K9 Educators - To Save a Pets Life Eric "Odie" Roth

Professional pet photography allows you to have high-quality images of your pet to cherish for years to come. From candid shots to posed portraits, a professional photographer can capture the unique personality and spirit of your pet in a way that phone snapshots just can't match.

 In this episode of To Save a Pet's Life, we speak with pet photographer Bonnie Sindlar. We discuss the benefits of hiring a professional, finding the right location for shoots, and debunking photography stereotypes. Check out the directory Happily Ever Photo for pet photographers and find the perfect Photographer!

In this episode I spend some time with one of my former students Abby Davis. Abby has quite the passion and during one training course actually got blisters on her hands attempting revive my CPR manikins. Abby is now a professional groomer and will talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly side of grooming and how she ended up in this career field.

Until next time- Never let fear be larger than your purpose! 

Dog-training programs (DTPs) are the most common type of prison-based animal programs (Furst, 2006). The first successful prison-based animal program in the United States unintentionally began in 1975 at the Lima State Hospital in Ohio, when an inmate adopted an injured bird (Strimple, 2003). The staff noticed a change in the behavior of inmates on the ward, which led them to allow an animal therapy program. It was found that inmates in the ward with animals needed 50% less medication, fewer attempted suicides, and there was less violence compared to a control group of inmates that did not have access to animals (Britton and Button, 2005; Harkrader, Burke, and Owen, 2004).
There have been 290 facilities across the 50 states in America that have implemented DTPs. DTPs have been around since 1981 when the first program was implemented at the Washington State Corrections Center for Women, because the program’s founder, Sister Pauline Quinn, recognized the therapeutic power of dogs when a dog helped her recover from psychiatric issues herself (Kohl and Wenner, 2012). The specific goals and objectives of each program may vary. However, the overall goals are to reduce recidivism and improve behavior among participants. Improving the behavior of participants can ultimately contribute to the rehabilitation effectiveness. 

In this episode we will interview an inmate and talk about the program. Special thanks to Domestic-PUPS in Nebraska for allowing us to recored this interview.  

Your "WHY" is a statement of purpose that describes why you do the work you do and the why you live the lifestyle you do. In this episode we will travel back in time and talk about an incident that happened many years ago and that helped define my why.

In this episode we will visit with my previous neighbor Cassi Toth as we recall the events of that day. You can't plan when an emergency will happen, however you can plan for an emergency.

It is that time of year again!  BOOM BOOM BANG! Dogs experience the world through their senses — nose, eyes, ears. The typical Fourth of July celebration can be overwhelming to them. 

In Episode 5 we talked about simple strategies for dog owners. We have asked Dog trainer Jennifer Skiba from Namastay training to come back to the show to dig in a little deeper.

We hope you enjoy the episode!
