This week, Jess and Scott welcome Kari Lavalli to discuss all things PWD. Kari breeds, trains, and adores this breed and shares her extensive knowledge with this entire episode, especially as we take a deep dive into water sports. 

Why is a PWD not suited for every home?

What is the history behind how fishermen used PWD in a practical sense?

Where can you find more info about getting into water sports even if you own another breed besides a PWD?

This week, Jess and Scott discuss boundaries. As time marches on, dog owners seem more and more hesitant to implement boundaries into their dog’s life, which in turn can lead to destructive behavior, increased anxiety, and greater stress for all family members.

What are some simple boundaries one can introduce into life with a dog?

How can introducing boundaries into the relationship with your dog help you in other aspects of your life?

This week, Jess and Scott are joined by Jess Ajoux and Perry DeWitt. Not only did Jess win the AKC Nationals with her Border Collie Hallelujah within a year of her pandemic litter, but Perry also won Westminster for the second time with her very special boy Verb. Verb happens to be Lu’s father, so ‘2021 Dog of the Year’ quickly evolved into “Dogs of the Year.”

How have Jess and Perry’s lives looked the last few years?

What is it like doing dogs and life and business 24-7?

Why should we be more concerned about dog training in dog sports than physical ability?

This week, Jess and Scott discuss the reality of life with your dog as things stand today. As we prepare to enter 2024, now is a perfect time to take a mental inventory of what you have, what you want, and what you might be able to ignore as it relates to your dog’s behavior. 

What behaviors are you working around that you would like to improve?

Why does intervening not only show respect to your dog but also self-respect to you as an individual?

Are there also other areas of your life where you’re also settling for less?
