- Understanding Dog Anxiety and Building Confidence
Join host Michele Forto as she discusses how dog owners can better understand anxiety and how to build confidence in their furry companions.
When working with our dogs, we want to teach them new skills, build their confidence, and have fun together. Dogs aren't robots, and even if we think we're going into a regular training session, sometimes they can get nervous or spooked. But why does your dog get scared while you're training? Here are things to keep in mind if your dog gets anxious as you train together.

13 min - Disposable Heroes?
Join host Michele Forto as she discusses Disposable Heroes on Dog Works Radio.
Dogs, to most of us, are heroes without capes. They are there for us in our times of need. They provide a shoulder to cry on when we have a bad day. They help the disabled with all sorts of tasks. They provide therapy in times of crisis. They are there at the door wagging their tails when we come home from work. They protect us from bad guys. They sit at our feet when we watch the game. They share our ice cream, slobber, and all.
In my mind they indeed are heroes. And they are not disposable.
