ISN'T HE?
OK.
WE'RE BACK MEG AND OF COURSE
NATHAN >> THE ENDI DOG
WHISPERER WE ARE TALKING
RESCUING DAN RIGHT.
NATHAN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S
VERY IMPORTANT.
IT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
SO OFTEN WHEN FOLKS GO TO A
SHELTER OR A RESCUE TO CHOOSE A
DOG WHEN A DOG IS BEHIND THEIR
CAGE, THAT FIRST IMPRESSION CAN
BE COMPLETELY INACCURATE
BECAUSE THEY'RE IN A STRESSFUL
ENVIRONMENT.
THEY'RE IN A SMALL ENCLOSURE.
GET THE DOG OUT TO SEE WHAT THE
DOG'S TEMPERAMENT IS.
DON'T JUDGE BY IN FACT I SENT
SOME VIDEO IN EARLIER OF A
SHEPHERD THAT I THIS IS IT.
IT'S IT'S HEY CAMERAS A LITTLE.
YEAH.
SO YOU'RE NOT USED TO THAT ARE
YOU?
YEAH >> THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
SO ANYHOW WHEN YOU GET A DOG
OUT YOU SEE WHAT THE
TEMPERAMENT IS LIKE.
MORE THAT WAY AS FAR AS
CHOOSING.
PATTI SPITLER OUR FRIEND IS
THIS IS VERY FOND OF SAYING NO
YOUR BREED AND THAT IS TRUE
WITH RESCUE DOGS BECAUSE SO
OFTEN PEOPLE GET A SHEPHERD PUT
IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.
IT'S A WORKING DOG.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY.
AND SO AND THEN BEYOND THAT, IF
YOU GO TO THE SHELTER AND YOU
SEE AN ENERGETIC DOG AND YOU
HAVE A SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE NOT
GOOD IDEAS CAN BE A FRUSTRATED
DOG.
RIGHT.
ON THE SAME TOKEN, IF YOU FIND
A SEDENTARY DOG AND YOU HAVE AN
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE YOU LOVE TO
BIKE, RUN, HIKE, DON'T DON'T
BRING A SEDENTARY DOG THAT THEY
WON'T WANT TO DO THAT >>.
IS THAT GOOD QUESTIONS TO ASK
YOURSELF IF YOU'RE WANTING TO
DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHICH I
THINK IS A GREAT THING BUT WHAT
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
WHAT FITS YOU, WHAT FITS YOUR
LIFESTYLE YOUR EVERYDAY ROUTINE
?
YES, AND THAT'S WHY I THINK
IT'S VERY BENEFICIAL THE
SHELTER WILL ALLOW YOU TO
FOSTER A DOG, BRING IT HOME AND
JUST TEST THE CHEMISTRY WITH
YOUR FAMILY AND WITH YOUR
ENVIRONMENT AND WITH YOUR
ENERGY.
AND THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
INDICATION IF THE DOG WILL BE A
FIT FAMILY MEMBER.
YOU AND YOUR PARTICULAR THAT'S
A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
AND SPEAKING OF THAT, YOU ALSO
SAY CREATE A SECURE FAMILY
ENVIRONMENT.
TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT >>.
SO CREATING A SECURE
ENVIRONMENT SPECIALLY FOR AN
ANIMAL THAT HAS BEEN IN AN
ENVIRONMENT THAT IS A BIT
CHAOTIC, YOU NEED STRONG CALM
LEADERSHIP FOR THAT ANIMAL NOT.
THE PROBLEM WITH A BUNCH OF
SYMPATHY AND SYMPATHETIC TONES
IS THAT THIS CAN MAKE THE DOG
EVEN MORE NERVOUS.
THEY'VE BEEN IN A LITTLE BIT
UNSTEADY ALIGNMENT.
YEAH.
STRONG CALM LEADERSHIP AND THEN
USE THIS PART RIGHT HERE THE
NOSE AND LET THEM SMELL THINGS
AND BITE THEM TO SMELL THINGS
IN YOUR HOME.
YOU KNOW WHEN PEOPLE BRING
GROCERY BAGS AND SO OFTEN
THEY'LL SAY >> OH HOLD THEM
DOWN.
SAY WHAT IS THIS?
INVITE THE NOSE.
THAT'S THEIR PRIMARY SOURCE OF
INFORMATION AND SOCIAL
EXCHANGE.
SO USE THE NOSE AND THEN TO
BUILD RAPPORT.
WATCH >> BUILD >> ROOM GO.
HEY, I'VE GOT MY TO BUILD
RAPPORT WITH YOUR DOG.
TAKE THEM ON ADVENTURES AND I
RECOMMEND OFF TRAIL ADVENTURES.
DOGS LOVE THIS AND IT BONDS
THEM TO YOU IN A VERY UNIQUE
WAY.
SO THERE SHE SHE TELL US A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT MEG.
MEG >> WAS FOUND AS A STRAY.
SHE IS MISSING A TOENAIL.
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAD A HAND
DOC JOB ON HER TAIL.
OH, SHE'S GOT A COUPLE OF
NOTCHES OUT HER EARS BUT SHE'S
SUPER SWEET.
MAYBE NOT TO THE CAMERAMAN >>
BUT THE CAMERA >> I SHOULD SAY
THAT IS NO DOWN TO YOU, SIR.
BUT SHE IS AVAILABLE FOR
ADOPTION.
TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS.
GREENFIELD HANCOCK ANIMAL
MANAGEMENT.
THEY ARE DOING ADOPTIONS.
THEY HAVE A FULL HOUSE THERE.
SO STOP ON BY THERE AND CHECK
OUT THEIR DOGS OR STAFF WILL
WALK YOU THROUGH THAT PROCESS,
OK?
ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE'RE
MISSING THAT WE HAVEN'T
COVERED?
I LOVE THE POINT ABOUT TAKING
THEM OUT OF THAT ENVIRONMENT.
YES.
HITTING THEM OUTSIDE TO SEE HOW
THEY REALLY DO VIDEOS ON THAT.
I JUST KNOW I'VE SEEN >> A
COUPLE I DO IN FACT GREENFIELD
HANDCOCK MANAGEMENT IS WHERE I
CENTRALIZED MY VIDEOS.
THEY'VE BEEN SO GOOD TO ME
ALLOWING ME TO WORK WITH THEIR
DOGS AND FEATURE THEM IN VIDEOS
AND THAT HAS HELPED EDUCATE THE
PUBLIC IN HOW DO WE.
THAT'S >> RIGHT.
THAT'S GREAT.
THIS WAY.
OK WELL SHALL WE GO TO VIEWER
REQUEST?
LET'S DO THAT.
LET'S DO LET'S DO THAT BECAUSE
YOU GUYS WE DO HAVE A QUESTION
FROM NICOLE OF AVON.
SHE SAYS I HAD TO PUT DOWN MY
10 MASTIFF MIX THIS WEEK AND
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY EIGHT
YEAR OLD.
IS IT CATAHOULA, CATAHOULA,
CATAHOULA?
WHO HAS NEVER KNOWN LIFE
WITHOUT HIM?
OH, THAT'S TOUGH.
ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP HER?
ANY SIGNS TO LOOK FOR THAT I
SHOULD ALSO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
>> OK.
AND THAT'S VERY, VERY GOOD
QUESTION.
HERE'S WHAT I FIND BECAUSE I
HAVE THIS QUESTION SOMETIMES
WHEN YOU LOSE WHEN YOU HAVE A
PACK AND YOU LOSE AN ANIMAL.
YEAH.
USUALLY THE THING THAT WORRIES
THE DOG THE MOST IS THE OWNER'S
GRIEF.
SO IT'S NOT JUST A DOG WILL
ADJUST TO THAT.
BUT SOMETIMES THE OWNER FEELS
SO SYMPATHETIC FOR THE DOG THAT
THEY'RE LIKE THEY BEGIN
BABYING, THEY BEGIN
SYMPATHIZING WITH THAT WORRIES
THE DOG AND THAT THROWS THEM
OFF.
SO THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO
FOR YOUR DOG WHEN THEY LOSE A
PACK MATE IS BE EVEN AND STEADY
AND CONTINUE TAKING THEM OUT ON
ADVENTURES AND CREATING THAT
BONDING PROCESS.
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
I CAN'T OVEREMPHASIZE THAT
ENOUGH.
JUST MOVE ON WITH LIFE IN THE
WILD.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
THEY LOSE MEMBERS OF THEIR PACK
AND THEY ADAPT AND THEY MOVE ON
AND YOU HAVE TO HELP THEM DO
THE SAME THING INSTEAD OF
CREATING STRESS BY YOUR WORD.
THAT'S A TOUGH THING.
IT IS.
THEY REALLY DO.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH DOGS IN MY
LIFETIME TO KNOW WHEN YOU LOSE
WHEN THEY KNOW THEY KNOW >>
THEY ABSOLUTELY KNOW AND THEY
FEEL IT >>.
THEY DO.
THEY KNOW.
BUT BUT BUT I THINK THAT SOME
OF THE EXTENDED STRESS THAT
COMES IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE
OWNER IS FEELING AND THEY'RE
REACTING TO THAT.
YEAH.
>> BECAUSE THEY'RE PROTECTIVE
OF YOU TOO.
YES.
THEY ARE AND THEY'RE CONCERNED
ABOUT YOU.
IT'S AN >> INTERESTING DIANE
DYNAMICS FOR YOU.
OK, SO NATHAN, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
WELL, THANK YOU.

OR CONCERN ABOUT YOUR DOG TO
