Carol Borden on clicker training and why it's not a good tool for human-dog communication

Clicker Training—Good for Dolphins, Not So Much for Dogs

This show explores all aspects of communication between people and dogs — whether they are K-9 partners in military work, purpose-bred and trained service dogs, competitors in dog sports, or pets — from a newly-adopted senior dog to a young puppy. The show’s philosophy is that dog training is people training: people need to understand dogs from the canine perspective so they can live and work together harmoniously. Tracie has numerous guests and co-hosts, including Carol Borden, the Founder/Director of Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs, which are purpose-bred and trained working dogs. Many GOOD DOGS! shows originally featured three veteran trainers — Gayle Watkins, Lise Pratt and Marcy Burke — who bred agility performance Golden Retrievers. Theme song “My One Best Friend” by Jasmine Tea.
