Welcome to The Woof Life Show - a podcast created for dog lovers, by dog lovers! Hosted by Lauren Farricker.

In this episode, Lauren chats with Dan and Amy Nykolayko who own the charismatic Cherie the Surf Dog. Cherie has an incredible story that at about 3 months old she was rescued through the French Bulldog Rescue Network from Texas. She came to live in San Diego with a foster family and Dan and Amy were delighted to hear that they were in consideration to adopt Cherie. We chat about the fact that many people believe that adopting a frenchie puppy is impossible.

Life adjusted and Cherie began to enjoy her SoCal life. As they acclimated and helped this puppy get more comfortable they brought her to Rosie’s Dog Beach where she took to the ocean like a duck takes to water. They then enrolled in a dog surfing lesson and Amy and Dan realized that Cherie really enjoyed being together in the ocean.

They trained for a couple of years and began to get more competitive and began to compete in surfing competitions. Many people think that the pups are just the athletes but most people do not know that their humans or handlers have to support and work with the pup to ensure that they are ready. Cherie is now a surfing champion and has competed in more than 16 competitive surfing competitions.

If you’ve always wanted to learn about how and why dogs surf, how to get a French bulldog puppy as a rescue or how to dress your pup in pup-tactic fashion, this is the interview for you!

They previously took professional photos of dancers and wanted to combine their passion as huge dog lovers. The idea evolved and Dancers and Dogs was created by pairing the simple, clean backgrounds, the simple clothing styles, the lighting. They've created a way to show the lighter side of the dance world, since dancers are often depicted as being so serious, and sometimes even unapproachable or like fairy-tale creatures.

If you're looking for a vodka label that also supports dog welfare, look no further than Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Tito’s Handmade Vodka has created Vodka for Dog People, which is their organization that supports dog rescue, animal welfare organizations, and spay neuter programs across America. Looking out for dogs, in particular, has been at the core of Tito’s mission over the past 20 years. Bertito "Tito" Beveridge II first started distilling his now famous vodka in a shack in Austin, Texas. Tito always brought his dog with him to the shack to work all day, where he would put food out and noticed that a handful of strays were being attracted by the food. Tito was struggling to get his business off the ground but he didn't let that stop him from caring for homeless dogs. He then worked to get as many dogs re-homed as possible. Beth joined Tito early on within his journey and because she came from a family where they were all rescuers. Beth worked with Tito and the staff to rescue, re-home and get necessary vet care for the pups including spay and neuter surgeries. Dogs and animal advocacy are intrinsically aligned with success for the Tito’s brand. Over the past 20 years, Tito’s Handmade Vodka has re-homed over 90 dogs out of their corporate headquarters/distillery. Vodka for Dog People has over 2300 partnerships per year with animal welfare programs.

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker has a conversation with Matt Beisner of Zen Dog in LA and the star of Nat Geo Wild’s Dog Impossible Show Note to my listeners, I am obsessed with Dog Impossible and I am so excited to chat with Matt to learn more about the show. Beisner, owner of THE ZEN DOG http://www.thezendog.com , a cutting-edge dog facility in downtown Los Angeles, believes there are no bad dogs and knows every dog is capable of transformation. Through his work at THE ZEN DOG, Beisner risks his life and limbs for these animals because, as he says, “I used to be like them.” After his own life was saved through personal transformation, he rescued a dog, found his calling and came to understand that every relationship, especially that which you have with your dog, only works if it’s based on Respect, Trust and Love. Beisner’s background makes him a fascinating person to chat with, Matt previously struggled with substance abuse and he found himself in jail. While recovering after getting out of jail, Beisner was challenged by an aggressive terrier who was owned by his roommate. That terrier named Kingston proved to be a turning point for him and his transformation. Beisner began to work with this dog and then began to tackle more cases, this was the inception of Zen Dog. Beisner experienced a quick rise to stardom when a celebrity client leveraged Beisner to help with a dog that they were struggling with. His approach that there are no bad dogs make him a final contact for a lot of people who find themselves at their wit’s end. Beisner brings a unique and gentle approach to building relationships with each pet. “I’m a teacher at heart,” states Beisner. “Helping hopeless dogs is my purpose.” Catch up on Dog Impossible on streaming platforms and enjoy this conversation which includes a deep-dive into the case covered in the show.…

Piglet– 2019 Hero Search & Rescue Dog - Interview with Lori Wells 24:18

6 years тому24:18

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Lori Wells who is the dog mom and handler of Piglet who won the 2019 Search & Rescue Hero Dog. But there’s another “Piglet” in town: an eight-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog. This Piglet, a veteran search and rescue dog, is trained and certified to help families in arduous times. Nothing could have prepared Piglet and handler Lori Wells for the inconceivable conditions on a recent deployment. Called to aid in the aftermath of the horrific “Camp Fire” in Paradise, California, this little dog deployed to do all she could to help. Piglet provides a vital service. The value of her work in bringing answers to grieving families is immeasurable. She assists in locating people on land and in water. Once, human searchers spent seven days combing a lake with no luck. On day eight, Piglet deployed and located the subject. She helped the coroner by locating enough bones to reconstruct and positively identify the individual. Lori and Piglet donate hundreds of volunteer hours annually and depart for each call-out with enthusiasm. Traveling thousands of miles a year does not diminish Piglet’s bubbly personality and happy-go-lucky attitude. In her off-hours, she loves making friends. At events she’s always a crowd-pleaser with a wagging tail, signature “smile,” and endless kisses. The 9th Annual American Humane Hero Dog Awards® will premiere on the Hallmark Channel on October 21st at 8pm ET/ PT. The event was hosted by Beth Stern and James Denton and presenters included Kristin Chenoweth, Shannen Doherty, Trevor Donovan, Danielle Fishel, Vivica A. Fox, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jenna Johnson, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ally Maki, Larissa Wohl, Cameron Mathison, Debbie Matenopoulo, Kristoffer Polaha, Brandon McMillan, Barbara Niven, Roselyn Sanchez, Ariel Winter, Eric Winter, and Sofia Wylie.…

From Prison to Beverly Hills - The Journey of Leader Dog Lady – 2019 Hero Guide Dog an Interview with Dawn Rudolph 58:15

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Dawn Rudolph who is the dog mom and handler of Leader Dog Lady who won the 2019 Hero Guide Dog Award. Dawn Rudolph is legally blind and Leader Dog Lady is her guide dog. Dawn shares with The Woof Life show how much her world has changed so much since Lady came into her life. Leader Dogs are the eyes to support their handler and are trained like a Secret Service Agent to put their own life in danger before harm could come to their handler. Leader Dog Lady’s life started in a peculiar way, she lived for the first year of her life with an inmate in Iowa named Kevin. Kevin worked diligently to train her with other inmates as a part of the program through Leader Dogs for the Blind. Interestingly the long-term success rate of pups trained in prisons is better for placement as a lead dog as compared to other training programs. Since Lady came into Dawn’s life, her world has been vastly improved: they travel, they set goals, and conquer challenges like everyone else. Friends and family always ask them Leader Dog Lady what their upcoming adventures will be. They educate people about Leader Dogs for the Blind, go to Lions Club conventions to promote Leader Dogs for the Blind. We attend big events and fundraisers for this wonderful organization. July will be their four-year anniversary as a team. What a beautiful partnership and it’s so incredible to hear about the impact that a dog has on someone’s quality of life. The 9th Annual American Humane Hero Dog Awards® will premiere on the Hallmark Channel on October 21st at 8pm ET/ PT. The event was hosted by Beth Stern and James Denton and presenters included Kristin Chenoweth, Shannen Doherty, Trevor Donovan, Danielle Fishel, Vivica A.
