In this special Thanksgiving edition of the podcast, Victoria tackles questions about Dr. Paula Bloom’s new puppy, Suki, and how the pup is getting along (or not) with its canine sibling. Topics touched on include:
- Whether you should train and raise different types of dogs differently
- What to do when the new puppy seems to like one person in the family more than another
- Victoria's thoughts on the concept of 'sibling rivalry' between multiple dogs in the same household
- How to deal with an existing dog who is showing her teeth to the new puppy in the house.
Ask Victoria questions include:
- How long is it ok to leave dogs on their own during the day?
- Do dogs recognize and develop prejudices against certain breeds?
- Is it ethical to buy breeds known to have health issues even if they come from responsible breeders?
- What makes a dog smart or intelligent?
Victoria's Animal Academy returns with a twist: Victoria's daughter, Alex, stumps Holly, Victoria, and Paula with some pretty random, difficult (and not always dog-related) quiz questions.
This season of Ask Victoria is sponsored by Zuke's!
