Deborah gives a safety reminder about drugs and goodies pets find in parks ahead of easter and the chocolate park plague. Service dogs and legitimate therapy dogs’ expenses can be claimed as deductible expenses on your taxes but did you know that a portion of your expenses for a cat who mouses and a dog who protects or even barks can also be claimed? Deborah explains how you can do this for your pets expenses and save some money on taxes. Please send your voice clips, texts or email pet questions to [email protected] for answers on air from Deborah Wolfe and her guest experts. Dr Stan Coren Professor of Psychology will be coming back to the show next month so please send Deb your nutty pet questions now. So far we received ‘Is my cat retarded?’ and ‘Does my dog have OCD?’.

How to pick the right trainer for your dog; the questions to ask. Cat comedy plus an email question about how to stop a cat from paw kneading the owner at bedtime. Deborah explains why black cats & dogs make great pets. Deborah asks her listeners (97k plus per show) what type of car/ SUV is best for taking 4-8 dogs to dog parks, beaches and wild forest adventures. A vehicle that is good on gas, cleans up easily, isn’t too low to the ground for snow and rough roads and most importantly it must be easy for all dogs to enter and exit. Please send Deb your suggestions. Be alert and protect your pets from wolves and coyotes especially in Powell River, B.C. where wolves have mated with dogs to produce a wolf pack that is not afraid of coming close to houses to kill pets.

Souha Ezzedeen, explains the 4th pillar of her dog training method, ‘The Way of Life’ which deals with space and boundaries and limits on a new dog no matter what the age. Deb asks Souha if there are any breeds she does not enjoy training and that sparked a breed conversation, about the border collies, pit bulls and pugs. Does breed matter? Will the Xl Bullie ban in England bring good results? Can a pug learn and remember? There certainly are many bored medicated couch-potato working dogs, but is your dog an over worked over stimulated border collie or Aus. Shep? Like a kid with too many lessons after school?
