61 – Boundary training for dogs

Marko — Wed, 17 Dec 2014 19:15:48 +0000

Pet podcast #61 features an interview with dog trainer Elizabeth Simpson of Tenderfoot Training and we talk about boundary training for dogs for about 30 minutes. What is boundary training? Most mammals have a sense of personal space and when that space is invaded, tension and problems can arise. Through body language, most socialized dogs will respect the personal space of another dog because they both understand each others verbal and non-verbal cues.

But when it comes to respecting the personal space(s) of humans, many dogs ignore our personal boundaries and invade our personal spaces when we don’t want them to. This space can be our immediate personal space or any space we choose to set boundaries for (like when we are using a kitchen or a bathroom). This pet podcast teaches you how to get your dog to respect your personal spaces through boundary training. (Updated Dec 17, 2014)

58 – Wolf Mixes and Wolves are Dangerous Pets – Interview with Dr. Stanley Coren

Marko — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:17:25 +0000

Pet podcast #58 features an fascinating interview with psychologist and dog expert Dr. Stanley Coren. They key question of the podcast is whether wolves or wolf hybrids make good pets. Lately it seems like we are seeing more wolves and wolf hybrids (wolves mixed with dogs) for sale. But just because something is for sale, it doesn’t mean it’s safe for you and your children and it doesn’t mean that the seller has your best interests at heart. So as the title suggests, the answer to this question is a BIG FAT NO.
We divulge the answer right away just in case people only have time for the headline.

Why are wolves and wolf hybrids dangerous pets?
Are wolves and dogs from the same line?
How come we were able to domesticate dogs so easily?

For those answers, take a listen to the podcast as Dr. Coren takes us on a brief history tour of wolves, wolf mixes, dogs and dog domestication.

54 (video) – How to give treats to the family dog

Marko — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:40:04 +0000

Pet podcast #54 is our second video podcast with dog trainer and animal behaviourist Sherry Bedard. In this episode Sherry and her dog Hailey teaches us (and OLDER children) how to give treats to the family dog. Although the technique is fairly basic, as always Sherry gives us extra information; this time it’s on food possession and the consequences of teasing your dog with food.

Sherry Bedard is an animal behaviourist and trainer working in Montreal. She founded Animal instincts school in 2005 and she teaches people how to become dog trainers. She also consults on a 1-to-1 basis with dog owners that are having problems with their dog. Sherry also teaches canine and feline behavior to students in the adult education program at Vanier College and regularly volunteers her time and expertise at local animal shelters in Montreal.

53 (video) – Teaching your dog how to sit

Marko — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:28:55 +0000

Pet podcast #53 is our first video podcast with dog trainer and animal behaviourist Sherry Bedard. Effective immediately, Sherry will be helping us put together short videos that offer quick tips to pet owners. This first video (about 5 minutes long) is about teaching your dog how to sit but it also talks about other training concepts like “capturing”.

It’s obvious from the video that Sherry’s dog Hailey knows lots of tricks that she wants to perform for the camera, but this technique works well on dogs with no training at all.

In terms of the occasional yapping in the background…sorry about that, this was shot at the SPCA and controlling the background noise is difficult. Gonna choose a different location next time.
