Summary

Hound Opinions is back, baby! That's right! The holiday hiatus is over and we're diving back into it by talking once again about fostering. Since Thanksgiving, my spouse and I have fostered a couple dogs. That's part of why we got a house, after all. The first experience was not so great and I'll get into why in the episode. The second was pretty great. I wanted to talk about both of those experiences because they’re so different and they represent the real gamut of what fostering is like. It’s a tough experience and the fact that I’m a professional dog trainer who works with tough dogs every day doesn’t make me immune from having a tough time with a foster dog. So sit back, relax and strap it down, because it's going to be a little emotional. DON'T FORGET: I want to answer YOUR training and behavior questions on the pod. And I want to play your lovely voices asking those questions. You've got two options: Use your audio recording app of choice to record yourself asking a training or behavior question and email it to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. I will then play it on the pod and answer it. You can actually jump on a recording session with me and we'll go over your question together. That'll let me ask you follow-up questions and really dig deep into the issue. If that's the route you want to go, shoot me a quick email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Big Wags Chicago is online at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.bigwagschicago.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. You can also find Big Wags on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlueSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ under the handle @bigwagschicago. Have a question you want answered in a future episode or just want to say hi? Email ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    Rebroadcast of Episode 1 - Flying with your dog

    Release Date: 01/20/2022

    Description: Hound Opinions is taking a quick break this week, but Bill will be back next week (January 27) with a new episode. In the meantime, enjoy this rebroadcast of the inaugural episode of Hound Opinions! Flying with a dog can add a whole new set of complications to what is already often a stressful experience. But what if you want or need to travel with your dog? What's that like? How do you prepare your dog for it? How do you make the experience as easy as possible for yourself and your pup? In the inaugural episode of Hound Opinions, I chat with Jenna Galowich (@jengalowich on Instagram) about her experience traveling internationally with her rescue dog, Charlie (@americandoginparis). Because Jenna splits her time between France and the United States, Charlie quickly became an international travel pro. Big Wags Chicago is on the web at www.bigwagschicago.com.

    Description: Hound Opinions is taking a break this week. Enjoy this rebroadcast of the episode from Nov. 25, 2021 featuring listener questions. By the way, Bill's planning another episode like this, but he needs questions. Email 'em to [email protected]. On this edition of Hound Opinions, Bill takes a few questions from listeners. He talks about how to help your dog deal with loud noises like thunder. He also gets a little heavy (trigger warning: pet death) when he addresses a question about how to know you're ready to adopt another dog after your dog passes away.
