Today I sat down with Zach Caton from Revolutionary Dog Training. Zach is a dog trainer who specializes in addressing behavioral issues—and most of the time, it’s not the dog’s fault. We talked about how some behaviors are rooted in genetics, how play is the most effective training tool, and why it’s so important to have a trainer involved when picking out a dog or raising a puppy.We also got into some fascinating stuff, like the power of a dog’s sense of smell, their connection to wolves, and how Zach actually trains his dog to help out with garden chores. This episode is full of insight for anyone who loves dogs, works with them, or is just curious about how deep that bond can really go.🎧 Tune in and don’t forget to check out Zach’s work.#DogTraining #RevolutionaryDogTraining #BehavioralTraining #PlayBasedTraining #GardenDogs #DogSmarts #WolvesToDogs #PuppyRaising #HomesteadDogs #PodcastEpisode—Connect with Jack:Instagram: @urbanabundanceflWebsite: www.urbanabundance.comConnect with Zach:Instagram: @zach.catonYouTube: @RevolutionaryDogTrainingWebsite: www.revolutionaryk9.life—Urban Abundance is helping South Florida residents transform any yard or lawn into a beautiful, and functional edible landscape.Fruit trees, vegetable gardens, food forests, pollinator plants, you name it!
