Welcome to Maine’s radio show and podcast all about dogs and cats and the people that share their lives. Our goal is to inform and educate you about the needs and wants of your furry friends so that your lives together can be the best that they can be. 
Kate and I discuss the latest news from the pet world covering a wide range of topics such as; basic healthcare, how to choose a good cat or dog food, training, behavior, and management of your pet, resolving problem behavior, serious health issues, and more. Sometimes a show is just the two of us having a conversation, but we also have guests on the shows from our hometown, Bangor, ME and from all throughout the USA. Veterinarians, authors, trainers, behaviorists, filmmakers, shelter managers, and others have all shared their knowledge with us on The Woof Meow Show.
Whether you listen to our podcast or to the show as it is broadcast on Saturday at 9 AM on Z62 Retro Radio AM620, WZON, and WKIT HD3, we hope you find the show enjoyable and a valuable resource and that you become a regular listener. If you have a topic you would like us to consider for the show, contact me at donh@greenacreskennel.com.

Here at Green Acres Kennel Shop we're making May Dog Bite Prevention month. Why? Because fifty percent of all children will be bitten by a dog during their childhood. That's a statistic we want to help change.
The basic rule that always should be followed with dogs and children is - SUPERVISE AT ALL TIMES.
Consider these steps if you have a toddler in the house:
Do NOT allow a baby or toddler to hug, follow or chase the dog, or pull fur, ears or tail or enter the dogs crate or sleeping area.
Reward the dog with food treats for calm behavior around the toddler.
Give the dog a safe space where they can retreat from the child.
Anytime that a toddler is interacting with a child, an adult must have their hands on the dog.
Keep the toddler away from the dog when the dog is eating.
