  • Every Breath He Takes: Atticus and Our Experiences with Laryngeal Paralysis

    Every Breath He Takes: Atticus and Our Experiences with Laryngeal Paralysis
    Nov 30 2024

    Your dog can live with Laryngeal Paralysis, and it can be challenging for humans to know what they can do and what they can't do.

    In this episode, I share some of my experiences, some of my regrets, and some of our challenges.

    There are a few sentences about euthanization and facing loss, but there are a lot of sentences of information, hope and support.

  • Dog Training with Integrity and Fairness with Chrissy Messick

    Dog Training with Integrity and Fairness with Chrissy Messick
    Oct 19 2024

    Have I taught my dogs to peak around the kitchen island?

    Is it a behavior chain I've created?

    Is it always me?

    Let's learn from Chrissy Messick, owner of The Nature of Animals in Lafayette, Colorado, and host of the podcast The Dogs of Our Lives.

    Chrissy talks to The Dog Pod about how to be with our dogs and be curious about them, and how to be fair and less judgmental with our dogs and ourselves.
