In this episode, we discuss the importance of motivation in dog training. Motivation is the most important aspect when training any dog and, sadly, the most neglected. In the sports dog world, the importance of creating the right motivation is understood and used well, but it is ignored in many other areas of dog training.

If your dog swallowed something it shouldn’t have, it’s good to know some first aid measures. The article describes an emergency procedure. Only perform this procedure if instructed to do so by a veterinarian. I never used this method, but I was close once. In my particular case, I ended up performing a Heimlich-Maneuver on my dog instead, and it worked. I am certified in pet first aid by the Red Cross. I recommend it. It comes in handy after your dog swallowed something it shouldn’t have. It’s also great in other emergencies.

In this episode, we discuss if you should train your dog. This may seem like a silly question at first, but it’s actually not. If your dog has behavioral issues, yes, hire a trainer. If you have specific requirements for camping, off-leash hiking, wanting to participate in a dog sport, or joining a therapy dog team, you should hire a trainer. But what if your dog is a nice boy or girl, doesn’t have any issues, and just hangs out with you anyways? Sometimes training is optional and sometimes unnecessary. We’ll discuss it.

Rattlesnake vaccines don’t protect a dog from the poison of a rattlesnake. They slow down its distribution in the body. It can give you more time to get to a vet before it’s too late. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work as well as you would hope. A recent study tested the effectiveness of rattlesnake vaccines (CAT vaccines). The test included venoms from the Western Diamondback, Northern Pacific, and Southern Pacific Rattlesnake species. These are the most common rattlesnake species in Southern California.
