Deborah gives you your fix of world pet news and some monster-coyote information. A letter from the Vet to those clients who just don’t respect clinic etiquette and the rest of us who appreciate the show. Do pets like Britney or Bach? Pet jokes, and comment on the latest attempts to slander and ban pit bulls. Lisa Peterson joins Deborah to talk about the AKC and how its changed in the 125 years to what it is today. She gives fire safety tips, and explains microchipping plus she takes us through some of the most fun dog events that are now open to mutts and non-breeding ‘fixed’ dogs too. Ever want to let your dog run a race, or show off his listening skills? Check out www.akc.org for more info on that and every thing a dog owner could want to find from what toys are toxic to what dog to pick. Lisa logs in on the breed ban issue and explains how the Canine Good Citizen test and standard is part of the solution. Even if you have a breed that in banned by insurance, you may get your particular dog exempt if he passes this test which is approved in 40 states and can act as that ‘benefit of the doubt’ for your dog should something go wrong. Deborah explains it’s a fun and easy way to structure your training so you teach your dog to be able to handle all life can throw at him from objects dropping nearby when he’s tied up to strangers passing close and fast. Look for training programs that offer the CGC program and you’ll have a dog you can take to the off leash park and walk politely on busy streets or tie up outside starbucks for that well deserved latte and people watching break. Social dogs like crowd watching (sniffing) too!
