Join host Michele Forto as she discusses the fascinating history of military working dogs in Alaska on Dog Works Radio.

Did you know that sled dogs played a pivotal role in World War II and today we are going to learn the fascinating history of these dogs and how it was not long after the war that organizations such as the Alaska Dog Mushers Association and Alaskan Sled Dog and Racing Association were established. At the same time, races such as the North American Championship sled dog derby and the Fur Rondy Open World Championship Sled Dog Race were started.

It was into this world of dogs and racing that enlisted airborne instructor and World War II veteran Joe Redington Sr., Father of the Iditarod, arrived in Alaska in 1948.

Join host Michele Forto as she discusses what you should do when dog training falls apart. 

So picture this, you have put in months of hard work and patience to train your K9 Buddy. Finally, one fine morning, you do your usual routine and take your dog out for a nice walk. You hook them up to the leash, step outside, and BAM! Out of nowhere, you feel like you are flying, then falling, and ouch! Pain sets in. What happened? Well, in that morning fog, your dog spots a squirrel and decides to go all out in hot pursuit. They take off, dragging you and your precious morning coffee across the lawn.

Join host Michele Forto as she discusses how dog owners can better understand anxiety and how to build confidence in their furry companions. 

When working with our dogs, we want to teach them new skills, build their confidence, and have fun together. Dogs aren’t robots, and even if we think we’re going into a regular training session, sometimes they can get nervous or spooked. But why does your dog get scared while you’re training? Here are things to keep in mind if your dog gets anxious as you train together.
