Our One Wild And Precious Lives (And Our Dogs)

Caden talks about the difference between an "enriching" and a "fulfilling" life for our dogs ... and how the meaning of each term is ultimately up to us humans, since we can't ask the dogs!

Happy training, you all!

Caden and Anna talk about the seminar they met at and how it feels to have financially supported someone we don't politically agree with, but deeply respect as a dog trainer. The broader question becomes: how do we balance spending money on education (or other things), and financially supporting who we (all of us, including you, the listener!) believe most "deserves" or merits our support in terms of purchasing their goods or services. Hint: it's not an easy answer at all.

That time was a great one! Thoughts about what anything you could frame as a "breakup" should (in my mind) look like: sad, sure, but also beautiful because we celebrate exploring new adventures, and with lots of appreciation on everyone's side. <3

Time flies: in March 2025, Game's puppies will be turning a year old! In this episode, I want to share about two of the puppies who are local to me and regularly part of my life, and I'll also talk to Joan who took Judge, our purple collar boy formerly known as Oso, to Minnesota! Tune in for all the updates!

The puppies' theme song—still spot on:

Thoughts on letting dogs experience the world on their terms versus expecting them to focus on you right away ... or shielding them from the world altogether. An opinion.

What's most important when raising puppies? In my opinion, three things:

+ environmental exposure

+ socialization/social exposure (to humans and dogs)

+ husbandry/handling/preparing for vet visits

Caden talks about using the environment itself to reinforce behaviors made difficult by the very environment. How can we teach our dogs to choose working with us over food on the ground or critters to chase?

Kassidi Jones is an antiracist animal advocate, grad student in African American Studies and English and shares her life with the one and only Ginger. In this episode, we take a look at how classism and racism show up in the pet world and in the peculiar slice of the dog world Caden talked about in E45. How do minds change?

This episode is a 3/3 on the dog geekery scale.

A story about conversations not made public, an Island you've never heard of and the tragic fate of the Gulplet.

Things are wrong in a peculiar slice of the dog world, and things are wrong in the world at large - but you already knew that. How about we do something about it?

This episode is a 3/3 on the canine nerd level scale.

Caden's second tale of transparency in terms of money and motives when it comes to dogs (who are, like most things I do, a metaphor for life in general.) In this short, but informative monologue, you'll learn:

+ How much did I sell Game's puppies for?

+ What kinds of homes did I select from the many excellent ones available to me here in Mexico?

+ What do I think about puppy contracts?

+ What secret handshake might come in handy if you plan to purchase a puppy in my tiny slice of the dog world?
