The Quirky Dog

Dog(s) of The Year

 

Dog(s) of The Year

 

This week, Jess and Scott are joined by Jess Ajoux and Perry DeWitt. Not only did Jess win the AKC Nationals with her Border Collie Hallelujah within a year of her pandemic litter, but Perry also won Westminster for the second time with her very special boy Verb. Verb happens to be Lu’s father, so ‘2021 Dog of the Year’ quickly evolved into “Dogs of the Year.”

How have Jess and Perry’s lives looked the last few years?

What is it like doing dogs and life and business 24-7?

Why should we be more concerned about dog training in dog sports than physical ability?

Rationalizing Aggression

This week, Jess and Scott discuss how much aggression seems to be covered up these days. At least half of our clients have dogs who have shown severe reactivity or have bitten someone. The numbers continue to be on the rise, which is why we are bringing this topic to your attention.

 

Is aggression really that prevalent of an issue?

Why is it that we as humans feel we should justify our dogs’ bad behaviors?

How do we catch ourselves to make sure we are being honest with all parties?

In Season

This week, Jess and Scott discuss dog periods… EEEK! But legitimately, where do they stand on this topic? Let’s look at this from the male and female dog’s perspective and come up with a final verdict together (even though agreeing is so 1900’s). 

Should females in heat be allowed to compete?

How do different sports impact this topic differently?

Why can’t you just spay your dog?

Using Food in Training

This week, Jess and Scott discuss the value and drawbacks of using food in dog training. Some trainers claim you can never train a dog without using food as reinforcement while other trainers would argue you should never use food. Where do Scott and Jess fall in their thinking?

 

Why is food sometimes a hinderance?

 

What is the best way to gauge your dog’s success when it comes to using food?

 

How can you build food drive in a dog that is unimpressed at best by treats?

Bulldogge Follow Up Episode

This week, Jess and Scott invite Raiden the Olde English Bulldogge on for a follow up episode. As a little puppy, we had Raiden as a guest on the podcast. He was able to fit in Jess's arms. Now as a 1 1/2 year old dog we invite him back, but he no longer fits on Jess’s lap this time! 

 

What challenges has this dog dealt with as an Olde English Bulldogge during his first year?

How is his training after Doggy Boot Camp as a puppy? 

Should the owner neuter or not?

 

To see Raiden on his first podcast with Scott and Jess, click: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaPixJIynnI&t=26s
