Training Your Service Dog

Barbara Phillips used to train service dogs for an organization. When she recognized the enormous gap between time spent training the service dogs, and training the actual owners who will be ultimately living with these service animals she created

Key Stone Handler Academy. 

She now teaches people how to train their own service dog.

On this episode we talked about rules and regulations, and differences about Service Dogs, and Emotional Support Animals and why and how can someone train their own service dog.

Keystone Handler Academy can be reached here:

If you asked 1000 dogs

if they think they need “dog training” or not 

what do you think they would say ?

I bet they wouldn’t even understand the question.

Training??? For what????  To be a dog ????

On this episode I want to bring to your attention  before you start barking orders to your dog, if you get your head in the right place then, your life with your  becomes a rewarding bounding experience for both you and your dog.

Stop having a confrontational battle where you human always have to win, but become “the trusted guide” for your dog to follow.

Doesn’t that sound much better to you?

Enjoy the episode.

Acupuncture has been healing people and animals for thousands of years. 

On this episode we interviewed an acupuncture expert.  Dr. Barbara Butchko of Meridian Mobile Vet from Charlotte,NC. 

Does acupuncture work? 

Should your dog get acupuncture treatment?

What types of issues can be resolved with acupuncture?

What to expect from acupuncture treatment?

and lots of other questions were answered.

Dr. Butchko graduated from the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. When she was exposed to veterinary acupuncture for the first time she realized the limitations of conventional veterinary medicine and the value of a more holistic approach.

She received her acupuncture certification (CVA) from The Chi Institute in 2013. She is also a certified veterinary food therapist (CVFT) and is working toward her certification in Chinese herbal medicine.

When Dr. Butchko is not making house calls, she is spending time with her husband and her adorable rescue dog, Madeleine. Dr. Butchko takes every opportunity to hike and backpack. Her other interests include meditation practice and vegan cooking.

Do you know what ingredients go into your dog’s food?

I begun reading my dog’s food labels right after recording this episode with Kathleen Langley of Paw Tree.

On this episode Kathleen shares  little tricks dog food industry pulls that most of us are unaware of. 

Using just one word on packaging allows them legally reduce what looks like the main ingredient into just 3% of the ingredients.

For the last a few years we make our dogs’ food at home.  

If you’re thinking about making your dog’s food at home or just curious about why/how to make your dog’s food at home look no further than today’s guest Dr. Jessica Fusch. Founder of Key Veterinary Care in Florida.

I met Dr. Fusch online when she was a guest speaker on the subject of dog nutrition and how to start making your dog’s food at home. So I invited her to share her knowledge with us here.

Not only does she offer mobile vet care, she is also a podcaster and a host of her own YouTube Channel.

We’re concluding How to find the best dog trainer series with K-9 Mentalist Ryan Matthews. I met Ryan while I was attending the first school to become a dog trainer. We quickly became great friends, and in time we became “brothers from other parents.”  

We wanted to concluded the series with Ryan, because of our close relationship and how often we talk about dog training, I thought this would be the richest (with insider info) episode.
