On this week’s episode of the podcast Annie speaks to Daniel Schulof to discuss his journey into the world of pet food and chat about some of the myths and misconceptions about what dogs should be eating.
High-fat diets are popular right now in the human realm, but should your dog be "low carb" too?
Daniel Schulof left a career in law in order to help combat the canine obesity epidemic by getting people to stop feeding their dog food that is high in carbohydrates.
He is the author of Dogs, Dog Food, and Dogma, and founder of a new company that makes low-carb dry food for dogs: Keto Natural.

On this week’s episode of the podcast Annie interviews creator Susan about the origins of the Treat Clincher, an award winning, $229 bully stick holder.
Susan Mravca is an entrepreneur with a mission: To help people spend more time with their dogs, without their dogs bothering them. Bully sticks, she found, are great at keeping a dog occupied, but she didn’t like having to hold her dog’s chews in place in order to keep her from burying it or swallowing it. She decided to try to design something that could work—something unlike any other product she could find for this purpose—but she had one major criterion that was rather unusual: It had to be an object of great beauty.
The result, which she designed with help from her brother —an engineer with a background in the Department of Defense — is the recently-launched Treat Clincher, which just won the prestigious Good Design Award.
The price tag, however, will leave some pet owners aghast.

Meet student, Hudson!
She is named after a few of her human’s favorite places - Hudson Street in the West Village, the Hudson Valley, and her dad's golf course Hudson National.
“She learned "touch" in about 3 seconds and gets so excited about it.
I've followed SFTD for years, back when Hudson was just a thought and we didn't even live in the East Village.
When we got Hudson we happened to live in East Village (and still do!) so it was perfect.”

In this episode, Annie outlines how to teach touch, and talks about this behavior's countless uses and variations.
This is an easy-to-teach building block that you can use to build... whatever you want!
Step-by-step:
Start by presenting a flat hand to your dog and giving them time to investigate. Mark and reward for any of the following:
- sniffing your hand
- looking at your hand
- moving closer to your hand
- touching your hand
2. Try again!
3. Mark and reward for closer increments towards your hand
4. Add verbal cue once your dog is touching your hand every time you present it
5. Add verbal cue ‘TOUCH’ immediately before presenting your hand for your dog to touch

Annie, who is not Catholic, wondered if this pooh-poohing of pet ownership was echoing the church's stance on our relationships with non-human animals, or if maybe the Pope was going rogue.
So, she called her friend Dan Gallagher, a professor of Classics at Cornell University.
Professor Gallagher is uniquely qualified to discuss this topic:
He used to be one of the Pope's secretaries and translators.
He also grew up breeding Cocker Spaniels, and once gave a funeral to a hamster.
He and Annie discuss some of the Catholic church's past champions of animals -- from Saint Francis of Assisi to cat-lover Pope Benedict -- try to parse the Pope's words and wonder if maybe it's time for Pope Francis to try his hand at...pet sitting.
