Biologica: Where Humans and Animals Meet1 Apr

Puppy Love - Raising happy and healthy dogs

Join Dr. Susan and Pippin the rescue Boston terrier puppy in this episode about raising puppies to be happy and healthy dogs. The episode includes a fascinating discussion with Amber Zawrotny, a shelter behavior and training manager. Explore what has changed in the thinking and research about best practices in raising puppies, and how to avoid behavior issues that are common in adult dogs. And remember those Pandemic Puppies? Find out what's happening (and challenging!) with them now.

Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland - Meet the Trainers https://arlgp.org/meet-the-trainers/

Iconic article about a Pandemic Puppies Cohort and the problem behaviors noted when they became adults: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/14/2/336

A donation was made to the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (and in honor of all of the other shelter and rescue organizations) in thanks for all their work going above and beyond to help the Pandemic Puppies - and the lovable but sometimes challenging adult dogs they’ve grown into.

Note - Pippin was named Friendly when first adopted, and so you’ll hear him called that some in this episode (from before he was renamed).

Also- I just want to acknowledge: sometimes a dog can struggle with behavioral issues despite the humans in its life "doing everything right" - when that is the case, working with a trainer or behaviorist and your veterinarian are excellent options.
