Sniffing Out a Great Spot to Have Fun with Your Dog

Thursday, August 18, 2022 • Duration 54:27

If you have a reactive dog, live in an apartment, don’t necessarily care for dog parks, or simply want a new place that’s safe for your dog to run, sniff and explore – we’ve got a GREAT episode for you! Put this in the category of things we wish we had created. In this episode of the pawdcast, Karen is joined by her friend Karen Krieg for a conversation with the founder of Sniffspot https://www.sniffspot.com/

It was actually David Adams’ wife that came up with the idea for Sniffspot, an app and website that allows dog owners to rent private property where dogs can play and well, sniff. Sniffspot also allows property owners to earn some extra cash by renting out their yards. With sites all over the US and the world, Sniffspot is filling a void and bank accounts of dog lovers. David and his team focus as much on the experience of the Sniffspot host as they do the Sniffspot guest.

Karen Krieg, this episode’s co-host, is a Sniffspot Top Host, her Acres of Fun spot in Mount Airy, Maryland, has earned not only top marks from 400 guests, but high praise from David. With 2 acres of fenced in grassy property, water, toys and agility equipment, Karen’s property is great for one dog, or a group of dogs out on a play date - https://www.sniffspot.com/listings/mount-airy-md/acres-of-fun-5113

Dogs Enrich Our Lives, Let’s Enrich Theirs

Friday, July 22, 2022 • Duration 57:44

In this episode of the pawdcast, Karen and Jean chat with Stefanie Strackbein who specializes in canine enrichment. Enrichment isn’t formal obedience or even organized sports. Enrichment refers to an easy activity or game to help dogs reduce stress, exercise their brains, and have a sense of control over their environment. Examples of these games include tossing kibble on the lawn and inviting your dog to “find it” or folding up kibble or a high value treat in a towel and letting your dog figure out how to unfold the towel to find the treat – SUPER SIMPLE things, but FUN and enriching for your dog!

Stefanie contends that if more dog owners engaged in daily enrichment activities with their dogs, we’d see fewer behavioral issues and fewer dogs in shelters. Stefanie also believes that simple enrichment exercises that can be done in the home, in the yard or on a walk, will help dogs AND owners be happier!

Stefanie is the founder and owner of the What Dogs Want Academy in Phoenix, AZ https://wdwacademy.dog/ You can follow her daily enrichment suggestions on Instagram @whatdogswant. She also presented a webinar for Your Dog’s Friend, a not for profit in Rockville, Maryland that supports positive training and programs for dogs and their owners – it’s a tremendous resource https://yourdogsfriend.org/ Stefanie’s webinar can be found here --https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWjdCWm8pXk

Have Dog – GO TRAVEL!

Thursday, June 23, 2022 • Duration 48:18

What’s better than a vacation? A vacation with your DOG! In this episode of the pawdcast, Karen is joined by her friend Christine (a fellow Aussie owner) with a special interest in dog-friendly vacations.

According to tripswithpets.com, 78 percent of Americans who have pets, travel with them. Sara Sokol, founder of Dogs Welcome, is working to make it easier for dogs and owners to find welcoming accommodations.

Sara, a dog lover from Bath, Maine, created Dogs Welcome as a Facebook Group to connect travelers with owners of pet friendly vacation rentals, small inns and bed and breakfasts. Within three months, the response was so positive, Sara is now launching the Dogs Welcome website. Similar to other vacation rental sites, the filters are more dog/pet focused, for instance does the property have a fenced in yard. The Dogs Welcome website will allow travelers to book directly with the properties – without additional fees for hosts or travelers. Sara is also developing a Dogs Welcome Certified Property seal of approval, making it even easier to create your perfect dog-friendly vacation.

The Dogs Welcome Facebook Group and website currently feature properties in the US and Canada. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1043741576357003/ www.dogs-welcome.net

Christine and her husband JUST finished building a vacation rental outside of Luray, Virginia specifically for dogs. Mountain View Retreat boasts dog friendly furnishings, a dog washing station and soon a fenced in yard. You can learn more about the property by contacting her at christine@christinesennott.com.

And of course, Sara has a great vacation rental https://www.littlewhitedogproperties.com/ that inspired Dogs Welcome. When Sara isn’t revolutionizing travel with dogs, she’s a trainer, practicing positive reinforcement techniques. Mr. Dog Training was recently voted BEST trainer in Maine. http://mrdogtraining.com/index.html PawsUP!

Dog Parks, Paws UP? Or Paws DOWN?

Thursday, May 5, 2022 • Duration 41:19

Dog Parks. If you live in an urban area they are often a lifeline for owners eager to let their dogs run, play, and burn off a little steam. But dog parks also spark vitriol from owners, especially those who have had a dog injured (or attacked) while visiting one.

Not surprising, a successful dog park experience depends as much on the human as it does the dog. And keep in mind, dog parks aren’t a fit for every dog.

In this episode of the pawdcast, Karen’s friend Elizabeth joins as a co-host, while Jean is traveling. Elizabeth is a resident of Washington, DC and has learned to navigate her local dog park with her Aussie mix Roxie. Together, Karen and Elizabeth chat with Sandy Modell about the dos and don’ts of dog parks. A favorite guest on the pawdcast, Sandy is a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) Board of Directors and founder of Wholistic Hound Academy in Alexandria Virginia. APDT has great resources for owners, including this one on dog parks https://apdt.com/resource-center/dog-parks-good-bad-ugly/

Working with a Rescue and Finding the One That’s Right for You

Thursday, April 14, 2022 • Duration 47:58

This episode of the PawsGo pawdcast is dedicated to Karen’s sister, Wendy and her newly adopted dog, Dennis.

Late last year, Wendy lost her beloved dog Akira after 14 years together. Wendy originally found Arkia on Craig’s List, a family was moving and looking to rehome her. Wendy had never worked with a rescue before and found the process very frustrating. Dogs that she saw on Facebook or websites never seemed to be available. Her application was denied by multiple rescues because she didn’t have a fenced in yard. And Wendy discovered several scams where unscrupulous breeders posed as rescues.

Wendy eventually found 4pawz.org, a Virginia-based rescue that worked with her to find the perfect dog – sweet little Dennis (formerly known as Prince). Wendy, 4Pawz and Dennis were the perfect fit.

Wendy’s frustrations aren’t unique. So how can an adopter successfully work with a rescue? Well, setting expectations and finding the right rescue will make things easier.

To discuss the HOW and WHY of rescues, Karen and Jean are joined by Lindsey Paisley, Executive Director of Beagles and Bentleys Rescue (www.beaglesandbentleys.org ); Sonja Gladwin, Volunteer and Foster Coordinator for Operation Paws for Homes (www.ophrescue.org); and Paula Biancone, Adoption Coordinator for Speak for the Unspoken (www.speakfortheunspoken.com ).

Dog Owners Speak, the Dog Aging Project Begins Focused Research on Cognitive Canine Decline

Thursday, March 31, 2022 • Duration 45:19

Dr. Amanda Tinkle, project manager of the Dog Aging Project, is back to share some exciting updates about this massive canine health study design to help unlock the key to increasing the “healthspan” of our dogs. Based on notes and feedback from “citizen scientists” who have enrolled their dogs in the program, Dr. Tinkle and her colleagues noticed comments and concerns about cognitive canine decline. She chats with Karen and Jean (both owners of senior dogs) about the project’s new area of focus specifically on senior dogs,

Ironically, the Dog Aging Project didn’t set out to specially focus on senior dogs, rather its goal is to study how dogs age. To date, thousands of dog-lovers have turned into citizen-scientists to record and share information about their dogs’ lifestyle, habits, nutrition, general health and behavior. As Dr Tinkle and her colleagues continue pouring through information shared by dog owners, other areas of focus will emerge.

Dr. Tinkle and her colleagues still are actively enrolling dogs of all ages, from all across the United States, including purebred and mixed breed dogs, to join the Dog Aging Project. They are especially interested in large breed, active dogs (agility, working dogs, etc.) and dogs from the mid-west and south-east. Poppy is very proud to be dog number 31, 934 in the program. Join this important effort and nominate your dog at dogagingproject.org
