There are dangers all around us and its good to be aware of them. Sometimes the most dangerous things hide in plain sight. In this episode I share my personal encounter with the Foxtail plant. 

 The barbed seed heads of the Foxtail plant can work their way into any part of your dog, the nose, between the toes, inside the ears, eyes, and mouth. ...  The danger of Foxtail goes beyond simple irritation as it could embed and cause major infections, even blindness and deafness.

The Bracco Italiano has been called the oldest European pointer, and its history reaches back as far as the fourth or fifth century BC.

The Bracco, that’s B R A C C O, for all that have not heard of this breed, is a 55-88 pound hound looking pointer. If you haven’t heard of the breed you should definitely look it up online. Bracco’s make wonderful companions but require a lot of mental and physical stimulation. This breed is born to work the hunting fields. Their predatory drive is very high and they typically shine in the field. However, they require a bit of finesse with training. Traditional hunting methods tend to suppress the Bracco’s natural instincts.

This Episode of The Pack Animal Podcast I give a short story to support the trained hunting Bracco’s ability in the field with a scary test of nature!

We always hear the terms dominant and submissive being loosely used when describing our dogs behavior or to describe the method of training being applied. Understanding the natural balance of these two very important behaviors is incredibly important. Often the word dominant construes as aggressive and submissive construes as fearful. These are very different behaviors and are often confused. Healthy levels of aggression and fear are also natural behaviors of communication. However, forward aggression in many instances (NOT ALL) is a product of fear. Fear meaning lack of structure or communication both internal (within the pack), and external (the expectation of the stranger). Have a listen to episode 05 of The Pack Animal Podcast where we scratch the surface on a controversial topic.
