Dog owners and trainers both face challenges in keeping training new, fresh, and interesting for both dogs and their owners. If training becomes rote and boring, no one is going to have fun with it and if you're not having fun, you're less likely to do it. If the dog doesn't enjoy it, he's less likely to cooperate. Kindred Spirits is introducing a new program that combines obedience training, trick training, and games. Join Liz, Petra, and Kate as they talk about their hopes for...

As we recorded this podcast we're still in the midst of COVID and most of us are at home either full time or part time. We're all, at least, being careful.

If your dog is, for example, chasing a squirrel it's tough at that point to get your dog's attention. Calling him to come would most likely be futile.

In the last couple of weeks prior to recording this podcast, there were eight or nine headlines concerning bad dog bites, maulings, and even fatalities. Liz, Petra, and Kate aren't going into why aggressive dogs are aggressive, or why the dogs are running loose (at least not in this podcast) but instead what should you do if you're faced with an aggressive dog? And what should you do afterwards. This isn't a fun subject, it's not a happy podcast, and hopefully you'll never need this...
