    Chat with Shumin about Charlie the 4WD Dog

    I met Shumin and her husband some years ago, so when I got a chance to prerecord an episode, chatting about the 4WD Westie, I jumped at it. Our casual chat covered many topics from how to prepare for travelling with a dog, what is required to make sure all goes well. What to look out for, even how to choose a pet, as well as training when time is limited. With Charlie being a minor celebrity and his Mum and Dad both fantastic Hosts & Presenters on TV I learnt a lot myself.  Following are things spoken about, of course you can contact us if you have any questions. Importantly if you feel you have a career or experience which other Aussie Pet Owners can benefit from with any aspect of any kind of pet please message us. We will do our best to fit you into our schedule in late 2020, we're always looking for more interesting Professionals and Pet Owners to chat to in 2021.  Instagram  - Copy and Paste address below to see Charlie's Insta posts Get your own Westie Neck Gator at https://gearupplus.com Book Shumin got inspiration from "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carneigie Youtube -  Copy and Paste address to watch Shumin chat about training Charlie https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=shumin+xi (Please note Shumin is speaking Mandarin - Clip does have English Subtitles.

    Unusual Pets need "Unusual Vets"

    Dr Shane Simpson is well known amongst the reptile keeping community as “The Reptile Doctor” and brings his wealth of experience in the field of reptile and amphibian medicine and surgery to The Unusual Pet Vets. He regularly presents on the topic to fellow veterinarians, veterinary nurses and reptile keepers both here in Australia and internationally. In addition, he has contributed to several veterinary text books, held positions on animal ethics committees and does a considerable amount of work training wildlife rehabilitators about caring for injured reptiles. When not working at The Unusual Pet Vets, Shane can be found just up the road still treating dogs and cats at Karingal Veterinary Hospital where he is also a co-owner of the practice. Shane has a diverse reptile collection that his wife and two daughters are OK with as long as they stay behind the glass. He also has a big, dopey Bloodhound Cross dog named Butter. https://www.unusualpetvets.com.au/ (Specialist Vets) https://www.karingalvet.com.au/ (Dr Shane's Vet joint up the road) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axolotl  https://www.wildlife.vic.gov.au/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-tongued_skink (Blue Tongue Lizard) Packages for setting up Dr Shane's Animals that scored 7+ on his "Pets for Newbies" 1/ Reptiles scored as top choice pet for newbie pet owners, package nearly developed and released (11/10 FOR EASE OF CARE) 2/ https://www.unusualpetvets.com.au/hopstart-package-for-rats/ (10/10 "BULLETPROOF" TOP PET FOR KIDDOS FIRST PET) 3/ https://www.unusualpetvets.com.au/hopstart-package-for-rabbits/ (7/10 FOR ADULTS OR OLDER KIDS) 4/ https://www.unusualpetvets.com.au/flockstart-package-for-chickens/ (6/10 AS CLEANING AND GOOD HUSBANDRY NOT SO EASY) 5/ https://www.unusualpetvets.com.au/flystart-package-for-birds/ (Canaries, Budgies BUT NOT COCKATOOS WHICH MIGHT LIVE 80+ YEARS) PS For a long and happy relationship with your pet consider a short consultation with a Vet to understand what animal is suitable for you or your family, then to understand what is required to keep them happy and healthy.

    Brad Griggs, From puppies to problem dogs and everything in between.

    Brad packed information into this podcast which we hope you think about then act on for a positive pet relationship for life.  Due to the limitations of my equipment I must apologise for technical difficulties with this transmission, brand new gear has arrived ironing out feedback and technical issues going forward.  This doesn't detract at all from content which is fascinating, ranging from entering into pet ownership before you even purchase a puppy, expectations on different breeds, some general guidelines about dealing with puppies and puppy schools,  to what your kids need to  know when confronted by a dog that might bite. Covid19 has associated limitations on business and social distancing, including services that can be offered. The great news is anyone who is thinking of getting a pet, has a pet with bad behaviour or wants to improve outcomes with their pet there is another option.  To get in contact with a Professional Dog Behaviourists, go to www.k9service.com.au and fill out the contact form, detailing what you would like to do. e.g. "I'm thinking of getting a puppy, can I book an online consultation?" Canine Services International I assure you do respond to enquiries via "Contact Us" form. For over 8 years, I have seen Canine Services International, delivering incredible value on any investment clients make in education both before and after they bring a pet into their life, through consultations and training. As promised here are the links to Brad's sea of information on Youtube www.k9services.com.au  https://youtu.be/4YW4LClUYF0 Dog Training Basics: Markers - touched on with story about puppy training https://youtu.be/ssM4tmgwoo8 Dog Bite Prevention & Dog Safety Resource - everyone should watch this https://youtu.be/22GuMyYCXo8 Tony & Charlie training - 2019 - what a client's dog has learnt in a relatively short time https://youtu.be/XKZL_y1cOOg 5 Tips To Puppy Bonding 2019 - goes without saying
