Sit, Stay, Survive: Dog Training with animal behaviorist Sunny Gurule

Pam’s guest this week is Sonny Gurule, an animal behaviorist and founder of Clever Canine Academy, who’s gone from training dolphins in Singapore to pampered Miami pups — including Pam’s very own furry madman, Luigi.The two share a hilarious, eye-opening chat about how dolphins inspired Sonny’s approach to dog training, why crate training isn’t cruel, and how most dog problems are actually people problems.Pam also reveals her completely unqualified approach to picking pets (“I choose them like I choose men — he’s cute, let’s go home”) and reads from her Huffington Post essay Living With a Con Artist, about her hyperactive Havanese who once wore her underwear as a necklace and ate her weed.Together, they break down everything you shouldn’t do when getting a dog (basically, everything Pam did) — and what to do instead.@[email protected]
