In this episode, Annie answers questions about attending the Karen Pryor Academy. She suggests how you can deal with someone who seems to be needlessly yelling at their dog. A listener asks about Temple Grandin's use of e-collars and prey drive, and also asks about training using the beeping and vibrating function of a shock collar. Also: Can you train a dog to not pee near a water source? And can you pay the neighbor's kid to train your dog?

Annie:

Hey everyone. This is a bonus Q and A episode. I try and answer questions live every Thursday. You can sign up to come to my free live Q and A at schoolforthedogs.com/qanda, you will see the next one I'm doing. I then am trying to take recordings of those Q and A's and post them here to the podcast feed. If you have a question, you can email me directly Annie@schoolforthedogs.com. You can also go to anchor.fm/dogs and record your question there. Thanks for being here.

Hello. Can you hear me? If you're here, please tell me if you can hear me this. Can you hear me? And hello, Kathy. Hello, Yolanda, Kathy. Where are you joining us from? Oh, great. You can hear me. Yolanda sent me thank you so much for the super sweet email you sent me Yolanta. Actually it was so sweet. Could I read it? Would you mind if I read it? Let me know.

And I should tell you Yolanta. I just heard from -- so I took Amos, my dog to Blue Pearl yesterday, an animal hospital in New York City. And they did a needle biopsy of this mass that he has on his liver and it came out that it doesn't look like it's cancer. So, I mean I figured the chances of it not being cancer were like tiny. I was really not prepared for that good news. So I'm thrilled.

I mean, they said his heart’s a little big, like he clearly is an old dog with the beginnings of some issues. But it’s possible he just had this really big mass on his liver for a long time. So overall just feeling quite glad about that. And my computer, which I spilled water on this time last week is working. I don’t want to jinx life, but the two terrible things that happened last Thursday are now a lot less terrible than they were. And I spent a lot of time over the last week, just like mourning him, even though he’s not gone yet. Just really had a lot of emotions, thoughts, feelings about life, death, time, et cetera. I’ve been a little emotional.

And I am having a doctor who does acupuncture and like Chinese herbs stuff come, actually later today, see if maybe we can get his appetite going. And yeah, I feel also just so grateful to my two friends who are vets who have just gone above and beyond to help me through this scary week. Dr. Andrea Tu who’s with Behavior Vets, they used to rent space from us. They used to operate kind of outside of our studio for a long time. There are very few behavior vets in the country and she is, she and Dr. Christiansen are just such spectacular people.
