The One About Hound Dogs: Catch us on With a Dog Podcast (again!)
We are back back back again! Jonathan and I were thrilled to be invited back to With a Dog Podcast, this time with friend Charlotte with Dogs. It only felt fitting to get together with host Carly to talk about our favorite niche subject: hounds.
As a lifetime subscriber to the “hound dog cult” — as we joke in the episode, it was so fun to tell the whole world about the magic of the misunderstood hound dog. From their very Americana history to their very specific personality traits, this episode could have easily gone on for hours. If you have a hound, or are considering adopting one, this is the episode for you to get the real truth and tips on raising a happy hound.
Episode Description from With A Dog:
This week I speak with Charlotte and Ashley, who are two fellow foxhound dog moms but also two former guests of the podcast! This is a long episode because we wanted to talk about our hounds ALOT, which comes as a surprise to no-one.
This is a great episode if you have a hound dog or are curious about the hound breeds. We mainly talk about foxhounds and other large hound breeds but unfortunately weren’t able to talk about the history of all different hounds or some of the smaller hounds like beagles or bassets. However, much of the information about behavior is applicable to hound dogs on a whole.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
Our dogs are genetically related!!
The history of foxhounds and how its intertwined with American history.
Their energy level isn't as high as you’d expect from a working breed.
They are very adaptable to new situations and overall very tolerant and independent which makes them great family dogs.
Why traditional training doesn't work very well for hounds.
How to train them passively, especially with vocal commands and through modeling behavior from other dogs.
Reasons why we love life with a dog!
