In this guest episode, I'm joined by Dr. Melanie Uhde, Canine Decoded, to discuss the importance of stress and resilience in dog training, specifically in the context of scent detection. We explore the idea that inducing low levels of stress can actually cultivate resiliency in dogs and the difference between productive and unproductive stress and how exactly we can "micro dose" our dogs. Fellow scentwork nerds, this episode is for you! You can check out Dr. Melanie's incredible background and accomplishments on her Canine Decoded website. She also has a YouTube account under the same name that is definitely worth a follow as she shares so much theory there in a really relatable way. Let me know what your takeaways are from this episode, I would love to hear from you! Check out the show notes for this episode!
