🦴 Canine Caregivers...what kind of long-lasting chew treats do you give to YOUR dog? 🐩 

🎙In S03E003 of the My Favorite Bitch podcast, I talk about some of the chew treats we have tried with our 2-year-old Labrador retriever Moxie. 

Some work, some don't. 

As a dog mom to a food-motivated aggressive chewer, I have to get creative when it comes to treats designed to last longer than a few seconds. 

⚠️ I also have to be vigilant and careful. Few breeds can work through a rawhide like a young Lab. 

To enrich, stimulate, occupy, and settle Moxie, we use a variety of options. 

Some are controversial. Keep the preaching and judgment out of the comments. If you are triggered, move on. 

Great alternatives, hacks, and other positive ideas are welcome. 

⭐️ So what chew treats do YOU give to your dog, and why?

Today was the first day I had to use my pepper spray on an unleashed dog. 🔥

In S03E001 of the My Favorite Bitch podcast, I recount my recent experience with an aggressive dog in my neighborhood and why I finally used my 'chemical incapacitant."

Whether walking alone or with my dogs, over the years I have had many encounters with unleashed dogs in public places. 

I occasionally unhook the pink pepper spray from my Mary Poppings Dog Walking Carpet Bag...usually when I am in an area where dogs are known to have come at us in an unfriendly manner.

Just in case.

Just in case the dog racing in my direction is not averted by my confrontational stance, my loud commands, or (rarely) their owner successfully calling them back.

↳ Sometimes they charge out of their yards into the street. 

↳ Sometimes they are unleashed at a park but not fully trained in recall.

↳ Sometimes they just come out of nowhere.

Today Moxie and I had an encounter with a known street charger. For the first time in over two decades, I actually sprayed the device.

Details are in the podcast.

When you are out walking your dog in public, and another dog comes at you unleashed, do you say something? Do you hold back so you don't hurt someone's feelings, or because saying something might make them uncomfortable?

In S03E001, I talk about a trend I have seen where people hold their tongues when they are confronted by an unleashed dog because the other dog's owner might get their feelings hurt.

Check out the episode for my thoughts on this, and how I deal with unleashed dogs and their irresponsible owners. 

Hmmm, I guess I just gave you a hint as to how I feel about this trend. 

For you dog walkers, do you say something when an unleashed dog approaches you in a public area? Or do you bite your tongue?
