The Fox Red Labrador Retriever

The Fox Red Labrador Retriever

This episode we have on, professional trainer, breeder and owner of Kyle’s puppy finishing school, Kyle Chaharyn to discuss his life long passion and dedication to Fox Red Labrador Retriever.

Early history shows that the Labrador Retriever, which was originally a black dog with white coloration, had been selectively breed over time to create the three solid color variations we have come to know today as the black, yellow and chocolate Labrador. However, the rarely seen color of the Fox Red variation has a deeper history many don’t know about.

Remote Trainers Part 2

Remote Trainers Part 2

Of course, with every device I always say you don’t NEED them but they certainly can come in handy in an emergency and they certainly can make the specific processes of training easier.

Many people have their various collar conditioning methods, I’m sure you can do a quick search on the internet and find that there are literally thousands of results. and all of them are not unique in any way. They can absolutely be lumped in categories and always follow the same methods of pressure to do what is asked.

We had an overwhelming positive response to my previous episode, Stimulation Collars with guest Steve Snell, owner of Gun Dog Supply. However, there were a few concerns from listeners that simply need more clarification.

It's Q&A Time, December, 2021

It's Q&A Time, December, 2021

I really wanted to dedicate this episode to answering some questions from my listeners. I posted on the social media platforms asking if anyone had any questions or concerns that they would like me to address on this episode and the response was overwhelming.

I selected a few questions that I would like to address on todays episode. However, if you are listening and I didn’t have a chance to address your question today, please rest assure that I have reserved your messages and will be addressing your questions on a future episode. So stay tuned.

With that said, many of the questions and concerns that I received had a commonality. This is actually something you will hear me say every time. Even though every situation I read was unique in their own way, they seemed to fall into the category of confusion, on both sides (human and dog)

A Deeper Level of Understanding Your Dog

A Deeper Level of Understanding Your Dog

I know in my very first episode I talk about what anthropomorphism is but with many recent questions arising after the release of my new book, Through the Eyes of a Canine, I decided that this episode should dive deeper into the psychology of this topic and discuss how anthropomorphism has it’s advantages and disadvantages.

Dog Law in Norway

Dog Law in Norway

This episode strikes me deep in the soul. Featuring special guest, Artist, dog lover and dog life advocate Lise Ellingsen. We discuss the current state of Norway’s dog laws and the actions that are in progress to change them for the better. Norway holds a very personal meaning to me as my blood linage runs deep and distant. My family and I still to this day hold true to our traditions and celebrate our Norwegian culture. However, something was brought to my attention recently about how the dog laws have evolved in this beautiful country.

Micromanagement Structure

Micromanagement Structure

Micromanaging your dog throughout the day is not only completely natural but absolutely necessary for your dogs understanding of structure. Implementing these practices can provide you with moments of relief throughout your already hectic day, as well as, help settle any anxiety your dog may have.

The consistency of the day will help you to find more time to do the things you want or ‘have to do’ such as work, schooling, or recreational activities with the family.

Country Music Artist Allison Asarch

Country Music Artist Allison Asarch

This episode I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with, up and coming Country Music Artist Allison Asarch. Growing up in Houston, Texas, Allison discovered her love for music at a young age. As a child, she would perform at her grandparents’ annual Christmas talent show, but it wasn’t until she reached 4th grade that she knew she wanted to make a career out it.

In 2018, Allison moved to Nashville, Tennessee to start chasing her dreams. When the Coronavirus pandemic hit in early 2020, she seized the opportunity to start recording and releasing her own music.

In September 2020, she released her first single called Taylor Made. That same month, she appeared on the Netflix Original show “Sing On!” where she took first place and won over $42,000. She followed up with her second single, The One, in November and released Sippin’ on Somethin’ in February of 2021. Her latest singles, Summer Style, Cotton Dress and Neon Nobody are now available on all streaming platforms.

Be sure to look out for her NEW SINGLE, this Friday, November 19th, 2021, called, ‘Want Me Like You Want To’

Through the Eyes of a Canine, the book

Through the Eyes of a Canine, the book

The human-canine story is the greatest love story that has ever existed. But too often we look at things only from our own perspective and impose unrealistic expectations on our canine companions. In Through the Eyes of a Canine, animal behavior specialist David J Kurlander takes us on a journey through history, science, biology, animal behavior, quantum theory, and personal development to illustrate exactly how we can shift our way of seeing things and learn to perceive the world as they do.

Based on decades of work with more than 150,000 dogs and years observing wild canines, Kurlander offers real-world examples, practical suggestions, and exercises you can implement immediately. As you open your mind to this new way of relating to your furry family member, you will begin to recognize how developing a relationship of reciprocity and mutuality with the dogs in your life can create a harmonious pack, and even change the world.

This return episode introduces my new book, Through the Eyes of a Canine, and is why I have been so preoccupied for so many months. My focus was un-waivered to provide you, the reader, with the best of my research and experience.

I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Bringing Home Baby

Bringing Home Baby

Bringing home a new human addition to the pack can be very exciting and scary all at the same time. Especially if you have a dog in your pack that is a little resistant to newcomers, has a very high predatory inclination, or has a wildly hyper and intrusive yet friendly personality. In this episode, we discuss a few ways to ease this transition with new expectations and routines.

Zoonosis and Virus Behavior

Zoonosis and Virus Behavior

There is a lot of controversy, misleading information, and conflicting theories about how viruses such as COVID-19 affects our furry family members or if it can be carried and spread by them. This is a topic that comes up many times during my behavior consultations as well as listener emails and social media messages. In this episode, we will have an educated discussion with returning guest Dr. Christos Suriano, on how viruses behave and if our furry family members are safe and sound.

What Effects The Outcome Of Behavior

What Effects The Outcome Of Behavior

Canine psychology is vast, to say the least, and there are many different approaches one can take toward addressing issues. However, not all “bad” behavior is truly bad in the sense of deliberate intentions. It may simply be a misunderstanding due to confusion on both parts. Confusion equals insecurities.
