• PTR #289 FEATURE STORY: Dealing With Separation Anxiety - With Steve Austin
  Why do our pets - dogs in particular - get what is commonly known as 'Separation Anxiety'? But more importantly - how can we solve it? Of course animal trainer and featured co-host Steve Austin comes to the rescue of one listener whose Cavalier King Charles Spaniel just can't stand the thought of its owner literally leaving the room, and Steve has some unique ways to help solve this very common problem. Do you have a dog that suffers from Separation Anxiety? - we do... and badly, particularly overnight... but that could also be due to a medical condition we are aware of. So no matter what you hear on Pet Talk Radio or read on the internet - PLEASE... always see your vet for a check-up... it might just be the best money you ever spent for the health and well-being of your pet.

• PTR #288 FEATURE STORY: Pet Dentists - Save Your Pet's Teeth & Save You Money! - Dr Barbara Fougere
  We know now from personal experience that cleaning your pet's teeth from an early age particularly a dog's is just as important as cleaning your own teeth every day. Why?.. because dogs and cats are just as prone to tooth decay and other nasty mouth and gum problems as we are, and if not diagnosed and treated early, these problems can lead to more and more complications including tooth extraction. So how do pet dentists save you money?... Well like most medical (or mechanical problems for that matter) if the problem is found early, your overall costs are much less than if you leave it, hoping it will go away. It won't! Who better to tell us about the problem than our own vet Dr Barbara Fougere?

• PTR #287 FEATURE STORY: Growly Dogs = Back Off Buddy With Australia's most popular veterinarian - Dr Harry Cooper
  Part of a dog's natural behaviour is to growl. Many dog owners think their dog is aggressive because they growl. Sometimes this is the case and Dr Harry talks about that in this featured story, but generally dog to dog growling, especially at feeding time is a natural behaviour that most dogs understand the meaning of. Dogs growling at humans is an absolute no no... but knowing that a growling dog is saying'back off or I'll bite' is certainly good to know! Young children especially can be a threat to dogs - some dogs see screaming 3 year old kids as 'aliens'... pulling their tails, shouting and running. A young child does not understand what a growl means. Once again Dr Harry has some great advice for all dog loving families.

• PTR #286 FEATURE STORY: Bad Pets, Bad Management or Bad Owners? + BSL With Veterinary Behaviourist Dr Kersti Seksel
  There are two issues here animals that really are bad because they're born that way and others that are bad because of their circumstances. Even with some of the country's toughest laws particularly regarding dogs people still get bitten or attacked almost every day and cat owners still leave cats out at night that wander around the neighbourhood killing local wildlife. We currently have a bunch of tom cats roaming the neighbourhood at night looking for a cute (very young) little female who is obviously on heat. A house around the corner had a sign out a few months ago "Kittens $30 each". Clearly they didn't sell them all (or de-sex them) and the consequences are now obvious. Are these 'bad pets' or simply bad owners giving the rest of us pet owners a bad name? According to expert veterinary behaviourist Dr Kersti Seksel, some animals may actually be born 'bad' (particularly dogs that have a 'bad attitude') and all the training in the world is not going to help. Australia's top veterinary behaviourist, Dr Seksel has some very interesting things to say about all this and BSL or Breed Specific Legislation (which can be heard from about 3:30mins in)

• PTR #285 FEATURE STORY: Ipswich Council Replies Re Dog Bark Collars - Andrew Antoniolli
  Since we aired the original story (above), Councillor Andrew Antoniolli (left) who is Chairperson of the Health & Regulation Committee (Ipswich City) contacted us and asked to appear on the show... Mr Antoniolli said "I listened to the concerns of Dr Sillince who was sceptical of the applications that these collars can be used and (she) seemed to be fixated on the very rare case that a complainant neighbour could exploit the use of the collar.""Council sees the use of the collars in a completely different light." he added. We spoke with Councillor Antoniolli to learn how these collars are really being used and what results they have had on neighbourhood barking complaints.
