Pod to the Rescue

By Summit Dog Rescue

Our society has a mythologically-based approach to bringing companion pets into our homes, which can lead to all sorts of conflicts, and sadly, failed adoptions. This podcast is for dog rescues, fosters, adopters, and dog lovers desiring to smooth out the bumps of adoption and rescue. Hosts Emily and Libby provide evidence-based information on how to assimilate dogs into our human lifestyles in a way that is a positive experience for all species involved. Emily is a certified professional dog trainer; and between them Libby and Emily have over 2 decades rescuing dogs (and a few cats!).

Puppy Socialization with Eileen Anderson and Marge Rogers

Puppy Socialization with Eileen Anderson and Marge Rogers

Emily and Libby sit down with trainers and behavioral consultants Marge and Eileen about a much-anticipated topic: puppy socialization! Marge and Eileen talk about:

  • The first 12 weeks of a puppy’s life are the "critical window" for socialization 
  • What proper socialization is, and is not
  • Why exposure alone is not socialization 
  • Practical ways to help puppies form positive associations with the world around them
  • What flooding is and why it’s problematic
  • The dilemma of too much vs. too little exposure
  • How rescues and shelters can work with adolescent dogs who missed socialization

This is a wonderful conversation for anyone working with puppies on a regular basis or new adopters.

Your dog’s separation anxiety isn’t an unsolvable issue, even if it might feel that way sometimes. In this episode, Libby and Emily sit down with Jackie Johnston to talk all things separation.

Body Language 101 with Emily Tronetti

Body Language 101 with Emily Tronetti

We know you don't want your dog to be stressed. But do you know how to tell when your dog is stressed? Reducing your dog's stress levels can reduce their reactions of fear and anxiety, and one of the best ways to do that is to learn to read your dog's body language.

Emily Tronetti is an animal behavior expert who, in this conversation, gives you invaluable information about how to gauge and manage your dog's health via their body language. She has extensively studied Applied Animal Behavior, Anthro Zoology, and is currently pursing her doctorate at Antioch. (Oh, and she was an SDR Intern back in 2018. Aren't we lucky!)

In this episode, the two Emily's and Libby talk about the major dog signals to pay attention to, the ways we can miss our dog's signals, and integrating your dog's consent into the conversation around petting and hugging. This episode has invaluable information that can support your relationship to your dog.

Letting the Dog Lead with Trainer Chrissy Messick

Letting the Dog Lead with Trainer Chrissy Messick

Dogs are speaking to us all the time - just not in the way we’re often used to communicating. Are you listening to their subtle ways of communicating?

In this episode, Emily and Libby sit down with Chrissy to talk all things training. Chrissy is a dog trainer, and recent rescuer from Summit Dog Rescue. She recently rescued a 3-year old friend named Ginger - she talks about her journey with Ginger, how to let the dog lead their process of adapting to the new family, and the myriad of ways dogs communicate. They talk a lot about how to facilitate the relationship between a new dog and children - how to explain body language and teach your child how to understand that language as well.

You’ll want to listen to this episode if you’re worried about the transition from pandemic home-life to social life, and the ways that might impact your dog. This episode will be helpful for anyone adjusting to a new adoption!
