

If there's one consistent thing that owners put at the top of their list for behaviors it's to keep their dogs from jumping on their owners and other people. I will discuss options and how to create the right environment for it.

I'll also talk about the modes of communication, starting with postural and vocal methods and their place in this type of training. These are essential in understanding the communication between you and any dog and is important when assessing feedback.

I'll talk about a loose leash technique and what things you'll look before that happen before your dog tries to jump.

First, today's rescue pup is Maia! Thanks to P.U.P. dog rescue as always and to get more information about Maia, visit the website by clicking here.

By the way, for training sessions like this one I’d recommend going back and listening to episodes 2, 3 and 4, if you haven’t listened to those already. Those episodes give you foundational understandings of my relationship-based method and some of the theoretical constructs that I refer to in training episodes of the podcast.

Session 80: Love for Senior Paws with Beau Maxwell

I love this heartwarming story! Today's episode features Beau Maxwell, owner of Love for Senior Paws. Her focus is on care and adoption for senior pets. Her love and dedication started with a cocker spaniel she rescued from a disreputable breeder. Since then, she's dedicated her life to rescue and adoption of senior dogs for all through her group.

She talks about the primary goal of Love for Senior Paws. Some of the areas of focus are;

Raising awareness about the needs of senior pets
Specific challenges related to their care that the organization faces
Foster care / adoption
Working with underfunded shelters
Providing assistance with medical care while they wait to be adopted
Incredible success stories and positives for adopting senior pets
Their focus on continuing support for families that take on these pets

We talk about what the first steps are for people who want to be involved. We also share some general stories about relationships with dogs, and contrast them with the unique elements that mature dogs bring (whether it's pain management, rules and obedience, family connection, etc.)

There are options for sponsoring animals (more details about becoming part of "the pack" here).

You can visit Beau's website as well at LoveForSeniorPaws.org.

Also, I'd like to thank our sponsor P.U.P. Dog Rescue, and talk about their featured dog! Cocoa is a 9-year-old Chihuahua - she's a black, brown, and white short haired Chihuahua that is very sweet and calm. For more information, click here.

Session 82: Remote Training Collar 101

In today's podcast I will talk about a remote training method using e-collars! In podcast session 45 I talked a bit about this but I'll talk about how it relates to obedience training.

There's controversy and some things to consider and I will discuss all of that. When we use it for training it can be very effective and I'll talk about steps for you to train your dog effectively with it.

I've given you two links for items to consider buying as a part of this session. Here's a link to the Mini Educator (and in full disclosure, we make a couple bucks off of sales through the link.) You can do your own search for Educator e-collars online as well. In addition to the Mini Educator, the quick collar is helpful. Keep in mind that there is a 1 inch and a 3/4 inch collar. Just make sure it matches the model of educator collar you plan to buy.

Today's rescue pup is Culpepper! He's a maltese mix and is quite small, at about 8 pounds. He's all white, incredibly adorable, easy to be around, and a good natured pet that I'd love for you to take a look at by clicking here. Thanks to P.U.P. dog rescue as always for their support.

As I've done before I am presenting a new year's challenge to get you back into training your pet! I'll tell you more about my challenge in training. Also, we are fast approaching completion of our affiliate program through the website. I'll provide more details soon.
