The overarching question of where dogs come from, and why it matters, is the topic of discussion as Sarah and return guest Dr Jessica Hekman sit down for a crossover episode with the Functional Breeding podcast to discuss the recent partnership between SPCA Tampa Bay (a shelter) and Pinnacle Pet (a puppy broker)/Sunshine Puppies (a pet store).

The dog training and behavior industry is all abuzz with the conversation of ethics. A field that largely adhered to the LIMA (least intrusive, minimally aversive) principle is now divided once more on this stance. But what does it truly mean to be least intrusive? Doesn’t “least intrusive” imply minimally aversive? Do we need a new model entirely, as those in favor of the newer LIFE (least inhibitive, functionally effective) principle propose? In part one Sarah delves into what it might mean to be least intrusive, and sets the background for the part two conversation which will go into practical applications.
