Good Dogs! (05-04-2022) #6105: Trainer Julie Forbes (of the video training series \"Puppyhood with Julie Forbes\") discusses what it requires to be called a dog trainer (not much) and how owners can find a kind yet firm trainer for them and their dogs.

Dog Trainers are Like Shrinks — Many are Mediocre!

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.
