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?

Aggression vs. Reactivity

Aggression vs. Reactivity 

This week, Jess and Scott discuss the difference between aggression and reactivity. The two terms seem to commonly get tossed around as synonyms, but Scott and Jess don’t believe this to be the case after years in the field. Listen in for broader understanding of both topics.

What do Scott and Jess define both aggression and reactivity to be?

When should you consider your dog to be aggressive? 

Should euthanasia be a consideration in either situation?

“Fully Trained” Puppies

This week, Jess and Scott discuss a fairly new and pretty hot topic, which is buying a puppy that is already “fully trained.” This trend has been increasing throughout the past decade, and many families are spending 10K plus on a 4–6-month-old puppy!

What are the pros and cons of going this direction when adding a new dog?

How much can one reasonably expect out of a 4–6-month-old puppy? 

Why might training not transfer as well in some of these programs?
