Training A Dog To Not Jump Or Use Stairs

January 28, 2012

Summer, a German short-haired pointer, barks for attention when her owner is on the phone. A listener wonders why his cat puts his left front paw in his water dish while drinking. Teddy the Cockapoo can’t jump or use the stairs after a disc surgery. His owner asks how she can train him to keep all four paws on the ground now that he’s feeling better. After that, it’s Animal House News with Karen Munson, who discusses how rising carbon dioxide emissions may be affecting the central nervous systems of fish.

Fred the dog is too protective of his house, barking at mail trucks, visitors, even his family. Two kittens, Somerset and Caroline, play aggressively and their owners wonder how to set limits. A listener with a pit bull wonders whether sugar is bad for dogs. Dr. Gary discusses how to deal the loss of a pet and hospice care for animals. After that, it’s “The Loh Down on Science with Sandra Loh: Bacterial Brain Control.”

Music: Dr. Gary’s theme – “Coisa No.1” by Moacir Santos; “Wow” by Thomas Newman
