'The Great Race of Mercy'

This weekend marks the 100th anniversary of the Nome Serum Run, a historic dog sled relay that saved the remote town of Nome, Alaska, from a diphtheria outbreak in 1925. Twenty mushers and more than 150 sled dogs transported an antitoxin 674 miles across harsh terrain in just 127.5 hours, battling temperatures as low as minus 85 degrees.



In January, Nome's only doctor diagnosed diphtheria, a highly contagious and often fatal disease, in several children. With the town inaccessible by boat and air travel deemed too dangerous, sled dogs were the only viable option for transporting the serum across the Alaskan wilderness to prevent a potential epidemic.



While lead dog Balto gained international fame—and a Disney animated film—for completing the final 55-mile leg, another dog named Togo, and his team actually covered the most treacherous 264-mile stretch. The serum run utilized parts of what is now known as the Iditarod Trail, although it wasn't the direct inspiration for the modern race.

When Detroit firefighter Matt Dunaj reached a crisis point in August, he considered ending things, but an unlikely hero managed to convince him otherwise.

Great podcast!!

Anyone who has an interest in dogs should listen to this entire podacst.

Welcome to the latest TWC podcast, where we challenge one of the most controversial and misleading documents in the dog training industry: the AVSAB position statement on training methods. Force-free trainers often uphold this statement as the ultimate authority, claiming it represents a scientific consensus that should dictate the industry’s practices. But we believe this statement is not only flawed but also dangerous and unethical. Today, we got together to examine its weaknesses and set the record straight!

Joining me are three exceptional experts with unparalleled experience in dog training, breeding, and behavioral science:

First, Stephanie Cottee, an animal behavior and welfare scientist, researcher, and co-owner of Black Kraken K9. Stephanie combines her scientific expertise with practical experience as a working German Shepherd trainer and breeder, bringing a unique perspective to the conversation.

Next, Dr. Stewart Hilliard, a behavioral neuroscientist with a PhD and 45 years of experience in training and breeding working dogs. Much of his career has been devoted to military dog training, establishing him as one of the foremost authorities in the field.

Finally, Michael Ellis, a legendary trainer with 45 years of experience. In the past Michael has spent over a decade giving seminars for police, sport, and search-and-rescue dog handlers. He’s the founder of the Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers, which he has run for 15 years, and a breeder of exceptional Belgian Malinois.

Together, we dissect the AVSAB position statement, reveal its contradictions, and discuss the true science and ethics behind effective dog training.

Does your dog truly understand the words "sit," "down," or "heel"?

Many will say yes, but when asked to demonstrate, they realize that the dog does not actually know the word.

Their dog only assumes positions by following a hand signal or being lured with a treat.

Most dog trainers never truly teach the word; they merely lure dogs into positions.

As a result, the dog will follow the hand signal or lure but has never learned the word itself.

This is one of the many reasons some dogs fail at obedience in real-life situations.

Among many other contributing factors, they may rely too heavily on the hand signal or treat.

Test your dog: if they respond to the word alone, congratulations.

If they do not respond to the word itself, then we can help!
