March 24 What Quadrant is That?
What quadrant is this? Or even, “is this punishment?” can be worthwhile questions. Or they can be minimizing questions that fail to keep the full spectrum of relationships and emotions front of mind.

March 17 REPLAY: True Healing from Fear
Dog trainers are often tasked with helping dogs feel less afraid of things in their daily environments. This can be loud noises, it can be strangers, or it can even be slick floors or novel sights. The well known stimulus-stimulus pairing approach trainers call counter conditioning is not as effective as it has been made out to be, and this complex emotion requires more nuanced planning. Be sure to check out episode 373, “When Your Dog is Afraid” as well!

February 24 Are We Even Dog Trainers?
If you find yourself asking “when do I actually get to train dogs?” in your role as a dog trainer, you are not alone. There is a place for Dog Training in the world of behavior, but it comes after welfare interventions. The best professionals are good at both, and the excellent ones know what to do, when.

February 17 “Over”-Arousal with Megan Foster
One of the biggest buzzwords in dogdom is “arousal.” Join Sarah and guest Megan Foster for this special crossover episode with the Fostering Excellence in Agility Podcast to discuss what arousal is, what behaviors are actually driven by it, and what to do if you believe your dog to be “wrongly” (or “over”) aroused.

February 10 Shortcuts
If there is a quicker or easier way to get somewhere, why not take that route? So often in dog training we hold ourselves to an unnecessary standard. If the shortcut doesn’t require extra work, doesn’t cause anyone distress, and allows you to get the desired outcome faster, then take it!

February 03 Soft, or Sick?
Dogs want to remain in attachment to us; so when they have a hard time participating in our sports or games sometimes training is the culprit but not always. What if the dogs we label “soft” are actually sick?

January 27 Fear, Anxiety, and Pessimism
It is common for fear, anxiety, and a general lack of confidence to be confused in both the professional and guardian space. Understanding the difference between these three, and therefore how to treat them, is vital to addressing these welfare-threatening mindsets our dogs experience.
