Episode 83: A Dog-Filled Holiday Season

It’s Christmastime, and everyone’s busy with the holiday season. Victoria shares things she’s celebrating during the holidays, including the huge response to #LucysLaw – helping to combat the practice of puppy farming and puppy mills, especially in the UK. The ban on third-party sales in the UK is drawing near, which is a great move forward, plus California’s recent announcement about pets in pet stores. Plus, the first state in Australia bans puppy mills.

Holly tries to stump Victoria with a holiday-themed edition of the Animal Academy.

Ask Victoria questions include:

• Pit bull doesn’t like going into her kennel when placed there while her family goes away on vacation.
• 7-month old ‘Morky’ won’t leave his female owner’s side at work, in bed or anywhere else.
• 11 year old lab constantly pulls on lead, meaning he can’t be taken out as much. What harness will help with his leash-pulling?
• First-time dog owner asks how to establish safe barriers in the yard without adding a fence.
