Lisa delivers the Doggie Chronicles Tip of the Week with a warning about foxtails. A “foxtail” is a serious hazard for field dogs, or any dogs outside in the summer, are the hard seed-bearing structures of some kinds of grasses usually found only in states west of the Mississippi River. Their sharp pointy tips can get stuck into the fur, pads, ears, and even noses of your beloved canine. It’s important to check these places on your dog, if you are not able to remove them the best thing is to take your pet to your vet to have them taken out before an infection could occur.

Jean Owen, CEO and Owner/Director of Agility Programs, K9 Campus joins The Doggie Chronicles to talk about their competitive dog training school. They specialize in competitions but also offer a very popular dog day care program that includes basic training. Jean admits that in most cases they don’t train dogs but focus on training their people. She has been training dogs and horses for over 20 years and several of her canines have been featured on The Letterman Show, Animal Planet, Good Morning America and more.

Jean discusses tips on how to determine whether your dog is suited for competitive agility training. Even if early attempts for training do not produce immediate results, continued support can increase your dog’s confidence and over time they may surprise you. Jean shares her experiences with dogs who succeed because of the relationship it builds in allowing them to please their owners. K9 Campus also offers a “Doggie Boot Camp” which is designed for more difficult or aggressive pets that helps them better listen and become more disciplined in and around the home. Their courses include behavior and progress reports they share with the owners to get the best most personalized results.
