Hey guys, Mariano here!
Brent and I are lucky enough to have had an awesome conversation with America's Canine Educator, Tommy Davis!! In this episode, we learn about Tommy's journey into the world of dog training. We discuss his life before Upstate Canine Academy, his ambitions and mentors, share a few war stories and so much more!
If there's one thing that I know for sure, It's that Tommy is an awesome guy and we had a blast hanging with him. Come join us as we discuss training, dealing with negativity online, the importance of creating good content, and so much more! Thanks for listening!

Hey everyone, Mariano here!
Brent and I are excited to bring you episode 25 of DTP. In this episode, we discuss the difficulties of dealing with clients when it comes to crate training. Often times owners can resist the idea of crating their dogs because they feel guilty about it. The issue there is that crate training has a ton of benefits for our dogs. These include benefits that help us in the training process, but they extend much further than that.
Brent and I can't help but wonder if this is due to many trainers struggling to explain all of the benefits of crate training your dog. This is exactly why we figured we'd give it our best shot! We go over the benefits of the crate, tell some stories of clients, go over some hypotheticals, and much more! We hope that this brings value to anyone listening who may be wary of crating their dogs, or trainers who have a hard time explaining things to owners. Thanks for listening!

Hey guys, Mariano here!
In this episode, Brent and I wanted to talk in-depth about dealing with clients with aggressive dogs. Years of experience have taught us that dealing with aggressive dogs can be a tricky thing to do. Not only because of the dog but because sometimes the owners can present their own challenges as well. In this episode, we dive into this dense topic. We decided to do this by dividing things up into three categories. These are before, during, and after. Stay tuned as we give some helpful tips. We go into detailed examples. And much more. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back, Guys!
Mariano here again. After taking some time last episode to thank all of our amazing listeners we figured we'd dive right back into work with another deep-dive into the world of dog training. This week's topic is..... Dominance!
Now, Brent and I are fully aware of just how touchy of a topic this is. As well as how complex and misconstrued it tends to be. This is exactly why we've decided to take a crack at it. In this episode, we look into what the public perception of dominance is, as well as the technical definition of it as to show just how far pop-culture has taken the term. We then do our best to describe dominance, and it's relevance to dog training.
Mix this in with some tips and examples of good practices for an adequate understanding. As well as some examples of bad practices and what you should avoid. Some insightful stories from both of us and you've got what may be our personal favorite episode to date! Thanks for listening!
P.s. Defining and describing dominance is NOT an easy task! with that in mind, we'll be revisiting this in the future with supplemental information that we think would be helpful for you all. Therefore, I'd like to ask you to please send any questions or feedback regarding this episode to us. You can do this by reaching out to us on any of our major social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) or via email. I'll have all of the contact info listed below. Thanks again for listening!!

Welcome back, everyone!
There has been quite the boom of puppies coming into homes in the last couple of months. With everything that has been going on, it can be tricky to train and socialize a puppy as we would normally be able to do. For this reason, Brent and Mariano want to discuss the reasons behind the current puppy boom. Come hang with us as we get into helpful puppy-raising techniques. We dive into proper training and how we can go about this during this time. As well as an overall masterclass on the importance of proper obedience, routine development, and proper socialization when raising a pup. Thanks for listening!
