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.

[Click on image for audio] - Attending a well-designed puppy class is one of the most important things you can do for any puppy that is 8 to 16 weeks of age. This is a critical time for a puppy, one where they are most open to new experiences. That ability doesn't end at 16 weeks but acclimating your puppy to new places, things, people and situations becomes significantly more difficult. 

This is also a great time to start training so that you can avoid letting yourself and your pup develop bad habits which then need to be changed. A puppy class will discuss puppy socialization and also typically address puppy issues such as; play biting, the chewing of inappropriate items, jumping up on people, housetraining, and general puppy management and training.

We have puppy classes starting at Green Acres every Thursday evening and every Saturday morning. Call us for details.
