In this episode, Nikki talks with Amanda after she returns from her trip to Ireland. Her and Clark and some wonderful adventures but what she took away from her vacation was that dogs in Ireland are a little different than our dogs in the US. She also discusses the details on traveling with a dog that eats a home-cooked diet and how to do it simply, even when it's international travel. We can learn a lot from other countries, and I think that the US needs to catch up to the progressiveness of other countries when it comes to our pets.

TW: Discussions on animal abuse, hoarding, dog aggression and euthanasia.

In this episode, Nikki is joined by DogSpeak trainer, Alicia and Animal Rescue Corps, Director of Animal Welfare, Kim Rezac.

Behavioral Euthanasia is a topic no one wants to talk about. The adage of "it's all in how you raise them" is unfortunately untrue. Dogs are individuals and they often have traumas that they are unable to overcome and for the safety of humans and other animals, behavioral euthanasia is the most humane choice.

Regardless of which side of the discussion you are on, this episode will give you the view from a behavior specialist dealing mostly with pets, an animal welfare director who works with dogs from hoarding/abusive situations, and a former dog foster that had to make the most difficult decision with her foster.
