    Episode 9: Learning about the Cincinnati Zoo's cat ambassador program and the dogs who are raised with cheetahs
    Nov 13 2024
    Guest:
    Linda Castañeda
    Lead Trainer for the Cat Ambassador Program
    at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

    About Linda:
    Linda grew up in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles but was inspired by watching David Attenborough throughout her childhood. She was immersed in nature when she attended Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, where she earned a bachelor’s in Biology. After starting her biology career in field research in Eastern Oregon and then in West Africa, she decided to meld her passions for conservation and animals by making her way into the zoo field. Linda attended the Exotic Animal Training and Management (EATM) program at Moorpark College in Moorpark, CA and found her way to the Cincinnati Zoo as an intern, then a seasonal summer hire. Linda had a brief stretch in Chicago at Lincoln Park Zoo before making her way back to Cincinnati Zoo. She spends her day working with a variety of African species, including cheetahs, servals, a porcupine, a red river hog and domestic dogs and cats. While Linda is obsessed with cheetahs, she also works with global fishing cat conservationists through the Fishing Cat Conservation Alliance, where she serves on the board.

    What you will learn in this Episode:

    What is the Cincinnati Zoo Cat Ambassador Program, how did it start and why is it important?

    What types of training does Linda and her staff do with the cheetahs?

    Why do they raise baby cheetahs with dogs? How can you help?

  • Episode 7: Parenting A Dog And A Human Toddler

    Episode 7: Parenting A Dog And A Human Toddler
    Jun 3 2024
    Are you a parent of a baby or toddler…and a dog? This episode is for you!

    In my last episode, I spoke with my own teacher and mentor, Jennifer Shryock, owner and founder of Family Paws® LLC, about preparing for life with a baby and dog. I encourage you to go back and listen to that if you are an expecting parent.

    This time Jen and I talk about parenting a toddler and a dog together. How to plan for minimizing stress, safety and getting everyone’s needs met.

    That can be a challenge. I hope that this parenting discussion about families with a toddler and a dog will be helpful!

    About Jennifer Shryock, CDBC: Jennifer Shryock is owner and founder of Family Paws® LLC. She is a certified dog behavior consultant (CDBC), has a bachelor’s degree in special education, with over 30 years’ experience. She has served on multiple boards, including the International Childbirth Education Association, and was vice president of Doggone Safe, a non-profit dedicated to dog bite prevention and victim support. A recognized expert on dog and baby/toddler interactions and safety, Jen has mentored hundreds of dog professionals, written and spoken extensively about these topics including in media such as The Wall Street Journal and Martha Stewart LIVING.

    While working with a rescue organization from which she adopted her dog, Jen found herself supporting families with babies or young children overwhelmed by the challenges of their situations. The need she saw for support and education led her to build resources for new and expecting families. Family Paws® offers the highly endorsed international program Dogs & Storks® for expecting and adopting families, Dogs & Toddlers™, and educational programs for dog professionals globally. I am one of hundreds of licensed Family Paws parent educators worldwide who have completed Jen’s 13-week program to support young families.
