Renee’s Radio Show
“Thursday in the Doghouse”
For several years, I hosted a weekly 30 minute talk radio program on WNJC – 1360 AM called “Thursday in the Doghouse.” The program was on for 30 minutes each Thursday and we discussed all sorts of issues concerning our canine companions. My program was all about educating you, the dog-owning community about every aspect of dogs. If you want to gain a better understanding of canine behavior, please check out my podcasts from these shows. You will hear interviews with well-respected authors, veterinarians, other trainers and dog owners too. We talked a lot about puppies and their needs. We discussed housetraining methods and why so many people want to pull their hair out during the early days of raising puppies. We talked about the challenges of living with adolescent dogs, and we learned about the needs of the elderly dog. Several programs were about the different breeds and how people wind up with the wrong breed of dog for their family’s lifestyle. The subject of dogs is limitless.

In 2004, I was invited to train puppies in the New Jersey area for the Northstar Foundation. Northstar breeds Golden Retrievers as service dogs primarily for children who are autistic or who have seizures. Teaching puppies is always fun, but learning about Autism and working with the families and the children who suffer from these disorders has been a hugely rewarding and educational experience for me! Thank you, Patty Dobbs Gross for inviting me to participate in your organization.
I used to do a radio show called “Thursday in the Doghouse” on local station WNJC-1360AM. I had to give up doing my program due to some serious health issues in 2012, but many of the podcasts are right here on my website. Each podcast lists the topic that was discussed on that day. If you want to save the podcast to your own computer or portable media player, right-click the link and save it:-) So, sit back, relax, listen and learn a lot about dogs, their behaviors, and how to effectively train our favorite companion pet.
Testimonials
Testimonials & Photos From My Clients
About 8 months ago we adopted a mixed 35 lb. dog named Lily. We already had a 4 year old Maltipoo, named Penny who we thought needed company. Well, Lily was too big and too energetic for my little Penny. Life with these two untrained dogs was a living nightmare. Something had to give. I called an obedience school and shared my situation. They suggested I call Renee and she would help us. We set up 4 sessions with both our dogs. When she arrived she listened to my husband and I speak and we shared our challenges. She also watched both dogs as Penny was not being friendly at all to Lily who just wanted to play with her. After following through with practicing some training and behavior modification, things started to get better in 2 weeks. Lily now goes to day camp 2x a week. Penny gets her alone time. My house is back to normal. Our dogs behave much better now. We have a much better understanding of what they need. Both will now focus better on us and what we ask them to do. We were taught by the best. If you have a nightmare situation Renee will work you thru it and follow up with emails and many informational instructions. You will have all you need to remedy any situation you may have. I would recommend her for sure.
