Whether your dog is six, eight, ten, or even older, the truth is that dogs continue learning throughout their lives. In this episode of Dog Training Unfiltered, Michele Forto breaks down one of the biggest myths in dog training and explains why age is rarely the reason training fails.  You'll learn why older dogs often have advantages over puppies, how long-established habits can be changed, why mental enrichment becomes even more important as dogs age, and what you can do this week to help your dog succeed. If you've ever thought, "My dog is too old to train," this episode may completely change your perspective.  Whether you have a senior rescue dog, a longtime family companion, or a dog with years of unwanted habits, this episode offers practical advice and encouragement to help you move forward with confidence.

Canine Cognitive Decline (CCD) is something that we're told is normal, part of aging and there isn't anything we can do about it. Well, only 2 of those things is correct. Carter Easler, the Director of Education and Research at CBD Dog Health helped pioneer a study that proves mushroom, YES MUSHROOMS, can have a positive effect on CCD, reversing some of its effects or halting progression. In this episode, Carter and I talk about the study itself, its results and what we can do, as pet parents, for our amazing dogs as they age. Check out the study here.Get your paws on Clarity, the blend used in the study here.

They're older and slower, but just because the arthritis is kicking in, that doesn't mean they can't have fun with a group of buddies. No, it's not an ad for a retirement village, it's the ethos of Wellington professional dog-walker, Justin Meade. The pooch-obssessed pack-walker has just started a new dog-walking service, one-day-a-week, for senior dogs. Mary Argue tagged along.

When it comes to getting a new dog, most of us automatically think of puppies and assume it's a furry little canine baby we'll be welcoming into our home. We don't usually think of our "new" dog as being a senior citizen, but there are plenty of adult and senior dogs out there in need of loving homes and bringing one into your family can be an immensely rewarding experience. Dog safety expert Peggy Rew is a huge fan of senior dog adoption- join her and Tina today for a discussion about the joys and challenges of adopting older dogs.   For show notes and more, please go to Your Family Dog.  

In this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, Angela and Carter sit down with Dr. Joel Ehrenzweig, veterinarian, researcher, and founder of Veterinary Health Research Centers — to talk about the groundbreaking Senior Dog Study they've been running together for the past year. Dr. Ehrenzweig shares why he shifted from a strictly pharmaceutical approach to fully embracing natural medicine late in his career. Angela, Carter and Dr. Ehrenzweig discuss how the Senior Dog Study is helping to validate what holistic practitioners have known for years: that functional mushrooms and natural adaptogens can potentially make a real difference in cognitive health, quality of life, and emotional connection for senior dogs.If you have an aging pup and have ever been told “there's nothing we can do,” this episode will give you hope, real data, and real-life stories showing that there are options. Learn more about the Senior Dog Study. Episode RecapLaunching the Senior Dog Study – Carter shares how they recruited a diverse group of senior dogs experiencing cognitive decline—many from families who believed they had no options left—then tracked behavior, activity, and sleep to build a data-backed picture of progress over the course of the study. (00:31)Validating Centuries of Natural Medicine – Angela shares how rescuing senior dogs inspired her to prove that natural approaches—real food, hemp, mushrooms, and adaptogens—can help aging pets thrive without relying on pharmaceutical “longevity drugs.” Dr. Ehrenzweig reflects on his shift from a strictly pharmaceutical mindset, describing how client feedback opened his eyes to alternative options and why he was intrigued to join this groundbreaking study. (02:46)Rethinking Canine Cognitive Decline – Dr. Ehrenzweig explains why a CCD diagnosis shouldn't be seen as “the end” for senior dogs, noting that it develops gradually and shares many similarities with human dementia and Alzheimer's. He describes the challenge of studying such a complex condition and the promise of finding better options beyond pharmaceuticals. Dr. Joel expresses hope that demonstrating improvement in dogs could pave the way for better, more natural options for humans facing cognitive decline in the future. (08:10)The Power of Whole-Plant Medicine & Synergy – Angela shares why her mission is to create pure, whole-plant and mushroom formulas rather than isolated compounds, emphasizing that nature's ingredients work best together. Combining adaptogens like Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Ashwagandha, and Bacopa Monnieri creates a synergistic effect—targeting multiple aspects of cognitive decline and delivering the results seen in the Senior Dog Study. (11:55)Measuring the Impact of Mushrooms & Adaptogens on CCD – Carter explains how the synergistic blend of Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Ashwagandha, and Bacopa Monnieri for dogs was designed to address multiple aspects of cognitive decline, from calming the nervous system to supporting neuroprotection and brain oxygenation. To capture these effects, the team used detailed questionnaires and scoring systems to track behaviors like nighttime waking, disorientation, and social engagement—finding that while every dog's response is different, the combination consistently improved quality of life across a wide range of cases.(14:44)Recognizing the First Signs of CCD – Dr. Joel explains that one of the earliest and most telling signs of canine cognitive decline is a shift in sleep patterns—dogs sleeping more during the day, then pacing or appearing restless at night. With wearable collars, pet parents, and researchers, can now track movement and sleep 24/7, giving an objective view of these changes. (20:01)Real-Life Transformations from Mushrooms & Adaptogens – Angela shares moving stories of senior dogs who were scheduled for euthanasia but experienced dramatic turnarounds after starting on these mushrooms & adaptogens—regaining mobility, focus, and connection with their families in just days. Dr. Joel, a seasoned veterinary researcher with over 15 years of experience, admits he had never seen natural ingredients work this quickly and effectively, reinforcing just how extraordinary these study results have been. (26:22)Beyond Anecdotes, Real Evidence from the Senior Dog Study – Carter and Dr. Joel emphasize that the Senior Dog Study is more than just testimonials. By combining real-time collar data that tracks sleep, wake cycles, and activity with caregiver questionnaires and even blood biomarkers like BDNF and CRP, they've created an objective, data-backed picture of how dogs are responding. Dr. Joel notes that even when improvements vary, simply slowing decline can be a meaningful win for families — and in many cases, the results are dramatic, with dogs showing better engagement, calmer behavior, and restored quality of life.

Puppies have clear care protocols — but what about seniors?This week, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak dive into conversation with Dr. Lisa Lippman from the Senior Dog Veterinary Society about how her team is closing one of the biggest gaps in veterinary medicine. She explains how the Society is closing a critical gap in veterinary education by offering CE-certified training and a certification program for veterinarians and technicians. The discussion covers identifying senior and geriatric stages across breeds, creating proactive wellness plans, adapting clinics to reduce stress and support mobility, and using quality-of-life scales to guide treatment and end-of-life decisions. Dr. Lippman also explores the emotional side of senior care, including anticipatory grief, and shares her vision for future standards and certification in geriatric veterinary medicine.   Learn more about Senior Dog Veterinary Society.

Should I Adopt a Senior Dog? Many of you have expressed your desire to adopt a dog recently, and many of you have over the last year. I hear this question a lot asking if someone should adopt a senior baby rather than a young dog or a puppy. There are plus points for both of those, but for today I am going to share with you the reasons why you should consider adopting a senior dog! Now first, what constitutes a senior dog in age? In the Dog Aging Project, they say that while we can recognize an aging dog it is more intricate to truly define aging. They said that the term “senior” can be described as an aging pet, but the number of years considered to be “senior” varies and a significant factor is based on size. Other identifiers like species, breed, and the state of their organs can also help determine if a dog has reached old age. Here's what researchers had to say: small breeds ranging between 2 and 20 pounds and medium breeds between 21 and 50 pounds are considered seniors at 7 – 10 years old. Large breeds from 51 to 90 pounds are considered seniors at 5 to 8 years old. Giant breeds from ninety plus pounds are considered seniors at 5 years old. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) published Senior Care Guidelines recommending that we approach senior status when the dogs are in the last 25% of their expected lifespan. There are additional physical, behavioral, and cognitive signs that help determine if our dog is in senior status. The takeaway here is that you can adopt a “senior” dog and have MANY years left to spend with them! Here are some great reasons why you should go out and adopt one right now, or two! One, senior dogs are already housebroken so they understand routines. If there are a few missteps, they notice routines very well once they've had time to decompress and acclimate to your home. If you do have a more pressing issue, it could be that your new friend has a medical hiccup or is having challenges adjusting. Both, medical and behavioral can be readily checked out and worked through though so please do not let that deter you. These dogs are so smart and will be a model family member in no time. Two, an older dog has already gone through puppyhood, so this means they are usually calmer or more laid back. Sure, they will still run figure eights around you in the park at times from excitement or joy but often they are calmer. They also know the routines of car trips or vet visits and are easy to travel with actually! Three, you also know what their personality is like by this point. Puppies grow into their personalities, and it takes some time to see just what their temperament is like and who they really end up being. So, all those points about taking the best care of your puppies and bringing them up with love comes into play here. With a senior dog you know what they really love to do, and what they need to feel secure and happy. Plus, they communicate well. If you find they need some top up training they are smart enough to keep learning and absolutely can. Do not think they can't keep learning. Four, Senior dogs may be more affectionate. A lot of people love to have the type of dog who will curl up at their feet or share their bed at night or take walks with them. Senior dogs fit that bill! Few things are better in the day than coming home to a precious soul ready to love on you and hear all your stories from the day.

Playful puppies and cuddly kittens are usually the first ones to be adopted in shelters, but what about senior pets? The sad truth is in most facilities, senior pets are the last to be adopted, if they're adopted at all. The ASPCA reports that senior dogs have a 25% adoption rate, compared to the 60% adoption rate of younger dogs and puppies and the stats for cats are even worse. In this episode, host Amy Castro explores the world of senior dog rescue and adoption with Sherri Franklin, president and CEO of Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco. Muttville was the first senior dog rescue in the US and has saved the lives of  almost 11,000 senior dogs since it began in 2007. In this episode, Amy and Sherri discuss:Why so many senior dogs end up in sheltersWhy people hesitate to adopt senior dogsThe benefits of adopting a seniorThe important role fosters play in getting dogs adoptedHospice adoption and the rewards for both dog and adopterAnd more!Shoutouts in this episode:Muttville Senior Dog RescueFamily Animal Hospital of FriendswoodStarlight Outreach and Rescue#petadoption #adoptdontshop #dogbreeder #pets #petstagram #petsofinstagram #petsagram #instapets #petshop #pets_of_instagram #cutepets #petscorner #petsofig #picpets #worldofcutepets #pets_perfection #lovepets #exoticpets #petsofinsta #petsgram #delight_pets #friendlypets #showcasing_pets #inspiredbypets #pets_of_our_world #rescuepetsofinstagram #mypets #petsarefamily s #petslover #petnutrition #podcast #petpodcaster #petcare #petfriendly #petlovers #petwellness #seniordog #seniordogs #seniorpetsKeep this podcast coming to you each week and bringing you GREAT content so you can be the best pet parent ever! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/starlightpettalkGET YOUR STARLIGHT PET TALK MERCHANDISE HERE! www.starlightoutreachandrescue.org/store FOLLOW STARLIGHT PET TALK ▷ Official Site: https://www.starlighpettalk.com ▶ Facebook: / starlightoutreachandrescue ▶ YouTube: -https://bit.ly/starlightsubscribe ▶ TikTok: ...
