This episode kicks off season 10 with the exciting news that Rheannon has a new puppy! In order to find the perfect new member for the family Rheannon and her family drove 9 hours one way to go pick up a puppy. The whole family went on the adventure to pick up the puppy. On the freeway, popped tire of tires for the brand new truck! Tamara is wanting to get a dog DNA test to see what all is in the pup. Tamara had a great time going on an Alaska cruise with her family. Now her niece and nephew really enjoyed looking for hidden ducks. Tamara enjoyed trivia, pool time, and some really good food! Tamara volunteered to go get ice cream any time someone wanted to go get ice cream cones. Next trip coming up for Tamara is her birthday trip to Disneyland, and she is already deep in the planning to maximize her two days at the park. It will likely go downhill fast! 

From one night at a club to a national pup institution — this week, Hide and Seek goes back to where the Australian Pup and Handler Competition began. Jon and Joenas are joined by Pup Tycho, founder of the Australian Pup and Handler Competition, researcher, community organiser and one of the people who helped shape Australia's modern pup and handler scene. Ahead of APHC's return to Boorloo/Perth, Tycho takes us back to the beginning: discovering pup play, stepping into community leadership and creating a national competition with little more than one leather contest, one book about IML and a determination to do things differently. We unpack the ideas that became central to APHC — transparency, accessibility, affordability, safety and the belief that inclusion has to be something you do, not something you simply claim. Tycho reflects on wheelchair access, sensory spaces, keeping events financially accessible and why taking APHC around the country matters. Then we follow the competition through its evolution: the frantic first year, its first interstate outing at Gear'd, Tycho receiving the inaugural Nipper Award from International Puppy and Handler Weekend, the uncertainty of the lockdown years, APHC's post-pandemic return and the growth of an increasingly diverse Australian pup community. And with APHC now owned and run by the community itself, we ask what comes next. What should an Australian titleholder actually do? Where does inclusion still fall short? And if APHC is still going strong another ten years from now, what should its legacy be? As Tycho puts it: inclusion is an active process.

Does your puppy seem to turn into a completely different dog at night? The biting, zoomies, barking, and wild behavior may not mean your puppy needs more exercise. They may actually be overtired or overstimulated. In this episode of Puppy Talk, we'll look at why puppies often behave worse in the evening and how a simple wind-down routine can help your puppy settle, relax, and get the rest they need.If you need help housebreaking your new puppy, visit pottytrainingyourpuppy.com for FREE resources.

Sharptail hunting on the prairie gave Nick plenty to think about, especially with Hazel along for her first prairie trip. In this solo episode, he recaps the hunts and shares what changed when he started choosing cover with a young setter in mind.A cut hayfield that looked too short to hide a bird turned into one of the trip's most memorable walks. There was good work from an older dog, a puppy carrying a sharptail around a hay bale, and plenty of small moments that made the next hunt even more exciting.Nick also answers a listener's question about range and staying connected with a young dog, reflects on what the wind can hide, and remembers Hartley as another season gets underway.In this episodeWhy the roadside view doesn't always tell the whole story about prairie coverGrazing, patchy grass, and choosing places where Hazel could move and stay in sightA cut hayfield, Pike's point, and Hazel's first sharptail experiencesYoung-dog range, checking in, changing directions, and GPS collarsHow wind and the path a dog takes can change a bird contactHazel's early pointing and backing, and memories of HartleyA few questions from the conversationCan sharptails hide in a cut hayfield?They did on this trip. Nick describes Pike pointing a sharptail in short alfalfa that looked too open to conceal a bird. Taking Hazel into that field gave her room to move and stay visible, and the hunt changed Nick's confidence in a cover type he hadn't spent much time hunting.What made patchy prairie cover useful for a puppy?Nick found that thinner areas let Hazel move more easily and maintain visual contact. Patches of snowberry, bowls, and other remaining cover also gave the hunt clearer places to investigate. He contrasts that with thick, tall grass that can make a young dog's first outings harder than they need to be.How does Nick stay connected with a young dog?Nick describes building that connection through repeated outings and opportunities for the pup to check back. When Hazel lost sight of him, he stopped and let her look for him. He also talks about reconnecting before a major change of direction and fitting her with a GPS collar before her first grouse hunts.Does a birdless walk mean sharptails weren't there?Nick's experiences have taught him to leave room for doubt. One bird flushed while the hunters stopped to water a dog and check the map. In another remembered hunt, Hartley passed close to birds on the wrong side of the wind, then found them when he looped around.Support the showThis episode is brought to you by Upland Gun Company, Final Rise, and Irish Setter Boots.Upland Gun CompanyFinal Rise Shirt of the MonthIrish Setter Pheasants Forever EditionJoin the Birdshot Podcast community on Patreon.Have a question or something you'd like to hear more about in a future solo episode?

Some days call for a Sundae. And this one comes with all the right ingredients. Sundae is a sweet teenage pup with the softest floppy ears, enormous, beautiful eyes and enough personality to fill the biggest bowl. She may have arrived at the SPCA a little timid and unsure of the world, but this Sundae is ready for new beginnings. She just needs: a safe home, a loving family, plenty of patience and some positive guidance. She's still learning the ropes, including how to walk nicely on a leash, but she's a bright girl and already making strides. And let's talk about the toppings. There's a generous scoop of playful energy. A sprinkling of teenage puppy mischief. A few nuts? Well, obviously. She's a teenager. And underneath it all is a wonderfully sweet nature just waiting to shine. Sundae would love a family who'll keep her busy with walks, games, gentle training, and plenty of time together. She's medium-sized, energetic, and ready to become someone's very best friend. All she's missing is the cherry on top. And we're hoping that's you. Go and meet her at the Cape of Good Hope SPCA on the corner of First Avenue and First Road in Grassy Park. Call 021 700 4152, email adoptions@spca-ct.co.za or apply online at capespca.co.za and look for Sundae under Adoptable Pets.

Have you ever watched a BAXTER & Bella training video and thought, “That looks so easy!”—only to try it with your puppy and wonder why your dog doesn't respond the same way?You're not alone! In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what you're actually seeing when we train puppies on video. We explain the five things that make training look effortless: consistency, clear criteria, reinforcement history, emotional baggage, and handler timing.You'll learn why your own history with your puppy matters, how trainers know exactly what behavior they're looking for, and how you can build the same skills and confidence in your own training.The goal isn't to train like a professional. It's to understand what the professional is doing—and then practice those skills with your own puppy.Support the showFollow us on social mediaInstagram @BAXTERandBella Facebook @TheOnlinePuppySchool YouTube @BAXTERandBellaSubscribe to our site for FREE weekly training tips!

Confidence doesn't simply happen—it can be intentionally built through small, successful experiences. In this episode, Amy shares a simple way to help your puppy learn that new, unfamiliar things are safe, manageable, and worth exploring.We'll cover how to build confidence through novel objects, different surfaces, sounds, friendly strangers, obstacles, and recovery exercises. You'll learn how to break new experiences into manageable steps, recognize when you've moved too quickly, and help your puppy recover when something startles or worries them.The goal isn't to create a puppy who is never afraid. It's to raise a dog who can experience something unfamiliar, pause, think, recover, and move forward confidently. Instead of hoping confidence develops on its own, learn to build it intentionally—one rung at a time.Support the showFollow us on social mediaInstagram @BAXTERandBella Facebook @TheOnlinePuppySchool YouTube @BAXTERandBellaSubscribe to our site for FREE weekly training tips!

We got a puppy ♥️After unexpectedly losing Theo and then saying goodbye to Charlie just a few days later, life has felt really heavy around here. And somehow, in the middle of all that grief, we found Stanley.In this episode, I'm sharing a little about losing our boys, why getting another dog felt right for us, and what it's been like bringing a nine-week-old puppy home when I haven't raised a puppy in years — and now have a lot more experience as a dog trainer.I'm talking about the things I actually care about with Stanley right now, from crate training and potty training to recall, using his kibble throughout the day, exposing him to sounds and new environments, and trying to prevent some of the struggles I've seen in dogs over the years.And apparently knowing more about dog behavior has also turned me into a slightly insane, controlling puppy mom who watches to make sure Bobby says “go potty” at exactly the right moment. So there's that.Mostly, this episode is about puppies, grief, overthinking everything, and how much joy one little dog can bring into a house that really needed some.

From avoiding hostile language to establishing clear processes for health claims and navigating complex custom agreements—like guardian homes and breeding rights—we break down how to structure your terms to prevent confusion, minimize liability, and keep the best interest of the dog at the center.

Fanta is an absolute angel of a dog! He sits politely for treats, likes to relax when he's hanging out in the house, enjoys fetch but also loves playing with other dogs, is usually good on a leash walk, and is so thoroughly house-trained that he comes over to tug gently on the sleeve of the person taking care of him when he needs to go out.

Why do advertisers use cute animals to sell us everything from toilet roll and insurance to paint, tea and batteries? In this episode of Mark and Pete, we celebrate Britain's most memorable advertising animals, from the Andrex puppy and Compare the Market meerkats to the Dulux dog, Churchill the bulldog and those slightly unnerving PG Tips chimps.Because there is a principle here. A very successful one.Brands discovered long ago that if the product itself is dull, technical, embarrassing or simply not terribly lovable, attaching a cute animal to it can work wonders. Toilet paper is toilet paper. Insurance comparison websites are not exactly objects of affection. Paint is useful, but few people have ever gazed misty-eyed at a tin of emulsion.Then along comes a Labrador puppy.Suddenly the product feels warm, soft, friendly and familiar.The Andrex puppy first appeared in 1972 and became one of the longest-running advertising mascots in Britain. The Compare the Market meerkats arrived in 2009, built around the magnificently silly joke of confusing “market” with “meerkat”, and rapidly became more famous than many actual television personalities. Aleksandr and Sergei gave a comparison website something it badly needed: a personality.Then there is the Dulux dog. The Old English Sheepdog first appeared in advertising in the 1960s after one reportedly wandered into filming and looked so good that the company simply kept him. Sensible decision. There have since been generations of Dulux dogs, all selling the reassuring idea of home, comfort and slightly expensive paint.But why do these animals work so well?Partly it is what psychologists call “baby schema”. Big eyes, rounded faces, soft features and slightly helpless expressions trigger protective and affectionate responses in us. We anthropomorphise animals too, giving them voices, motives, personalities and little imaginary lives. Once that happens, the mascot stops being decoration and becomes someone we recognise.And recognition matters enormously in advertising.A recurring character can make a brand instantly identifiable before we have even properly registered the product. That is why mascots often survive for decades while advertising executives, slogans and entire marketing departments come and go.In this episode, Mark and Pete ask why cute animals are such powerful selling tools, remember the advertising mascots Britain grew up with, look at the psychology behind them and wonder whether modern advertising became less memorable when it stopped giving us puppies, meerkats, bulldogs and sheepdogs.Perhaps brands did not need more influencers.Perhaps they just needed a dog.

Many people assume that having a backyard is essential to raising a happy, well-behaved puppy. But the truth is, your puppy doesn't need a backyard to thrive. In this episode of Puppy Talk, we look at the pros and cons of having a backyard and why simply letting your puppy outside isn't a substitute for training, exercise, socialization, and spending quality time together. Whether you live in a house with a fenced yard or an apartment without one, you'll learn what your puppy really needs to grow into a happy, confident, well-adjusted dog.If you need help housebreaking your new puppy, visit pottytrainingyourpuppy.com for FREE resources.

What do you do when your puppy attacks your kids' ankles in the morning? How do you recognize when your puppy needs to go potty? Should you always say “off” when your puppy gets on the furniture? And what does it mean when your puppy growls while chewing something valuable?In this episode, Amy answers real questions from a new puppy family and breaks down exactly how to handle these common puppy behaviors. You'll learn how to prevent and redirect ankle biting, recognize your puppy's individual potty signals, teach an alternative to getting on furniture, and respond appropriately to growling and potential resource guarding—without punishing communication.Most importantly, we'll talk about the bigger picture: don't just teach your puppy what NOT to do. Teach your puppy what TO do instead.Support the showFollow us on social mediaInstagram @BAXTERandBella Facebook @TheOnlinePuppySchool YouTube @BAXTERandBellaSubscribe to our site for FREE weekly training tips!

Today's Song of the Day is “Slush Puppy” from Tommy Lefroy's album The Precariat, out October 23.

Scott Rizzuto has apparently reached the stage of adulthood where there's a 75% chance that if you contact him between 4 and 5 p.m., he's peeling garlic. Not relaxing. Not enjoying a hobby. Peeling garlic. Meanwhile, Lern accidentally ordered enough garlic to make her house legally inaccessible to vampires, which sends the crew into garlic oil, home remedies and other advice nobody should blindly follow just because five people with microphones said it confidently.And somehow, that's one of the more normal conversations in this comedy podcast.King Scott's baby is getting CLOSE, which means it's time to dig up the official baby pool and see who predicted the date, time and weight correctly. Scott says he's about 60% ready, the go-bag exists somewhere, and the car seat installation is still hanging out on the to-do list. So basically, fatherhood is proceeding exactly according to plan.That turns into kid birthday party etiquette, whether “NO GIFTS” actually means no gifts, and the worst possible present you could give a five-year-old if your real goal is making sure the parents never invite you anywhere again. Drum set? Puppy? Gold bars? The Rizz Show remains committed to providing absolutely terrible parenting resources free of charge.Then school season arrives and brings back memories of first-day outfits, high school parking spaces, Scott spray-painting his initials onto school property like a criminal mastermind who also signed the evidence, college costs, and the crew trying to understand why Illinois keeps catching strays.But eventually we arrive at the question that could divide America:Can you drink a non-alcoholic beer at work?More specifically, what happens if your SURGEON walks into the room before your operation holding one?Technically, it's non-alcoholic. Emotionally? Your brain has already requested another doctor.The crew runs the experiment through surgeons, pilots, school bus drivers, air traffic controllers and other professions where “don't worry, it's an NA” probably isn't the comforting sentence you were hoping to hear. Then Rafe introduces an equally troubling alternative: your heart surgeon walking in with a Capri Sun and struggling to get the straw into the pouch.Choose your fighter.From there, today's comedy podcast tackles low-key addictions, Rafe's mint supply, bad-breath paranoia, online shopping, Amazon delivery drivers asking customers to stop ordering cases of bottled water, and whether water baking in a brutally hot delivery truck makes that expensive alkaline stuff slightly less impressive.Then we get into homeowner association insanity, because apparently owning your house doesn't necessarily mean you're allowed to sit wherever the hell you want on it. One homeowner gets accused of doing “porch-type activity” while sitting in his garage — yes, that's apparently a category now — while another woman deals with HOA fines over a dead bush by simply spray-painting the thing green.Problem solved. Botanists hate this one simple trick.It's another comedy podcast packed with daily humor, weird news, St. Louis stories, ridiculous arguments, parenting panic and the sort of pop culture commentary that starts with a reasonable question and ends with five adults debating whether they'd trust a surgeon holding a Capri Sun.So, another productive morning at The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
