Good Dogs! #6035 (01-12-2015)

Good Dogs! ™

Dog Training is People Training All dogs are GOOD DOGS! We believe it is people who have to be educated to understand dogs on their terms, to "bring out the good" in each dog so we can live together harmoniously. This show explores all aspects of communication between people and dogs --- whether they are K-9 partners in military work, purpose-bred and trained service dogs, competitors in dog sports, or pets --- from a newly-adopted senior dog or young puppy. Tracie is joined by co-host Carol Borden, a veteran of 60 years training people to train dogs. She is the founder of Guardian Angel Medical Service Dogs, which has trained dogs through her college accredited/VA approved curriculum to work inside the Pentagon and other Department of Defense facilities alongside disabled staff members. Carol has also personally competed in the demanding sport of Schutzhund and has trained ex-military and police K-9 handlers to work at Guardian Angel training service dogs. NOTE: The first 77 GOOD DOGS! shows in the library were co-hosted by Tracie with three veteran trainers --- Gayle Watkins, Lise Pratt and Marcy Burke --- who bred agility performance Golden Retrievers.

Good Dogs! (with Avidog)

Good Dogs! (01-12-2015) #6035: Avidog co-owner and multi-champion Golden Retriever breeder Gayle Watkins, talks about the challenges of walking a dog in a group, and describers her experiences at a recent Golden Retriever specialty show. “If you cannot get obedient behavior at home, you sure won’t get it in a setting like that!” On leash walking recommendations — throw away the extendable leash (that only teaches bad behavior while wrapping around peoples’ ankles) and get a Walk in Sync harness with leash that shows you and your dog how to walk nicely in a group.
