Can choosing the wrong dog upset your entire household? Our first guest, Brandi Burket, a certified pet trainer and owner of Pets Enrichment and Training Solutions (PETS), would argue it can. Join us as Brandi unpacks her personal journey in pet training that started at the Humane Society in Tampa back in 2009. With her wealth of experience, Brandi highlights the critical importance of selecting the right dog that aligns with your family's lifestyle to avoid common pitfalls such as overwhelming energy levels or unexpected behaviors that often lead to pets being surrendered.
For those pondering which dog might best fit their home, this episode is a treasure trove of insights. We dive into the specific needs of high-drive breeds like German Shepherds and Malinois, which require substantial mental and physical stimulation. Brandy makes a compelling case for considering an older, calmer dog if your schedule is jam-packed or if you crave a serene home environment. Families with young kids or older adults will benefit from her expert advice on balancing size, age, and temperament to ensure a harmonious match.
Ever wondered if gender matters when bringing a new dog into a multi-dog household? Brandy offers her expert opinion, elucidating why two female dogs might be more prone to conflicts. She also underscores the importance of spaying and neutering to manage behavioral issues. Finally, the episode wraps up with invaluable tips on finding a professional trainer who uses positive reinforcement techniques, ensuring a joyful and trusting relationship between you and your new furry friend. This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to making informed, responsible choices in pet ownership.

We hope you enjoyed listening to this "Best Of" episode with our amazing guest!
