so they love to run long distances so if

you get one make sure you have the time

to take them on a good long walk every

day thanks Chris

Barnett is cued and ready to roll cool

stand by to Rolla and cue the hosts

when the Kidsongs kids went to visit the

firehouse guess who they met the firemen

yes and who else a Dalmatian exactly now

did you ever wonder why firemen and dumb

Mason's hang out together I sure did

why is that Dalmatians used to be stable

dogs and they get along wonderfully with

horses back in the Middle Ages when

people got around in horse and carriages

the Dalmatians used to run alongside the

horses and when there was a fire and the

water wagon would have to get through

the crowded streets the Dalmatians would

run ahead and cheered away so there's a

durable spotted dogs or little heroes oh

sweet

let's go to the fire station where of

course there is the Dalmatian actor

Eddie

[Music]

[Applause]

I wonder if you can help me I'm trying

to side with dog to get well I've got a

beagle named Buddy and a German Shepherd

named rusty there are such great dogs I

recommend that you get two yeah if you

get two they can play with each other

which is good because they won't get

forward yeah but you still have doubled

the work looking after them I'd

recommend an Australian Cattle Dog

that's what I have

they are very independent oh dear there

are so many choices cue now we're off to

the farm where a good friend John Jacob

Jingleheimer Schmidt is gonna lead us in

the signal isn't he the one who says his

name is my name too

what does he mean by that I'm not sure

but it is fun to sing along with

[Music]

[Music]

I've got a door Sheldon puppy

what's a Sheltie they look like

miniature colleagues they're really cute

I didn't know if I should get a puppy or

a grown dog

well puppies aren't readily cute but you

have to train them and that's a lot of

work

yeah they chew everything and you have

to teach them to walk on a leash nicely

and the house break them and teach them

of commands I've been really recommend

then if you get a puppy you go to

obedience class for a couple of bucks to

really train your dog it's worth it mr.

director sir the question time graphic

that you request every day at this time

is cued and ready to roll as soon as you

want it wasn't that special it's time

roll it three two one and take it

we're very excited to have Clint Rowe

dog trainer extraordinaire and it's two

great dogs Beasley and Emily in our

studio today janet veyts is ready to

meet this wonderful group so let's begin

question time Thank You Christian Thank

You Alexandra

good morning Clint and good morning I'm

going speaker hey are all dogs trainable

yes most of them are yeah which dogs are

good for kids to have as pets well that

depends on a lot of factors you've got

to look at the size of your house the

size of your yard who's gonna walk the

dog who's gonna take the dog to the vet

who's gonna take care of him who's gonna

feed him there's a lot of things to

consider

it's a pound a good place to get pets

some of the pounds are yes very good

places because there's a lot of unwanted

dogs can kids train their own dog yes

with proper supervision yes can you show

us something that kids can train their

dogs to do I think the first thing you

might maybe want to try and teach the

dog is a sit because from there you can

go elsewhere

so I'll put her in a stand Emma stand

yeah that's good so I don't even have to

say that to her she'll watch me probably

and this is how you would do it with

your dog Emma good that was a signal and

then I gave the reward to immediately do

you teach your dogs even fancier tricks

yes I do but they're actually behaviors

they're not tricks it's a really

specific behavior and I'll show you one

Beasley and Beasley come on good Beasley

good boy

so I'll start from where I left off with

Emma and I'd give him a sit Q sit very

clear he so he sees me good stay good

walk

Beasley let's say he's got to lay down

in a film and and put his head down I

would go down down good and if he's

tired

head down

this is to sit up easily big good boy

and a foot good nopal good down lie down

stay

loosen stay straighten up stay head down

if in a film he was hurt and he had to

get somewhere this is how I would do it

I was tell him wounded wounded wounded

wounded God you're very good you're very

good

all right forward go pose stay stay

speak speak it speak it all right all

right

and this is why I carry this see because

I have to do this with the actors we

have to get that slime off thank you

very much and thank you good Emily

you've been very good yeah Oh Katie I

just don't know what to do I was so

happy when my parents told me they would

get me a dog but now I don't think it's

such a good idea

are you having a hard time picking one

yeah it sounds like they all have

special needs but I didn't realize how

much time and attention they need they

do take a lot of time and attention but

they pay about ten times over and

friendship and kisses you know I really

need to think about this yeah and now

it's time for that very popular part of

our show Billy Biggles sing-along hi

you're so small

[Music]

but one day see it's gonna change man

they start to get tough

do your best and face changed every day

all it takes is that first step to get

you on your way

[Music]

nini are you having trouble making up

your mind about what kind of dog to get

yeah I'm so confused

there are so many choices and I'm

worried about the responsibilities I

have a lot of homework and I spend a lot

of lifetime practicing my ice-skating

I'm not sure I can give a puppy all the

time it means maybe an older dog that is

already trained would be a better choice

oh that's a good idea but what kind

should I get there are so many choices

okay let's narrow this down describe

your perfect dog for me it's not too big

or not too little it's hair short or

medium it's playful and it's good with

kids but you don't have to take it on

long walks or runs and it's very smart I

knew kids that don't for you an American

mixed breed and there's a big selection

available right now at the pound a mutt

and one that needs a home what a perfect

idea

Thank You Ruby hosts you're on in three

two and in this next song fester major
