Bill's Foster Tales Hound Opinions

Hound Opinions is back, baby!

That's right! The holiday hiatus is over and we're diving back into it by talking once again about fostering.

Since Thanksgiving, my spouse and I have fostered a couple dogs. That's part of why we got a house, after all. The first experience was not so great and I'll get into why in the episode. The second was pretty great. I wanted to talk about both of those experiences
because they’re so different and they represent the real gamut of what fostering is like. It’s a tough experience and the fact that I’m a
professional dog trainer who works with tough dogs every day doesn’t make me immune from having a tough time with a foster dog.

So sit back, relax and strap it down, because it's going to be a little emotional.

DON'T FORGET: I want to answer YOUR training and behavior questions on the pod. And I want to play your lovely voices asking those questions. You've got two options:


Use your audio recording app of choice to record yourself asking a training or behavior question and email it to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast@bigwagschicago.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. I will then play it on the pod and answer it.
You can actually jump on a recording session with me and we'll go over your question together. That'll let me ask you follow-up questions and really dig deep into the issue. If that's the route you want to go, shoot me a quick email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast@bigwagschicago.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
