In the first episode of Ruff Around The Edges I talk to Kate Oates about her Australian Shepherd Vader.

It seems only right she be the first to be featured on the show as she inspired the name.

We talk about all the small things that in combination led to his reactivity, and about the the stress she felt when she got a warning from the municipality threatening her with a $2000 fine if Vader wouldn’t stop barking.

We discuss how we each deal with “my dog is friendly” people and what feelings these people invoke, how she got around to telling people “my dog bites” in order to keep them at bay, and what finally led her to not only try force free training but to become a force free trainer herself.
