“Your Litter A to Z” with Dr. Gayle Watkins

In this episode of the Good Dog Pod, Good Dog has an exciting announcement! Good Dog Breeders now get free access to Avidog’s “Your Litter A to Z” course. Host Laura Reeves is joined by Good Dog’s Head of Education and Avidog founder Dr. Gayle Watkins to discuss everything this course has to offer, for both new and experienced breeders. 

What is “Your Litter A to Z”? This is Avidog’s flagship course on dog breeding, developed by Gayle over the last 25 years. With an original value of $497, Good Breeders can now access it completely free! It includes 18 modules on everything from laying the stage for a breeding, to whelping, and finally to sending the puppies to their new homes. Each module comes with instructional videos, checklists, and written chapters. 

What else is included in this course? In addition to the course itself, Gayle hosts live coaching calls twice a month for Q&A and discussions for all course users. There is also a private Facebook group for all Good Dog Breeders, where you can ask questions and receive answers from breeder community members and Good Dog’s Breeder Advisors. Don’t forget to check out Straight from the Whelping Box and Straight from the Center of the Ring for more content on breeding and showing dogs!

How should I best utilize this course? Go through the course from the beginning or jump to the module you need. This course is intended for both new and seasoned breeders, and Gayle herself uses the checklists for every litter. The checklists and breeding diary worksheets are easy to use, with clear instructions and tips. The course is updated regularly with the newest dog breeding science and recommendations, to help you produce the healthiest puppies possible.
