1323. "It's Me Or The Dog" - Dog Behaviorist Victoria Stilwell

Dog Behaviorist Victoria Stilwell is back and debating the two schools of dog training. Do you really have to be mean to your pup to get him to do what you want? There’s a change in the way we’re getting our dogs to behave. Also, shoppers may not be getting what they bargained for. Vendors at a market are trying to pass off bulked-up ferrets as toy poodles. The move has reportedly tricked several people into shelling out $150 for the rodents. Also, what do you do with a dog that’s afraid of everything from lawn sprinklers to rain showers? Alan Kabel explains the process of de-sensitizing your dog and re-training him to be a more confident animal. Also, Dr. Ron Hines used to answer medical questions on his website—that is, until the state of Texas shut him down. Now, he’s part of a lawsuit to restore his First Amendment rights. This litigation will set the tone for those who give advice, from Dr. Oz to Dr. Debbie. Also, Dogfather Joey Villani has five great reasons why you should bring your dog to the groomer regularly….even if your dog doesn’t need a haircut.
