About all the things we do with our dogs. Dogs are more than just pets. They are our confidantes, our companions. They are our sidekicks, our cohorts, our comic-relief. They are our biggest supporters and our constant champions. They are our best friends. They are family. No where in the world is this more apparent than it is here in the USA.

Episode 17 The Hardest Part

Sep 27 2021 30 mins  
Possibly the hardest part of pet ownership is when it comes to an end, when we have to say goodbye to the friend and companion who has become such an integral part of our life. No matter how long we have with them, goodbye always comes too soon. That loss can weigh heavy on us, but there is support for those who need it. On this episode of The American Canine Podcast, we meet Conni

Apr 01 2021 23 mins  
It is a very special dog that can handle this high stress work and most of the time the ones that succeed have been purposefully bred to become the best dogs they can be, but sometimes out of shelters or rescues, comes a diamond in the "ruff."

A K9 can be a force multiplier for a police department, adding numerous facets to law enforcement options when they’re patrolling the streets.
