In this episode, I sit down with Steph to discuss the use of punishment in dog training. We explore the science behind how punishment works and its impact on behavior. I also emphasize that while punishment can be necessary at times, it's important to approach it humanely. If you’ve ever had to use punishment, don’t feel horrible—we’ll guide you on how to do it in a way that’s both effective and compassionate.

In this episode, I talk about pre cursors and their significance for you and your dog, focusing on how they impact your dog’s response to cues. For example, reaching into a treat bag is a pre cursor that signals your dog to expect something in return for a treat. However, problems arise when we’re not aware of these pre cursors and try to replicate a behavior without them, leading to frustration when our dog doesn’t respond as expected.

In this episode, I share my personal experiences living with and training reactive dogs. Reactive behavior is generally characterized by over-the-top responses, such as barking and lunging at people, other dogs, or various stimuli. My goal is to help you understand the contributing factors to reactivity and what they might mean for potential outcomes.

In this episode, I talk about a question I think about a lot, "Should we treat dogs like animals?" and what that means. Dogs are sentient beings with unique emotional needs, preferences, and behaviors. I discuss the importance of acknowledging and honoring these individual differences to ensure their well-being.
