It's A Doggy Dog World - Dog Podcast about dogs as pets & caring for your pet dog, - Pets & Animals on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com)
These dog podcasts are all about dogs! We’ll talk about dogs large, small and in between; purebred dogs, designer dogs and mixed breeds. When we discuss breeds and mixes, we’ll take a look at what constitutes a breed or a mix; and the traits of some specific breeds. We’ll also take a look at how you can choose the right breed and dog for your family. We will also talk about the joys (and hassles) of living with a dog because when we share our lives with dogs, we are bringing another species into our home and there are often misunderstandings and miscommunications... on Pet Life Radio.

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, Pe...

Recently someone told Kate that his dog was bilingual. She asked, "'English and dog?" He laughed, "Okay, tri-lingual. Dog, English, and Spanish." Our dogs understand what we teach them. So how about Klingon? Or Harry Potter spells? Or Italian dishes? Yep, people have taught their dogs a whole lot of different languages.

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. Last year we recorded a couple of podcasts with suggestions about keeping your dog occupied or at least not bored, but we thought we'd revisit that topic. A year ago, none of us thought we'd still be doing this. Join us for some more ideas.

If you have favorites, drop us an email and maybe we'll revisit this topic with your comments.

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. However, if you can take some time and teach him to ignore distractions and focus on you, you can prevent unwanted situations where he could get into trouble. Tune in and listen as Liz, Petra, and Kate talk about teaching focus.

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...
