It happens to all of us. Our dog gets away from us, our dog drags us down, our dog bites the plumber and everything in between. These situations are not ideal but they do happen and in today's episode I break down strategies to use in the moment as well as what to reflect on. Once we reflect we can create a game plan going forward to set everyone up for better success.

In this replay episode, my special guest Kassidi Jones joins me to talk about the uncomfortable but true history of pitbulls and racism. We talk about the long history of racism in our country and how pitbulls and other "guard dogs" were perceived. We highlight how white saviorism is perpetuating racism in todays culture of pitbulls and rescue. Huge thank you to Kassidi for this enlightening and nessecary conversation.

In this episode I talk about the difference between things that are innately aversive and things that our dogs learn are aversive. I also discuss why I choose to avoid using aversive tools in training and the reasons why it can negatively impact our dogs.
