Let’s be honest, as much as we love to be outside with our dogs, there are days when walks have to be cut short or you can’t swing a multi-mile hike.  In this episode of the pawdcast, Jean and Karen are joined by Dr. Laura Sharkey to discuss getting the most from a short walk and how to create enriching indoor canine activities. Dr. Sharkey is a certified professional dog trainer with a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and the owner of Woofs Dog Training Center in Arlington, Virginia.  The key to success for you and your dog, no matter what the activity, is to let the dog choose and have fun.  Here’s another hint, let them sniff!Dr. Sharkey is an early disciple of positive training and opened Woofs Dog Training Center in 2002.  As a result, she has a significant following in the Washington, DC area.  Her expertise and passion for positive training and behavior has made her a popular national speaker and instructor.  Her work with thousands of families has also led her to develop what she believes is the ideal dog breed – and yes, we chat about that as well!To learn more about Dr. Sharkey’s work and Woofs Dog Training Center visit www.woofsdogtraining.com
