Canine Conversations - Dog Training Podcast

I have interviewed many champions and world champions in protection dog sports. For this podcast I sat down with Mia Skogster of Finland who is a 2x World IGP Champion in the FMBB. We talked about her passion for dogs, dog training, completion and breeding. What it takes to be a champion and how much love and dedication it takes to train a world champion dog.

IGP is a very tough sport and getting into the mind of a trainer like Mia will shed some insight to anyone who is interested in learning more about dogs, dog training and dog sports. We also talk about the important roles that working dog sports play for the world as a whole and I think this is a very interesting topic.

This discussion is sure to ruffle some feathers as Michael, Bart and I discuss everything that is going on in dog training, but everyone is afraid to talk about. This includes the radical shift in dog training language and methodologies and how that will affect dogs. The bans on training tools that are being attempted here in the USA and the ones that have taken place in many European countries and what that means for the future of dog training. We discuss the use of the ecollar and the stigma that surrounds it as well.

As we see people trying to ban tools and dog sports, we should understand that this will inevitably mean an end to dogs as we know them and owning dogs as pets. A very sad state of events for anyone who loves dogs.

I've known Bart for over 12 years and we've shared some great conversations about dog training and technology over the years. I hope you'll enjoy this chat. It's a no holds barred, gloves off conversation about our passion for dog training. T

Dog Sports such as IGP / Schutzhund / IPO, Ring Sports and others are under attack. Whether you are interested in dog sports or not, this should concern you. These attacks come from people who know little about dogs and dog training.

In this interview I speak to 2X World FMBB IGP Champion Florian Knabl and his wife Patricia Pehrsson about K9 and Sports, an organization that is uniting dog sports enthusiasts to help fight for the future of all dog sports.

Here are some links to K9 and Sports: Website: https://k9-and-sports.com/support-k9-and-sports/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/K9andsports-103569182649800/ instagram: https://instagram.com/k9andsports?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2T= Check my online dog training lessons: https://robertcabral.com Check my online dog trainer program: http://shelterdogtraining.com My logo shirts, hats, t-shirts and more: https://robertcabral.com/shop It is also important to remember that supporting K9 and Sports further helps the future of well bred dogs that go on to be pets, companions, and working dogs in fields such as police and military, search and rescue / SAR, detection dogs and more. #dogsports #ipo #workingdog

Police dog stories always interest me, and hone you have access to a guy like Steve "Zane" Stoops there are no shortage. I often refer to Steve as my brother from another mother. He has more experience when it comes to police and military dogs than just about anyone out there.

In this episode we talk about some great "Muzzle Stories." These are all real life instances where a muzzled police k9 has saved a life. Really great information that relates to police work and understanding the lifesaving work that police dogs do every day.

There are dogs and then there are police and military dogs. The most elite of all dogs are those that serve in the Special Operations Divisions of the US Military. These are the dogs we're discussing in this podcast. Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds and more. Ken Lichlider is known for training these dogs as well as deploying more working dogs during some recent US military operations than the US Military.

Ken is the owner, operator and chief training instructor at Von Liche Kennels. You may recognize him from his show on Nat Geo Wild "Alpha Dogs." This conversation opens a lot of conversations that have NEVER been discussed. The real people who trained and provided these dogs, not the imposters you see on the internet and social media.

The Belgian Malinois in John Wick Part 3 Parabellum were among some of the most awesome dogs I've ever seen in a movie. The training, the obedience and the bite work was amazing. So where did these dogs come from? I found out in this conversation with Kenny Licklider of Vohne Liche Kennels. We sat down to a few chats and this one gives you an idea. We also discussed the Maliherd (Belgian Malinois x German Shepherd that he sold to the movie DOG with Channing Tatum.

This podcast has three parts. 1. the John Wick Parabellum Belgian Malinois 2. the dog(s) from the movie Dog with Channing Tatum 3. some behind the scenes stuff from Ken's TV series Alpha Dogs!

Ken is known best for his work with the US Military war dogs, providing dogs for the most elite US forces. We touch on some of that in this chat as well, but much more of that to come in the Interview Podcast.

There's a lot to love in this podcast including the behind the scenes stuff about these dogs, where they came from, who they were, what he thought of the training and Kenny's thoughts on Halle Berry as a dog handler.

We also touch on Ken's show that ran on Nat Geo Wild "ALPHA DOGS." This show featured the work of Vohne Liche Kennels with police and military units and was a huge hit.

California Assembly Bill AB 742 would try to eradicate the use of police dogs, and that is a big problem for safety in our cities.

Everyone can agree that crime is out of control in many cities and states - including here in California. I got the unique opportunity to interview California Senator Kelly Seyarto who has been quite vocal in his support of police and his opposition of this bill. Our chat will help you better understand how the laws are proposed and ultimately passed.

Even if you're not in California, this is a great watch because these radical policies may come to your city one day.

Here are the links to find what committee hearings are scheduled: Senate: https://www.senate.ca.gov/calendar Assembly: https://www.assembly.ca.gov/schedules-publications/todays-events There, you can view each committee and the floor agendas to see bills that will be heard. You can watch a video, listen in, and find call-in instructions as well. Make your voice heard wherever you live.

This discussion with Jamie Penrith goes deep into the topic of using aversive tools in order to save not only dogs' lives, but also the lives of other animals such as sheep, cattle and more. Are these tools really aversive? Is aversive training or training that causes discomfort to a dog to accomplish something important cruel? We dive deep into this conversations, take on science based lies and mis-information and so much more. The use of e-collars as a viable methodology of training is currently under great attack by a very small but vocal group - the truth of using electronic training collars is one f many key points in this discussion.

Please listen and share! This is an awesome chat with a dog trainer from across the pond (in England). A very knowledgeable, talented and witty man that I respect and admire. He has a great organization that I support and hope you will too: https://JoinArdo.com

ARDO's aim is educating the public and keeping dogs safe. A most worthwhile cause.

Mike Reaver of Adlerhorst K9 has been involved in police dogs for most of his life. The son of Dave Reaver, founder of Adlerhorst K9 and the father of "police dogs." Mike and I finally got a chance to sit down and talk about police dogs, buying, training and selling them and most importantly the lives they save. Adlerhorst has placed thousands of police dogs, military k9 and personal protection dogs over the last 50+ years.

We discuss the critical topic of CA Assembly Bill AB 742 - the bill that aims at eliminating police dogs as we know them. This is dangerous for police officers and deadly for citizens that are protected by these dogs every single day. This chat is one of the longest podcasts I've done and I think you'll agree that it could have gone on for a lot longer.

Mike is a man of great character, a guy who loves dogs and speaks from his heart and soul.

California Assembly Bill CA AB740 is being presented by California Assemblyman Corey Jackson. This bill aims at eliminating the use of police canines (k9s) in many situations including apprehending potentially dangerous suspects. He claims the bill will help right the wrongs of the past - a "carryover from a dark past." He uses inciteful language such as: "The use of police canines has inflicted brutal violence and lifelong trauma on Black Americans and communities of color," and more.

This type of language will create knee-jerk reactions among policymakers and place many people, especially those in under-served communities in great danger. We've seen the problems things like defunding the police does to communities and I hope this video will open people's eyes to the true benefit of police canines.

Michael Goosby is a decorated LAPD police officer, he served as chief K9 trainer for the LAPD and has been a police officer for over 30 years! I can't imagine a person better qualified to talk on this topic than him. This chat will give you great insight from a man of the highest character, a police k9 expert, and a man of color who cares about people.

I hope that Assemblyman Jackson will watch this video and rethink his position or at least sit down with someone like Michael to educate himself on this topic. I'm assuming he didn't before proposing / writing this bill.

Police dogs SAVE LIVES... lives of black and brown Americans as well as all other law abiding citizens. People have a right to feel safe, in particular those living in high crime neighborhoods - police canines offer that!
