PLUS: Meet Floyd, once neglected and forgotten, now living life to the fullest! Angela Marcus interviews Sondra Rolison, owner of Blitz Pet Professionals and highly sought-after dog training professional. Sondra tells us about her background - how she turned a passion into a career - and makes some genius analogies for how training dogs can be like having a three-year-old in your home. Listen to learn the importance of crate training and hear some great tips on the best way to use positive reinforcement to train your pup to potty outside. Sondra also shares her suggestions for what to consider when adopting your next dog.
We also hear the story of Floyd, Sondra’s current foster dog. After spending his formative days locked in a “cat-sized” crate in a dark, windowless basement, he was rescued. His former owner stands charged with over 40 counts of animal cruelty/neglect. Thankfully, through a network of dedicated animal advocates, Floyd was brought to Sondra for rehabilitation. She has been working to nurse him back to health and with frequent physical therapy, massage and lots of time outdoors in the sunshine, he is well on the road to recovery and is now ready to for his forever home. Even though he is dog-friendly, Sondra wants him to find a home where he can be the only dog and “center of attention” to ensure he gets all the love he deserves!
