Dog Trainer's Podcast

Okay, guys!
Time to get down to business. Having been in the dog training world for a while, Brent and Mariano have noticed something that is quite common among newer trainers. That is that they can be very competent in their understandings of each and every individual module that training dogs must learn. Yet despite this, they can often suffer from lack of understanding of exactly when or how they can progress the dog further into its training program. Moving a dog through its phases of training is something that varies so much from dog to dog. It can be difficult to put into words exactly what an experienced trainer looks for when deciding whether or not to push the dog further. that's where we come in! Come join us as we discuss the phases of dog training, their individual intricacies, and what we look for when deciding to move from one to the next. Thanks for listening!

E-collar training is, without a doubt, the most polarizing training method in the dog training world. With such strong opinions on either side, Brent and Mariano decided to enlist some help to dissect such a dense and hot topic. We've enlisted the help of our friend Shona Smith, the WeHo Dog Trainer. She's an amazing trainer with a passion for e-collar work and the freedom that it can bring to a dog's life. Together, the three of us take a deeper look into the world of e-collar training. We cover the public perception, the science behind the method, good and bad practices, and more. We're grateful for all of the support that you guys have given us so far! And we're excited to bring you yet another deep-dive into the world of dog training. Thanks for listening!

Hi everyone, Mariano and Brent here! We are excited to bring you a very special episode of the Dog Trainer's Podcast. We want to answer the big question that people have been asking online. Why is dog training important? There's no quick and easy answer. Especially when painted in the light of all our current situations. Rescues and shelters are being completely shut down. People have been stepping up to help these animals who need to be placed or face euthanasia. It's heartwarming to hear about all of those who are willing to help however they can. As dog trainers, it's our job to help these people on their mission to save as many lives as possible. This is no easy task! So we've decided to enlist the help of our good friend and excellent dog trainer, Corey Chavez. Together, the three of us tackle the serious task of trying to explain just how invaluable it can be to train your rescue dog. We would link to thank Corey for his help. We would like to thank all of those who are stepping up to help these animals in need. And we would like to thank you for listening!

Thank you for joining us for this very special episode of DTP. Brent and Mariano are stepping out of traditional format in order to bring you something totally new! They've decided to dedicate an entire episode as a response to the very well known podcast, Stuff you should know. Stay tuned as Brent and Mariano discuss Chuck and Josh's episode of SYSK - How dog training works. What they agree with, and what they don't. The in's and out's of different training methods, and how they affect the dog training community as a whole. Thanks for listening!

Which dog training collar is best? This is one of the most frequently searched dog training based questions on the net. Brent and Mariano discuss the pros and cons of various training collars. They dive into the major factors that may contribute to choosing a certain collar over another. As well as some of the more persuasive stigmas that surround some of these collars, and how far these tend to deviate from the truth of what the collar is designed to do. Thanks for listening!

Why is dog training important? This is a question that is asked quite a bit maybe because owners can have a hard time understanding how teaching obedience commands can transform a dog over time. Maybe because training programs in the past haven't properly explained the "WHY" behind it all. Maybe knowing "WHY" can really help the "HOW". We believe that understanding why it is important is critical to our ultimate goal which is to help as many dogs and owners as we can. But every journey begins with a first step and this is ours. Stay tuned as we discuss why dog training can be so much more powerful and helpful than you might think. Not only for the owner but four the dog as well. Training does wonders to build deeper connections between dogs and owners which ultimately leads to a richer relationship between them. It's so much more than just teaching a dog to sit and stay. Stick around as we explain why. Thanks for listening!
