  • STSE 36: Bring on the Sports!
    Jun 27 2024
    This week we are introducing our upcoming series on dog sports. We'll have a variety of guests from newer competitors to seasoned competitors, in a variety of dog sports. Heather obviously loves dog sports, while Kristi loves training for sports, but never competes. So even if you never plan to compete with your dog, we believe this series will be useful in giving you structured enrichment ideas for your dog. If you have ever wondered about how to get started in dog sports or been curious about a sport that you are not currently competing in, this series is perfect for you. We will be giving an overview of a variety of sports as well as going over resources to get started in them. This series is ideal for anyone looking to enrich the life of their dog regardless of if you live with a rescue or purebred. We hope you'll join us as we dive into the wide world of dog sports.

  • STSE Episode 35: Living with a Guide Dog
    Jun 13 2024
    In this episode we have an in depth conversation with special guests Cindy and Khrisann about their life with a seeing eye dog. Cindy is legally blind and June is her current seeing eye dog. CIndy gives us the inside scoop on guide dogs including the process of getting one, going to school to be matched with your dog, retiring a guide dog, and what happens when a dog is not a good fit. Cindy also shares how things like the pandemic and the rise of eclectic cars can and has affected training. Khrisann shares her unique perspective of living with a guide dog as a seeing person. They also share how fake service dogs have impacted the service and guide dog community at large and their own detrimental experiences with fake service dogs. Even though we have known these two for years we learned so much in this interview, and we think you'll find the interview equally informative, thought provoking and entertaining.

  • STSE Episode 34: Social Media and Shelter Dogs
    May 30 2024

    This week we are taking a post directly off social media and discussing it in detail. This post stated that "shelter dogs are not normal" and that they "may never be normal." We both feel that this statement is incredibly damaging to shelter dogs everywhere as well as rescue dogs. We work our way though some subtext that implies shelter dogs are not safe which we also disagree with as a generalization. Many of the comments on the post were blaming adopters and/or the public in general, which can be equally damaging to the adoption of shelter dogs. Coming from a background that celebrates and respects adopters we found this trend to be concerning and wanted to discuss the long term damage some of these flippant remarks can have. We believe there are lots of "normal" and safe dogs available for adoption, and we believe there are lots of amazing adopters. We hope that this episode makes you stop and think about how you talk about rescue dogs as well as adopters on social media so we can continue spreading the word about how great rescue dogs can truly be.
