Training A Dog To Not Jump Or Use Stairs

Training A Dog To Not Jump Or Use Stairs

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.
