Jon Patch welcomes Kim Kavin, author of LITTLE BOY BLUE: A Puppy's Rescue from Death Row and his Owner's Journey for Truth. When Kim Kavin decided that she wanted a puppy, she did what millions of people do every year: clicked on an online photo and submitted an application. She had no idea that the adorable brindle--advertised as healthy and near her home in New Jersey--was actually a last-minute rescue from a gas-chamber shelter in North Carolina. LITTLE BOY BLUE is the true story of one sweet puppy's journey of survival. It's also a shocking exposé that describes a brutal ongoing reality inside this country's taxpayer-funded shelters, while also detailing the inspiring story of the grass-roots rescue network that has exploded across the nation in recent years.

This is a special edition of the Canine Nation podcast. It’s longer than our usual podcasts and it’s features a couple of special guests. We hope you enjoy it. Petra Wingate is a great dog trainer. She also happens to be my wife. She has been teaching puppy and agility classes for the past few years. Darcie Jennings is a great friend and has been training dogs and their owners through her CommuniCanine business for over 13 years. As we often do, the three of us sat down to talk about dogs and dog training. But this time, Petra decided to record it and also prepared some questions for us to discuss. The result was a spirited discussion that lasted well over an hour and covered a lot of ground from essential behaviors to what makes us laugh about dogs. We’ve edited down the first part for this podcast. Not every trainer sees things the same way but in this case, we all challenge each other to be better and better. Questions or Comments?

Is it more ethical or moral to use positive dog training? For Eric Brad, the reasons are less lofty and more practical. And sometimes the simplest reasons can be the most compelling. When I decided to re-think my approach to training my dogs, I wasn’t looking for a moral or ethical solution. I was looking for a fast and easy change that wouldn’t involve a lot of expense and effort. Imagine my surprise to find that positive training would give me more than I could have hoped for!.

Some dog trainers use a kind of shorthand when they are describing dogs. Dog trainer Eric Brad thinks that some of those common terms can unfairly shift the responsibility for success or failure off of the trainer and onto the dog. The words and phrases we use when talking about dogs and training can influence our perceptions. Sometimes our inner dialogues can work against us. Are we being fair to our dogs and looking objectively at our own training skills? It could be the difference between a good relationship and a GREAT relationship. Questions or Comments?
