The answer is yes. But hierarchy with cats isn’t always as it is with humans or dogs. They have time share, and other values that makes their hierarchy situational depending on a few factor Dusty discusses.

Deborah asks Dr. Stanley Coren to explain how dogs are equal to a 2-3 year old child and challenges him with examples that seem to show advanced abilities like the puppy who saved a building from fire and the golden retriever who kept his owner safe and warm in the cold last week in the news. Empathy and altruism are part of the dog and 2-3 year old makeup explains the Professor.

Are pit bulls that different from other dogs? They are over represented in fatal bite statistics but is that stat relevant to the mutt you might meet at the dog park who looks like a pit bull?

Dusty Rainbolt, author of Deborah Wolfe’s favorite cat training book ‘Cat Wrangling Made Easy’ & others, joins Deborah to discuss the differences between dogs and cats and their body language. Can you tell the bully from the victim in a dog or cat quarrel? A cat lying on its back or offering its belly may attack seconds later while a dog doing the same is totally relaxed. Sometimes their body language is the same but sometimes each species is very different. Does a wagging tail always mean happy pet? Listen to this show if you want to understand dogs and cats body language better so you can read animals you don’t know, but also so you can read your own pets’ body language. Deborah explains how sometimes a pet can tell you something you don’t expect; and need something that you would never have guessed because it goes against all the info and wisdom and book learning out there and yet your pet is telling you what it wants so why not listen? New Mom Golden Retriever Scarlet told Deborah something un

Deborah Wolfe interviews Mary Margaret Callahan about Pet Partners and the great course they are offering on dog body language. Do you wish you could read dogs better?

If you think a wagging tail always means happy dog then you need the course! Plus while learning to read dog body language you'll be helping to raise money to fund animal visits for people in need. The course itself was originally designed for those handling animals who visit hospitals and now its available to you at www.petpartners.org. Deborah chats with Mary Margaret about the many body signs you will learn to read by taking the course and the impact learning to read dog body language will have on your own dogs and your interactions with all dogs.

Deborah Wolfe interviews Kate Quinn about Pilots volunteering to fly homeless rescue animals to families who want them. Sometimes there is a crushing pet population problem which seems unsolvable yet has a common sense solution like sometimes there are homeless animals in one place and homes for them in another far away place and the animals suffer or get euthanized while families that want them go without. Then along came Pilots N Paws and the idea that a pilot flying somewhere for business or pleasure with some space in the plane could take the dog or cat from where it is unwanted in a shelter situation to a home that is ready and waiting using a network of volunteer drivers and short stay layover foster homes and pilots to get the trip done.
