PetLifeRadio.com - Teacher's Pet - Episode 74 Operation Baghdad Pups

In Iraq and Afghanistan, our US troops, are drawn to nearby animals as a means of loving companionship and a vital way to cope with the emotional struggle and psychological hardships of every day life in a havoc-filled war zone. The SPCA International’s Operation Baghdad Pups is a very special program that provides needed veterinary care and coordinates the logistics and transportation requirements for the sole purpose of reuniting these much loved pets with their eagerly awaiting service men and women back home in the US. Today we’ll talk from Iraq with the program’s manager Terri Crisp.

Teacher's Pet focuses on command training - and command training is as simple as (and as complicated as) communicating clearly with your dog. Dog's aren't born understanding what sit or come means. Every single thing your dog understands about a command - both the good and the not so good - he learned from a human, probably you! So, if your dog doesn’t obey as you would like, guess who has to change? You do - your dog can change but you have to change first. At Teacher’s Pet on Pet Life Radio, obedience training is something to do with your dog, not to your dog and it is fun for both ends of the leash so - give us a try!
