#015 - What is Separation Anxiety? With Drae BakerDoes your dog start to pant or pace while you're getting ready for work, or bark and destroy the house once you've gone? If so, he may have separation anxiety. This particular topic hits close to home for me as I have a dog with separation anxiety and to say he's made our lives “challenging” is an understatement. Grizz has not spent any time alone since we had a major incident involving some extensive damage to our home. If this all sounds too familiar, you're going to want to listen to this episode featuring my guest, Drae Baker. Drae is the owner and trainer at Dogwit Training in Calgary, Alberta. She specializes in separation anxiety and leash reactivity and is a certified SAPro trainer.   Separation anxiety is a complex issue that cannot be tackled in just one episode, but today we'll touch on what exactly it is, and how to know if your dog might be struggling from it. Drae's qualifications include:CBCC-KA (Certified Behaviour Consultant Canine-Knowledge Assessed)FDM (Certified Family Dog Mediator)Certified SAPro Trainer (Julie Naismith)Member of APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers)Member of PPG (Pet Professional Guild)Member of AFFA (Alberta Force-Free Alliance)In this episode you'll learn:What is separation anxiety?What could be causing separation anxietyWhat are some signs your dog might have separation anxiety?If the pandemic has increased separation anxiety casesHow a pup parent should greet their dog when arriving homeWhat to do if your dog has separation anxiety The roles supplements and medication play in treating separation anxiety 5 separation anxiety myths Resources from this episode:Episode 015: ResourcesEverything Pup Podcast Community on FacebookFind Holly on Social Media:FacebookInstagram 

#011 - How to Choose a Responsible Dog Breeder with Barbara WalmerDo you know the difference between a breeder doing things responsibly for the breed, their breeding dogs, and their puppies and those that are in it strictly for the money?For this episode I've enlisted Behaviour Consultant, Professional Dog Trainer and Golden Retriever breeder, Barbara Walmer, from Good As Gold Training in Calgary to help you choose a responsible dog breeder. It's our hope that after having listened to this episode, people will have no doubt in their minds whether or not they're purchasing their puppy from a puppy mill or backyard breeder, or whether their dog has been bred and cared for responsibly. Barbara's qualifications include:CPDT-KSA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge and Skills Assessed)CBCC-KA (Certified Behaviour Consultant Canine-Knowledge Assessed)KPA CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner)ACDBC (Associate Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant)FFCP (Fear-Free Certified Professional)Member of APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers)Member of CCPDT (Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers)Member of IAABC (International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants)Learn:The one thing all really good breeders do. What type of environment is best for your puppy to be raised in.Why it's so important your puppy doesn't leave their mom prematurely. Why it's a good thing if your breeder requires a signed contract. Why breeders should also be great matchmakers. Where to start your search for a good breeder.What questions you should ask a potential breeder and the answers you want to hear.The cool things temperament testing can tell you about your pup.Although the focus of the episode is on finding a reputable breeder, our discussion goes off topic a little and we discuss why someone might want a purebred dog. I feel like it's only fair to mention that purebred rescues exist as well, so it is possible to both rescue and have a purebred dog although it's still unlikely you'll know their lineage or medical history. Resources from this episode:Episode 011: ResourcesEverything Pup Podcast Community on FacebookFind Holly on Social Media:FacebookInstagram 

Imagine adopting a squishy-faced little puppy, falling in love and having a magical six-weeks together … and then realizing it's not going to work out and having to give her back to the animal rescue. Like, right away. Tomorrow. Can you? Stephanie Nelson had to do it. She adopted tiny little Juniper, a darling little girl with a white diamond on the back of her neck … and found out that her needs were just too much for their family to meet.

We're in for a real treat today! Ana Melara from Grace Dog Training and Behavior joins us today with some amazing nuggets that will help us take a step back, evaluate where we and our dogs are at in training, how to get the most out of the training and how we can create an even better relationship with our dogs. About Ana Melara, CPDT-KA: Ana Melara has been working with dogs and their families for over two decades, originally in N.Y.C. and since 2001 here in Colorado. She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and member of the (APDT) Association of Professional Dog Trainers and a member of (IAABC) International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. She is TAGteach Advanced Certified. (This means that she’s also very good at teaching people.) She keeps herself current by attending and hosting various workshops, seminars and conferences. Her training techniques are founded on praise-based, dog-friendly and people-friendly methods, and a fundamental belief that, as dog guardians, we are responsible for their well-being and training. Whether she is teaching basic manners, puppy house-training or addressing a dog’s aggression issues, Ana emphasizes to all of her human clients the profound importance that their gentle guidance and loving leadership plays in their dog’s training. Ana lives in Lakewood with her daughter and her three amazing dogs. Chaka, her 6 year old, brilliant, silly, crazy-pants trick dog; Tatonka, her sweet 12-ish year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier who has gone from nervous, bitey and growly to happily and waggly; and her youngest infant son, Baldr, a sweet, baby Malinois/GSD X who has appointed himself as the family therapist while dragging around his queen-sized woobie. Ana can be reached by emailing Ana@GraceDog.com, or calling 303-238-DOGS(3647).

Picture this: Your newborn baby is finally sleeping. You take a few moments to gaze at them admiringly. Happy, tired, ready to lie down yourself. Finally, a moment of peace. And then your dog barks. Baby wakes up. You have to start all over. Cue the frustration and chaos. There are many of us who would lose our minds in that moment—and rightfully so. The transition into becoming a parent is a big one. And avoiding chaos and frustration during all stages of parenting is a goal many of us have. This is no different with our four-legged family members as well. We want to avoid chaos and frustration. Today’s guest, Lisa Giesick is going to equip us with tips, strategies, and resources to teach us how to read our dogs, hire the right help when we need it, and set our families up for success—no matter what age or stage our dogs and kids are at. This show is great for families who are expecting and have dogs, parents of newborns, babies, toddlers, and older kids as well. She shares so much information including etiquette and multiple ways we can keep our kids and dogs safe. Lisa’s Bio: Lisa Giesick is the founder and owner of Ohana Pet Training as well as the head trainer. Having worked with animals since 1983 and in the animal welfare field for 16 years, she is a nationally certified dog trainer with the CCPDT (CPDT-KA) and is a member of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) and the PPG (Pet Professional Guild). Lisa also is a certified evaluator for the AKC Canine Good Citizen Program. At 13 years old, Lisa took on a job as a brusher/bather for a dog groomer to be around animals, thus beginning a life-long career. With an educational background in child development, psychology and criminology, basic and advanced humane academies, she continued her career as an animal control officer and Humane Investigations Supervisor for approximately 13 years. In Monterey County, CA., Lisa then worked at the SPCA of Monterey County, as a humane investigations supervisor, a sworn humane officer, then as the manager of the Humane Education and Behavior Departments. There she taught humane education programs to schools throughout Monterey County for students of all ages as well as senior citizens and disabled children and adults. She was also part of the pet therapy programs in the community. In September of 2005 Lisa left the SPCA of Monterey County to pursue her dream of starting her own pet training business. She also went on to teach animal behavior & care classes for high school students and started to teach group dog training classes at the Carmel Holistic Veterinary Clinic in Carmel, CA. before moving to Maui in June 2007 where she continued Ohana Pet Training. Lisa has since taught countless puppy kindergarten and group dog classes and helped dogs and owners through private classes as well as behavior consultations and continues to positively influence the lives of many of Maui’s island dogs through these services. Lisa believes that most behavior problems in dogs are caused by a lack of communication – because humans and dogs don’t speak the same language. Dog training to her is about building a relationship and she encourages people to learn to understand their dogs and teach their dogs to understand them through positive reinforcement techniques. She states: “Positive reinforcement is not only more humane than punishment, but it is far more effective. Punishing a dog for something he or she doesn’t know will not teach the correct way of doing something. Punishment will only make the dog confused and scared, while a dog that is taught what it is we desire in a positive way will stay relaxed, be able to listen better, be more self motivated to learn new things and have a deep trust relationship with their owner.” FULL SHOW NOTES AT: WWW.ELEVATINGMOTHERHOOD.COM
