Signs Your Dog Is Stressed or Frightened
Many people are under the assumption that only "bad" dogs bite. They believe tolerant, good dogs will never lose their cool. In reality, good dogs can be pushed to a point that they become angry. When dogs are angry they can growl, bark, jump, scratch and bite. Dogs are no different than humans. Good humans lose their cool and so can good dogs. A good dog owner works hard to prevent their dog from getting to the point of snapping. We can do that by monitoring our dog's emotions throughout the day and when interacting with others. This podcast is taking a turn from regular dog situations to focusing more on behavior and safety. This topic change follows the business motto of my new company Dog Savvy Kids. Dog Savvy Kids teaches adults and children how to read dogs. We want everyone to know when it is safe to interact with a dog and when the dog is feeling stressed, thereby needing some space. Dogs are great creatures that provide us happiness and health benefits. We want to ensure we are equally great to live with by understanding their needs. In today's episode we learn some signs dogs provide when they are feeling stressed, scared and frustrated. Let's learn about our dogs and pay attention to their mood. In doing so we will: CNTL (the environment for our dog) + ALTer (our behavior around dogs) + DEL (unnecessary dog bites). We will also learn WHEN TO PLAY and WHEN TO STAY AWAY.

Dog Trancing and Wagging Tails
Did you know that more is at risk, than a dog bite, when you pull your dog by their tail? Pulling a dog's tail can cause quite a bit of damage for the dog. We are going to discuss the injuries that can occur. We will also provide alternate ways to keep your dog from bolting out the door and failing to listen. We will also discuss a strange behavior that some dog owners have witnessed. It is called dog trancing.

Why Dogs Eat Cat Poop - Episode 27
I love creating podcasts to help people learn more about their canine friends and how to overcome issues, but have had difficulty fitting the hours in to publish my podcast weekly. So, I changed the format. For now, my podcasts will run 10 minutes or less. They will include WHY dogs do the things they dog -- WHEN their behavior can be bothersome or dangerous for themselves or others -- and HOW to solve the issue. Sometimes it is best to just stick to the facts. I am excited to record again. This week we discuss WHY dogs are attracted to cat poop. WHEN this behavior is harmful to dogs and HOW to solve it. For more detailed information on this topic, read our blog. If you are interested in studying dog training and becoming a certified dog trainer, visit ISCDT.
