Inspired by one of the most important and well-written books the dog world has seen, The Dog Merchants, a whistle-blower exposed an “industry inside and industry” according to the Washington Post Article, “Dog Fight”, that made front page headlines on Sunday, April 15th, 2018’s paper. Turns out: Some rescue groups are raising (a lot of) money for “puppy mill rescue”, and then actually purchasing dogs directly from dog auctions, a place where some commercial breeders gather to buy and sell dogs. Commonly, rescues pay even more for the dogs than other breeders would, and some breeders are now breeding specific breeds that they know are in high demand… by rescues! Saving a dog, perhaps… but continuing to fuel the very industry they say they are fighting against. This is controversial, and so important to understand as consumers and professionals in the dog industry. Listen, and then read “The Dog Merchants”, by Kim Kavin, also the author of the Washington Post article. We need to be informed, in order to truly help dogs in need.

Mom of three boys, Nicole, feels like she’s got the hang of raising her sons, but needs help with puppy challenges like nipping, sleeping through the night in a crate, and house training. All her questions get thoroughly answered in this episode as she joins Julie on the phone from Massachusetts.

Julie and Dr. Nels talk about the difference between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Post-Emotional Stress Disorder while he gives Julie’s sixteen year old dachshund a treatment to help her neck, back and hind legs. Then Patti Sherlock, author of “A Dog for All Seasons” talks about how her farm border collie helped her find herself after going through divorce.
