The Pack Animal Podcast

We all know the placement and care for the homeless dog population in America has been an ongoing struggle. Rescues from California to New York dedicate their time and efforts to help educate and control this ongoing issue. Today on the show we have a special guest joining us, Author and animal lover Marla Stahl. Who believes in the education and hope of our youth to carry on this compassion for animals and to continue the mission of rescue.

Marla launched Woofboooks with her first Childrens book called “Can Sugar come out to play” and has since then published four more books “The Adventures Of Grandma Charlotte”, “Mason The Ambassadog”, “Lucy The Amazing Wonder Dog”, and “Sugar Goes To The Dentist”.

Here’s a Link to Marla’s website for more information about her books

Training devices can be very useful and make training easier but I feel it is massively important to understand that these are not the solution! Using devices in-place of training will never yield the results you may be looking for and can cause both physical and mental harm to your dog in the long run. 

Accountability, effort and dedication to proper training is the only way to go.

"Don't blame the device for lack of effort."

Each and every day we experience moments of simplicity that can answer life’s most difficult questions. We simply have to open our mind’s eye and acknowledge them. This episode I just wanted to share one of my own personal experiences. The most difficult challenge when dealing with a behavior issue is stopping yourself from defeating yourself. Don’t give up when times become hard. Dedication and seeing your success will yield the greats results.

What is Socializing? We have all heard of this term being used when referring to our dog’s behavior in public. In this episode of The Pack Animal Podcast, I give my opinion on what proper socializing is and how to approach a healthy interaction.

What is domestication? The domestic dog dates back tens of thousands of years. However, there are no wild golden retrievers or Doberman Pinscher packs roaming the forests...so how did we get the German Shorthair pointer and Labrador Retriever from a Wolf or Coyote? The debate is still in the air today. Join us with special guest and personal friend of mine, Dr. Christos Suriano, to help us gain knowledge on past and current research and to discuss our own personal theories toward this discovery.

It’s absolutely wonderful when people research, read books, google methods and ask advice from friends and family. However, this can be a major hindrance towards success. If none of these avenues have satisfied your issues, and you reach out to a professional in the field. Please reserve your wealth of knowledge and open you mind to a different theory. Most techniques and methods have similarities on the surface but achieve different outcomes due to variations in application. Every dog is different, every environment is different, and every person is different. With understanding and dedication, you can reach the stars.
