The interesting research done specifically on adolescent dogs and the parallels to human teenage behavior. We also share real life strategies for surviving our least favorite age range in dogs.

In today's episode Nikki West joins me to share her training journey. Nikki started training under a Caesar Milan mentor and was excited to get started but slowly started to realize the holes and fallout of that style of training. Nikki then learned from a more traditional obedience trainer. She dove into that style of training including using pinch collars and e collars. After using those tools for a few years she started to see the negative effects and abusive that was happening and made a change.

Nikki took it upon herself to learn and research to find a more kind, compassionate, and ethical approach to training. Nikki now chooses to train without punishment or pinch collars and e collars. Nikki shares how transformative her new approach has been and how her personal dogs and clients are thriving.
