With so many conflicting online opinions - especially when it comes to dog training methods, tools, and dare I say it… the e-collar - I thought I'd reach out to one of the best minds in the industry to finally put some of these arguments to bed.

So, in today’s video, I’m joined by dog trainer, neuroscientist, and queen of dog training science, Dr. Melanie Uhde.

If you feel like you're being pulled from pillar to post and drowning in conflicting information, you definitely don’t want to miss the next 60 minutes of pure dog training scientific gold.

If you’ve got a reactive dog? Then this episode isn’t just helpful - it’s essential.

I’m joined by Michael Ellis for a rapid-fire masterclass  that gives you a foolproof path from reactivity to neutrality. We’ll answer: the starting block exercises that 99% of people ignore; exactly what to do the moment your dog explodes; and the step-by-step progression from 100ft out to your dog being able to tolerate dogs in their space from just a few feet away.

Like I said, if you have a reactive dog, it would be Criminal to miss this - pen and paper at the ready. Enjoy!

Editor’s note: Episode 58 contains absolutely no structured dog training content - just a rambling chat between Jacob and Kirky, and quite frankly, some extremely inappropriate games. If you’re here for practical advice or behaviour insights… skip this one.

But if you fancy a laugh, want to escape the seriousness of the world, or just enjoy a completely unfiltered chinwag between two unqualified philosophers - this might be for you.

Let this be a lesson for the boys to start preparing, as there is absolutely nothing of value in this episode. And quite frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Listen at your own discretion.

The boys dedicate this one to Uncle Glenn Cooke x
