Next Wednesday, Katz on Dogs, my call-in broadcast about dogs, cats, and other animals, debuts on WBTN radio in Bennington, Vt. The permanent time slot will be on Wednesday or Thursday afternoon; this Wednesday is the kickoff.
You can hear this broadcast live from anywhere in the world, no matter where you live. I hope you will call me to talk about your dogs or cats and ask any questions you’d like.
My friend Cynthia Daniello – we met on the first show – just got a deaf dog, and she wants to call me to talk about how to train him. I’m reading about it now. That’s the kind of thing we talk about.
The station number is 802 442-1010.
1.To hear the broadcast, go and download a free radio app like Tunein.com for your Iphone or Ipad or computer. Every local radio station is now a national or even international radio station.
You can also try iHeartRadio, RadioApp, myTunerRadio. TuneIn radio works with Android so does AudialsRadioApp and PCRadio. All of these are free.
(Lots of room to grow. A great creative opportunity for me. (I am not paid in any way for my broadcast.))
2.Then, search for WBTNAM.org or WBTNAM1270 and listen live.
It’s really that simple. In a month or so, the station is also going FM, which will give it a wider and broader reach.
3. Call in: We are safe and civil. 802 442-1010.
We welcome callers from everywhere. WBTN is a community radio station, a cause close to my heart. I hope the broadcast will help this station grow, they have a vigorous new team here and are soon going FM.
Zinnia will be coming with me for the broadcasts.
Most of the people reading this are familiar with my worship; my goal is to produce an intelligent, respectful, and most important, useful program that will help people looking for help.
We discuss how to get a dog, train a dog, live with a dog, and understand the complexities and challenges of our emotional connection to our dogs.
I love talking to callers rather than talking to myself. The show depends on that. Don’t be shy. We are safe and friendly; no nastiness permitted: 802 442 1010.

Hello Mr. Katz,
Maybe you know all about this, in which case never mind, but the Monks of New Skete in Cambridge NY train their own monastery German Shepherds using silent hand signals. Maybe a dog who doesn’t hear would like learning visual signs? Their training looks expensive, but the monastery also publishes dog training books. I haven’t read the books and have never trained a dog and am not an Orthodox monk, but your Cambridge public library carries four of their titles. Best wishes, Mary
Mary, thanks, my blog is not a local blog, but a national blog the vast majority of my readers can’t take advantage of the Monks, so I don’t feel easy about guiding them to things they can’t use. I’m aware of their work but am not familiar with how it would apply to deaf dogs, so I can’t recommend it. I am familiar with visual hand training and am looking forward to talking about it on the show. The programs I’ve found use sound and light and visual signs and work well.
In one blog you have tunein.com and on another you have tune in.org. I am confused! Which is it? Please and thanks.
You can find it very easily either way on google Lisa…it’s tunein.com
