DogCast Radio Episode 80 - Listener's problem and Swapping Bones
For Brocolli
DogCast Radio - for everyone who loves dogs
We were contacted by a listener, Katarina Anthony, with a problem
with her three dogs. Her German Shepherd, Bismark is constantly
trying to be top dog, and Katarina is beginning to despair of her
dogs ever living in peace. For help with this difficult problem, I

We were contacted by a listener, Katarina Anthony, with a problem
with her three dogs. Her German Shepherd, Bismark is constantly
trying to be top dog, and Katarina is beginning to despair of her
dogs ever living in peace. For help with this difficult problem, I
turned to aggression specialist, Susie Aga. Susie always gives
great insights into canine thinking, and this interview is no
exception. She has advice for Katarina on establishing which of her
dogs is really the alpha dog. She also has tips on how to handle
life - particularly those flashpoints like dinner time - to ensure
the dogs avoid situations that set off competition between them.
Susie Aga is a Certified Canine Behavior & Training Specialist
who received her certification from Triple Crown Academy, a world
leader in pet education. She has 20 years experience with dogs and
is recommended by over 45 Veterinarians in the Metro Atlanta area.
Susie was chosen by Turner Broadcasting to be their featured 'Pet
Expert'. Susie is also the 'Pet Expert' for- Pet Doctor Online. She
is interviewed by veterinarians regarding many behavioral issues
and their solutions. The discussions are directed towards
behavioral problems such as separation anxiety, cage aggression and
other hard to define issues facing many owners and their dogs. The
shows are also archived for your convenience. She has six rescue
dogs of her own and donates much of her time and services to Rescue
Organizations. You can truly say her life has gone to the dogs and
that is just the way SHE WANTS IT! Did you know that many owners
are swapping bones for broccoli in their dog's diet? Many of us are
trying to improve our own diet at this time of year, so it makes
sense to overhaul what our dog is eating too. Do you give your dog
vegetables? Or vitamin supplements? We talk to Emma Holyer from
Liverpool Victoria about some research they carried out on canine
cuisine. Their results may not be quite what you expected. In the
DogCast Radio News, Princess Beatrice's dog Max went missing over
Christmas, her uncle Prince Edward has been investigated by the
RSPCA after allegations he hit his Labradors, and we hear about
puppies who made the journey from Atlanta to Florida to find new
homes. Our fiction feature is Be Careful What You Wish For. It's
written by Kate Coldham and read by Nick Coldham. It's a New Year,
and we have new opening music for DogCast Radio. Is it change for
the better or the worse? Let us know what you think. It's still the
same great mix of dog related interviews, news and more - so start
2009 as you mean to go on, and listen to DogCast Radio.

It's time for a Christmas episode again. In this episode we have an
interview with a woman who's doing her best to change the way we
talk and think about rescue dogs. Cynthia Miller shares her life
with two beautiful Maltese dogs, Lulu and Lolly, and she and the

It's time for a Christmas episode again. In this episode we have an
interview with a woman who's doing her best to change the way we
talk and think about rescue dogs. Cynthia Miller shares her life
with two beautiful Maltese dogs, Lulu and Lolly, and she and the
girls do a lot of work to raise money for dogs who really need
help. Cynthia (and husband Dean) wrote Rescue Dog Rock, which you
can see at Lulu and Lolly's website. The video that accompanies the
song may well make you think again about rescue dogs. Lulu and
Lolly have their own calendar which is helping raise money for
charity. They also have a blog, and their own unique career
ambitions. To have your preconceptions challenged, listen to
Cynthia - her enthusiasm is infectious. It may be Christmas but we
can't rustle up a Fairy Godmother. We can do the next best thing
though - that's the Furry Godmother, Dogs Today editor, Beverley
Cuddy. Beverley talks about a charity that's close to her heart -
Tailwaggers. The charity was once incredibly popular in the UK, but
has declined in recent years. Beverley is helping to ensure the
charity's future. It may not be a household name, and it may not
change the world - but Tailwaggers can and does change people's and
dogs' lives for the better. Beverley gives some heart-warming
examples of people who have turned to Tailwaggers and found
solutions to their problems. We have a special two minute fiction
feature - Christmas Shopping. Why buy things for a dog you haven't
got? And our quotes between items are a dog's rules for Christmas.
So listen online, or take us with you on your mp3, but one way or
another, enjoy a merry Christmas with DogCast Radio.

If you're looking for ways to save money as we all feel the bite of
the credit crunch, veterinarian Paula Terifaj has some great advice
on how you can spend less on your dog's medical treatment. In the
second part of her interview, Paula talks about what you should do
to prepare for a large vet bill. She also has tips if you are
already in debt, and she'll tell you if insurance is financially
viable. Paula also reveals the single most significant contribution
you can make to keeping your dog healthy - which of course means
paying out less at the vet's surgery. The documentary Pedigree Dogs
Exposed has caused turmoil in the dog world in the UK, with the
Kennel Club being accused of putting dogs' appearances ahead of
their health. What is the truth of the matter? Are Kennel Club
approved breeders the best guarantee of a healthy puppy? If a dog
isn't Kennel Club registered does that mean it's more likely to
live a long happy life? Should you look for a breeder who carries
out health tests? What about puppy farms or mills, and are back
yard breeders to be avoided? What's the difference between the top
kennels and a hobby breeder? If you're confused, let Kimberley
MacDonald make sense of it for you. Kimberley breeds healthy,
well-balanced Rottweilers and Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, and has
the information you need to know about buying a puppy, how to spot
a good breeder and how to recognise a bad one. How should you buy a
puppy - and just as importantly, how should you never buy a puppy?
In the DogCast Radio News, hear about the plight of Hubble, the dog
that the media dubbed Britain's ugliest dog. You can hear about the
dog who drove, the rarest litter in England, the dog who stood up
to a snake, and the Jack Russell who's looking for love. In Buddy's
Diary, Buddy's looking on the bright side of life - and how could
you do anything but that, as you listen to your favourite dog
podcast? And to make things even better, there's now a video
section on the DogCast Radio website. You'll find the video button
at the top of each page, next to the photo button, so go and check
out the videos already uploaded.

With the credit crunch making us all look for ways to economise, we
have timely money saving advice from Dr. Paula Terrifaj. Paula
talks about how you can spend less at the veterinarian's surgery
without compromising your dog's health. Who knows that better than
a veterinarian herself? Find out when to go to the veterinarian and
when to wait, where to buy medicines from, and how to find a great
value veterinarian. Is it really necessary to have an annual health
check? What treatment is essential, for example do our dogs really
need all those vaccinations? So to make sure you keep your dog
healthy without wasting money, take Paula's advice. When Stephen
Foster and his partner adopted rescue dog Ollie, it was the start
of a very difficult relationship for Stephen. Ollie had been found
living wild in Thetford Forest, and was according to Stephen, thin
but beautiful. It wasn't the immediate happy ending they had hoped
for though, as Ollie became frightened of Stephen, and it was a
long struggle to achieve harmony. The experience inspired Stephen
to write Walking Ollie, a book that dog owners will identify with
and understand. Told with humour, the story is honest and moving.
Later puppy Saluki Dylan joined the family, and another book was
inspired - Along Came Dylan. So did Stephen's persistence pay off?
Did Ollie eventually bond with the owner who loved him? Hear
Stephen answer these questions. In the DogCast Radio News, Kate and
Nick bring you the latest happenings in the dog world. Host Julie
talks about walking Buddy in the damp chill English autumn weather,
and the nature of happiness, in Walk the Walk.

The National Dog Show sponsored by Purina will be televised on
Thanksgiving Afternoon, and is fast becoming a holiday tradition.
Co-host David Frei tells us what viewers can expect to see. He also
talks about the behind the scenes work that goes into preparing a
show dog, and what the judges are looking for. David knows what he
is talking about as he has had great success in the show world with
his Afghan Hounds and Brittany Spaniels. He also knows how
rewarding having a qualified therapy dog is. If you don't know what
a bench show is, or what stacking is, David explains these terms,
plus he tells us what the new breed at this year's show will be. To
find out more about the National Dog Show, visit their website, and
for a really useful dog show glossary, visit the Purina site. Dogs
don't belong in pet shops, but if a new pet superstore has its way
it's something we'll be seeing a lot more of in the UK. Lady
Margaret Flack, together with the Kennel Club and Our Dogs, is
mounting a campaign to try to put an end to puppy farming, dog
smuggling, dog dealing and dogs being sold in pet shops. In this
interview, Lady Margaret talks about the awful conditions dogs are
kept in at puppy farms, and about the pet superstore that is an
outlet for many puppy farm dogs. Lady Margaret points out why dogs
bred by puppy farms are highly unlikely to be healthy or
temperamentally sound, and point out the right and wrong way to buy
a puppy. The campaign includes demonstrations at the superstore
selling many breeds of dog, and we'll bring you updates of its
progress. Kate and Gin rose to fame in the show Britain's Got
Talent, and are one of the most well known doggy dancing duos
around. Now Kate has written a book telling not only her and Gin's
story, but also offering advice on how you can train your dog like
she trains Gin. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is now recognised by
the UK Kennel Club. Host Julie talks to Kimberley MacDonald, the
woman who brought the Swissies to Britain, worked to have them
recognised by the Kennel Club, and is now setting up a breed club.
If you'd like to find out more or actually meet a Greater Swiss
Mountain dog, Kimberley and her dogs will be attending Discover
Dogs and Crufts. In a packed show, we also have the DogCast Radio
News, in which you can hear about dog guarding monkeys, Pekingese
dogs losing popularity, and how dogs have been surfboarding, making
use of GPS and eating chocolate muffins.
