S3:E5 Decompression For Therapy Dogs With KONG.
Welcome back to the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast, you're in for a treat because we have a very cool conversation lined up today with Brittany Muscat from KONG Australia! We're going to be discussing the importance of decompression and enrichment for our therapy dogs and how the KONG Company product range can assist with those activities, whilst also encouraging our dogs to express their natural behaviours in a safe way. These tips and tricks are going to be game-changers for the longevity of our Therapy Dog handlers and Therapy Dogs careers.
Brittany Muscat – Australian KONG Company Trainer and Veterinary BDM As a nationally certified dog trainer, a qualified Fear Free Professional, animal nutritionist and canine athlete specialist, Brittany brings over 8 years of comprehensive experience to the KONG Educational Team. Her passion lies in tapping into a dog’s instinctual, hardwired behaviours utilising KONG toys and educating pet parents and pet professionals how to do the same. Brittany’s primary goal is for all pet parents to have the skills to be able to biologically fulfil their pet using KONG, ensuring they live their ‘best life’ daily.

S3:E3 Tips When Bringing Home A Puppy.
Welcome to another episode on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast! Sam's Anatolian Shepherd puppy has arrived! She is raising Kiki to be a Livestock Guardian dog for her goats (hopefully!) and it's been an absolutely crazy first week.
There's a lot of overlap and common considerations when raising a puppy, regardless of what future you intend for them - but especially when you have bought the dog for a working role (whatever that might be).
We will talk about the pressures of trying to raise a working dog that has a (hopefully) specific purpose - how to choose which advice to follow - and how to rise above the stress so that you can enjoy your puppy, because this amazing time really does slip by way too fast!.
Let's get in to it!

S3:E1 What are we looking for in a Therapy Dog & Handler? Your Pre-Course Consult Questions Answered!
Welcome back to Season 3 of the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast.
Sam and Max are offering this podcast as a free resource for those who think they may need a Pre-Course Consultation before committing financially to studying with us. Typically, these consults are booked for a 1:1 setting, which is an expense to the client. We have a booking form that has questions designed to screen for whether or not a client should invest their money in a Therapy Dog Pre Course Consult - as some dog/handler teams have clear issues that need to be addressed before they consider Therapy Dog training - while some appear to have no concerns at all, therefore not needing an individual consult.
This podcast will walk you through exactly what we are looking for in a dog & handler team, and which observations that we make of the team are a definite 'no' versus a definite 'yes'. This includes information on what some of the expectations of a Therapy Dog team might be during their day to day working role.
This episode will also be really handy for Therapy Dog Trainers who are developing their knowledge in the Therapy Dog industry.
To anyone who we saved a consult fee - let's just say, you're welcome ;)
Enjoy!

S2:E16 Can I take my puppy to work or not?!
There is so much conflicting advice out there about this question. You know why? Because the answer is it depends!
Depends on what? Sam has finally broken the entire decision making process down in to a million pieces to help puppy owners to decide whether or not it is the right decision for them to take their dog in to their workplace or various other environments. By the end of this episode, you should be able to make this decision for yourself. If you are still unsure - then it's probably 'no'.
This episode has some really important socialisation information in it, considered alongside the 'real life' scenarios of actually taking your dog to your workplace, where you work - so will be useful also for Therapy Dog Trainers.
Throughout this podcast we mention other episodes that we have done which have relevant information included, these are:
