Packfit Dog Training with Kimberly Artley
In this episode, we'll talk with Kimberly Artley, author of "My Dog, My Buddha," and founder Packfit Dog Training. Kimberly's background of nutrition, human psychology and behavior, and life coaching paired with canine psychology, behavior and training blends seamlessly together to offer the most effective approach and results for a wide spectrum of canine challenges. A lifelong "animal lover", it was her trials, challenges and experiences with her own dogs and those in rescue efforts that initiated a shift in her mindset. "Loving" animals is one thing; but understanding, honoring and respecting them as members of an entirely different species is another. Author: My Dog, My Buddha: To Human. Love, Dog.

Bird Dog Training
Tom Aaron is the co-owner of FetchMasters [http://fetchmasters.com/] as well as the co-creator of the Positive Gun Training Program [http://www.positivegundogtraining.com/], a program for dogs focused on high-development obedience, off-leash reliability, and bird dog hunting. Ton, as well as his wife and business partner Linda, is a certified trainer by the Certification Council for Professional Dogs organization and focuses his training techniques around using positive reinforcement strategies. Tom joins us today to share his background as a bird dog trainer and how he discovered that positive reinforcement techniques often work well for many working dogs. He explains how he discovered the positive training techniques he uses today, how he manages to train over 1,000 per year, and the type of dog breeds he typically works with. He also explains the difference between forced-fetch training and positive training, the impact that your relationship with your dog can have on his training and hunting performance, and the various methods he has found help speed up a gun dog's training process. "The essence of positive training is not treats. It's not praise. It's not play. It's asking yourself: 'what does that dog want right now, in this moment?'" - Tom Aaron This week on Dogs in the News: * How Tom's interest in training bird dogs developed. * How he discovered the positive training techniques he uses today. * How he manages to train over 1,000 pet and hunting dogs per year and the type of breeds he typically trains. * How a dog's drive and motivation translates to their hunting performance. * The difference between forced-fetch training and positive training. * Why Tom doesn't recommend dog owners to use e-collars to 'proof your dog's training' and what he recommends instead. * The true essence of positive dog training. * How public views of positive dog training has evolved over the years. * How he evaluates hunting dogs and the natural advantages of a well-bred hunting dog. * What are 'hunt tests' and 'field trials' and the various activities involved in hunt tests. * Techniques he has found help speed up the gun dog training process.

Canine Genetic Research
Dr. Susannah Sample completed her Small Animal Surgical Residency at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2014 and is now working at the Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (CORL) as a principal investigator. Her primary research revolves around the genomics and neuropathology of canine laryngeal paralysis but also deals with the CORL's other genetic research undertakings. In addition, she also shares her expertise with veterinary students, surgery residents, graduate students, and research fellows in the fields of small animal general surgery and surgical science. She has received recognition for her work, including the National Institute of Health's K01 career development award. Dr. Sample joins us today to discuss her work at the Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (CORL). She shares why it's important to study genetics and diseases in dogs, particularly with regard to how this information can help us in treating human diseases. She discusses the different disease trends and patterns across different breeds and highlights the deeper issue of the lack of regulations and guidelines in dog genetics testing. She also discusses the problems that come with genetic tests, specifically tackling the misinterpretation of results and the knowledge gap between experts and the public as well as shares her insights on why we need specialization in veterinary medicine.
