Today Jacque speaks with Joe Sheeran about Aussies. This is a very interesting conversation about Joe’s dog Woody the American Farm Bureau Federation's 2019 Farm Dog of the Year (the first Farm Dog of the year!). Joe has a fascinating story about how he came to work with Austrailian Shepherds. When Joe was looking for a dog, he met Rodger Stevens, owner of Pincie Creek Australian Shepherds. This is who he adopted Woody from. After that, Joe met Shelly Spotswood. She really introduced him to training his dogs for stock work. That led to trialing.  The way that Joe acquired Woody was very interesting. Woody was originally given to another owner, but after the owner gave him up, Joe stepped up and welcomed him into his life.  One day when Joe was herding, his cow attacked him, only to be saved by Woody. He was injured, but Woody saved his life.  Jacque and Joe also talk a lot about training their dogs to work with sheep, especially the stubborn ones. Dogs make mistakes, but as you spend more time with them, they learn and get used to different types of animals. No matter how much instinct they have, the Austrailian Shepherds still have to have an understanding of their duties.  Joe says dogs really have everything they need to know inside of them, it's just like training a person you work with.  He is a big proponent of allowing dogs to figure out things for themselves. This allows the dog to use their mind, make their own decisions, and be more proactive of the needs of their tasks. It may not go well the first couple of times, but once they learn more and do not need to be told what to do, it can save the situation.  What separates Aussies from other dogs is the way they think. This episode really shares that what they can learn is unlimited.

Joe Sheeran and Woody the 2019 Farm Bureau Dog of the Year

In this episode, Jacque speaks with Randy Kidd, owner of Kidd’s Australian Shepherd, about the history of Australian Shepherd, and what defines a working dog. They also discuss Australian Shepherd genetics and how it is so important when choosing a dog.  Randy Kidd grew up around working dogs. As he got older and started working in livestock, he decided it was time to get his own dogs. In 1979, Randy Kidd got his first registered Australian Shepherd and still works them to this day. He is the owner of Kidd’s Australian Shepherd.  Randy tells stories about working dogs and what a good working dog looks like and what they can do. He talks about the kind of dogs he likes and shares the history of his lines. He gives great advice on choosing pups, and getting into breeding working dogs.  Randy’s company, Kidd’s Australian Shepherd, continues to keep strong Hangin Tree and Slash V bloodlines as the principal breeding in their Aussie dogs. They believe that a powerful dog can handle all types of stock.  Randy strives to breed Aussies that are physically correct and sound, mentally strong, and dogs that are very trainable and fun to be around. The Aussies at Kidd’s Australian Shepherd meet their expectations or we will not sell them to someone else. Their dogs come with a full health guarantee and are guaranteed to want to work.

History and Working Dogs with Randy Kidd

This is a very interesting episode about training with chain behavior and how explosion detection dogs! Jacque speaks with Élise Saint-Pierre, the owner of Dig It Dogs Canine Services and an explosive detection canine handler.  She started with training when she was in high school with her terrier mix. After she graduated high school, she went to British Columbia for 6 months to learn more about dog training. When she got back to Nova Scotia, she started boarding and private training.  For Élise, chain behavior training sessions are her favorite way to work with a dog because she can see their true intelligence. A chain behavior is a multiple set of behaviors that a dog must do all of them, in order, for the dog to get the reward.  Élise is also working with an explosion detection dog, a shepherd named Roberta. Élise keeps up on her training and works on a lot of nose work (scent detection) with her.  When training, she says it's easy to get stuck in the frame of “this dog is not understanding the training” but Élise realized she needed to take a step back and train them based on what works for them.  Élise focuses on shaping the behavior. She starts with a goal in mind, and rather than have them follow a treat, she teaches them the process. She likes letting the dog be creative so they can figure out the system, rather than just going through the systems. Élise has 2 “full-time” dogs with whom she focuses on obedience and agility training.

Chain Behavior Training and Working with Explosion Detection Dogs featuring Élise Saint-Pierre

In this episode, Jacque speaks with Aaron Steele, founder of Goats On The Go and host of the Farm Dog podcast.   This is a very interesting conversation about finding a working dog that works for you. When you are looking for a working cattle dog, it is very important to understand the dog’s genetics. Building a relationship with an outside breeder is important, especially if you want to know the dog’s background, training, and potential health issues.  It is important to know what dog you want for your lifestyle, and that is why podcasts like The Instinctive Australian Shepherd and Farm Dog are educating people about the breeds and what to expect from them.  They were just having fun at first and started off their farm as a hobby, but quickly became a business called Goats On The Go®. Now they have 35 affiliates, including one in Canada and Australia.  His son’s helped manage the growth, but as they grew up and moved out of the house, he felt the “growing pain” and decided it was time to get his first stock dog - so he decided to interview experts and that was the birth of his podcast, Farm Dog.  Goats On The Go, based in Ames, Iowa, is a targeted grazing company that uses goats to sustainably manage unwanted vegetation on customers' properties. They also produce the most sustainable meat on Earth for restaurants and consumers. Aaron’s organization is helping people to stop surrendering to the use of poisonous herbicides or CO2-spewing equipment and using goats instead.  Connect with Aaron and Goats On The Go®: Goats On The Go: https://www.goatsonthego.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goatsonthego/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/goats-on-the-go/?viewAsMember=true Farm Dog podcast:  https://www.goatsonthego.com/farm-dog-podcast   Connect with me, Jacqueline Tinker: Lessons, trained dogs, occasional puppies, clinics, and trials Phone number: 817-948-8825 www.stockdogtrainer.com www.intinctiveaussie.com

Finding The Working Dog That Is Right For You, featuring Aaron Steel from Goats On The Go

Title: Clinic Hopping with Kathi Schwengel In this episode, I chat with Kathi Schwengel, an author and Australian Shepherd enthusiast. There are so many similarities between our lives, this conversation is like speaking with an old friend.  We talk about how having Australian Shepherds is like having a Ferrari without breaks. These dogs are amazing, they have such inner knowing, but you need to put breaks on them! We also talk about what it is like living with Australian Shepherds, living on a farm, dealing with sheep, ducks, and other animals. Kathi was working with the versatility line of Aussies when she got her first sheep. She was trialing and training her dogs, but realized she was missing all the good stuff that happens when you do it “the right way”. When you don't focus on the main end goal, you get to experience all the little goals, which she found was way more fun for her. She knew she wanted to continue taking her dogs to competitions, but she needed a break. She had to take a step back to find more joy for not only herself but her dogs as well.  We discuss ‘clinic hopping’ and changing techniques. I suggest finding one mentor and mastering one method before finding another method to experiment with. Kathi is a fantasy author. Growing up, she spent a lot of time in the library with her librarian mother. Her newest book Bound In Shadow is available now on her website or on Amazon.

Working Description and Author Devin O'Branagan

 This is part 2 of my interview with Jeanne Joy Hartnagle-Taylor. She is a gem of history and information. In this episode we talk about the most crazy animal her dogs have worked. We also jump into a correct conformation of working dogs discussion which is very spicy and interesting! Check out Jeanne Joy's book  The Australian Shepherd Judging Compendium  Listen to some great stories of old working dogs including a couple of stories of how Aussies saved lives back in the day!   If you are new to the breed, you will get valuable insight into what makes your dog tick. This is the story of where they came from and why they are so special. If you look way back into the pedigree of your dogs, there is a good chance you will find one of Jeanne Joy's dogs there.  For those of us who know the Hartnagle family, it is a great pleasure to hear these stories over and over again and to learn more about these creatures we love. The working Aussie has a rich heritage. This is one interview you won't want to miss. Jeanne Joy talks about where the Aussies came from (hint: It wasn't Australia) and how they came to be such an important part of our history as a country and played an important role in agriculture starting during the second World War.  We discuss what the original Aussie breeders looked for in a dog and how they developed through some of the founding breeders and kennels. Jeanne Joy is a published author of all things Aussie and she talks about one of her books,  Stockdog Savvy. Our conversation was so interesting and engaging it went really long- so this is only Part I of this great conversation.

From the Beginning with Jeanne Joy Hartnagle-Taylor

NERD ALERT! In this episode, I am talking with CA Sharp about the genetics of the Australian Shepherd and we dig into the tricky topic of genetics.  CA Sharp is probably the most influential and knowledgable genetic researchers working with the Australian Shepherd breed. She is a science writer and internationally recognized lay expert on canine genetics and hereditary diseases. We start the conversation on a grim note- discussing the most common genetic and life threatening diseases found in the Australian Shepherd- hemangiosarcoma and epilepsy. CA talks about the research efforts in this area and how ASHGI.org is involved.  Our conversation covers topics from DM to hip dysplasia. We also get lively with our discussion on how and when to use genetic testing to determine breeding pairs.  This is a great conversation, but it barely scratches the surface of the genetics topic. Join us and learn more about this amazing breed!  Check us out onf Facebook at the Instinctive Australian Shepherd and the website www.theinstinctiveaussie.com

Flying High with Frisbee Dogs

Today I interview Dave Dourson from Kinetic Performance Dog Food company. This is a great conversation to listen to no matter what kind of diet you are feeding your dogs. Dave and his partner designed a dog food that feeds the most elite canine athletes, warriors and performance dogs in the country. The Department of Defense dogs (think the military dogs that are deployed overseas and at home), many police departments and sheriff's department K-9s across the country as well as many high level performance and competition dogs are fed Kinetic Dog food. I found out about Kinetic from another podcast I listen to called Working Dog Radio and decided to investigate it myself. This is a great product, and an awesome conversation about canine nutrition. Learn how to read a dog food bag label properly. Dave shares industry insider information on what all those things on the side fo the dog food bag mean and how they can sometimes be misleading.  We discuss the nutrition needs of the performance canine athlete and working dog and how dogs create energy from food. HINT: Not the same way people do!  Dave shines a light on some not so upfront practices used in the dog food industry that you need to know about. If your dog is a performance dog, a working farm or ranch dog or you have a dog suffering from medical or skin conditions, this podcast is a must listen.  WARNING: Nerd alert! There is some science being discussed and even a little organic chemistry near the end. Don't be scared...it's all digestible (pun intended).

In this episode it is my honor to interview Jeanne Joy Hartnagle-Taylor, whose family was one of the founding breeders of the Australian Shepherd. Jeanne Joy is full of interesting information and history! It is so great to hear her talk about these dogs and how they were developed and came to be the breed we know now.  If you are new to the breed, you will get valuable insight into what makes your dog tick. This is the story of where they came from and why they are so special. If you look way back into the pedigree of your dogs, there is a good chance you will find one of Jeanne Joy's dogs there.  For those of us who know the Hartnagle family, it is a great pleasure to hear these stories over and over again and to learn more about these creatures we love. The working Aussie has a rich heritage. This is one interview you won't want to miss. Jeanne Joy talks about where the Aussies came from (hint: It wasn't Australia) and how they came to be such an important part of our history as a country and played an important role in agriculture starting during the second World War.  We discuss what the original Aussie breeders looked for in a dog and how they developed through some of the founding breeders and kennels. Jeanne Joy is a published author of all things Aussie and she talks about one of her books, Stockdog Savvy. Our conversation was so interesting and engaging it went really long- so this is only Part I of this great conversation.
