    Taking the Stress Out of Vet Visits

    It's no secret that most dogs aren't thrilled about going to see the vet.  (Understandably so!)  Shots, blood draws, and even physical exams can be stressful, even for dogs who are normally easy-going and friendly. But the good news is, it doesn't have to be this way!  Join Dr. Jen for some simple suggestions to make things easier and less scary for your pup, starting at his next vet visit.   Also: a bonus listener question about treats for food allergy dogs.

    Choosing A Dog

    Choosing a new family member is a big decision that we shouldn't take lightly.  Unfortunately, trainers and veterinarians see a lot of dog and owner "mismatches" - these can be challenging to resolve from a training standpoint, and often result in lots of frustration for both parties.   If you're thinking of adding a new dog to your household, join Dr. Jen for a discussion about how you can make the best choice possible for your specific situation.

    Don't Touch My Stuff!

    How much do you know about resource guarding in dogs?  If your pup growls at you over his food bowl or his favorite rawhide, don't be embarrassed - you're not alone!   It might surprise you to learn that this is a normal canine behavior, and one that's usually fairly easy to modify with some smart management and a good training plan.   Also, a bonus listener question on crate training - is it confusing for puppies to have more than one crate?

    Myths About Training With Food

    In today's episode, Dr. Jen tackles some common myths about using treats in training.   Does using "human food" to train your dog make him more likely to beg at the table?  If you use treats to train a behavior, is it true that you'll always need have food on hand to get your dog to listen?  And why do we need food rewards, anyway - shouldn't our dogs do what we say because they respect us?

    Dog Parks - Yes, No, Maybe So?

    Today's episode is all about dog parks!  Is your pup a good "dog park dog," or would you be better off finding other options for exercise?  How can you tell?  What does appropriate play look like, and how can you make sure your dog isn't being bullied? Plus, a bonus listener question about cat training!  (But still tangentially related to working with dogs, since learning and behavior are the same across species.)
