Catastrophic thinking is something that I observe a lot when it comes to in dog training, dog behavior, and dog guardians. One of the major ways I see this thinking being thrown around is using it as justification for aversive and inhumane training methods.

In this episode, I talk all about the pressures of having an adventure dog and how to handle them. One of the main challenges when hiking and camping with your dog is managing the duration of the activity. Hiking often takes two to five hours, which is much longer than your typical daily walk. I also share practical tips and tricks to help you and your dog handle these extended adventures, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for both of you.
