Dog Training DisrUPted

Cristina is a Veterinary Surgeon. Author. RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Dermatology.  She shares with us her vast knowledge on senior dogs in respect to health issues, changes, and what to expect.

This fun, casual conversation ventures into chatting about adopting mature dogs, and, well, just how great they are!

I follow our chat by introducing the topic I spoke on at the Animal Behavior Society Conference 2022. You may have heard me say, multiple times, "There is no one right way to work with a dog," and in this episode I explain what I mean. Not only should the method match the reason for the behavior and the personality of the dog, but also, because of brain development in different life stages, some methods are simply more effective than others at different ages.  Find out why!

Thanks for your interest, and as always, feedback and questions are welcome.

Hello and thanks for joining me!

I am guessing most of you are not proponents of methods that take a "dominance" approach. What does this really entail? And how is it different from Alpha and Pack Leader?

There are common exercises in dominance training that may not seem as though they would have a negative effect, and, in fact, are part of mainstream dog training.  Is going through a door first harmful or simply counterproductive? Can this routine lead to dominance, and will that achieve the goal of addressing unwanted behavior? How do dogs perceive these exercises and the theory of dominance?

This episode raises some interesting thoughts on how mainstream dog training can, unintentionally, decrease the bond between you and your dog, and effect the success of your training routine.  Or perhaps your dog simply thinks you are not very bright!

I then provide some suggestions for exercises to try at home to improve the bond and increase your communication with your dog.

Welcome!  In this episode I refer to the studies by Dr. Kathy Murphy, owner of Barking Brains, and a neuroscientist who specializes in brain development in respect to behaviors and the success (or lack there of) of training methods in different life stages. 

This episode focuses on the adolescent stage, describing brain development and how it effects behaviors. There are a lot of comparisons to teenagers!

The adolescent stage is where I have devoted my three decades of study and work to, and where Canine CBT is particularly effective.  Find out why based on neuroscience!

For a more indepth study of this topic, I suggest taking the course by neuroscientist Dr. Angelova through the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy.

Welcome to Dog Training DisrUPted, by UPWARD Dogology

This episode features animal lover, professional swimmer, writer, speaker, and creator of peace, Lynne Cox.

Lynne's new book, Tales of Al, The Water Rescue Dog, is a heartwarming story about a dog expected to be an "easy train" by the elite Italian Water Rescue Dog Team. Lynne recounts her visit to Italy, meeting all the dogs, and sharing the story of Al, (well, not the end of the story!)

Lynne is an American long-distance open-water swimmer, who is best known for being the first person to swim between the US and the Soviet Union in the Bering Strait, a feat which has been recognized for easing the Cold War tensions between Ronald Reagan  and Soviet Leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. She still swims every morning, preferably with dogs, and she is such an inspiration for so many people. I have the utmost respect for Lynne. 

Following our chat, I talk about cognitive skills, and they are harnessed differently for different activities, and the importance of adapting to dog's personalities.

You can purchase Lynne's book here Tales Of Al: The Water Rescue Dog, Book by Lynne Cox (Hardcover) | www.chapters.indigo.ca Learn more about Lynne and all her accomplishments here Lynne Cox - Wikipedia

Leash walks can be frustrating when dogs are pulling, putting on the brakes, or  lolly-gagging.  Should you be expected to continuously turn around, or simply allow your dog to sniff everything? Should you be expected to have decompression walks that are really only decompressing for your dog?

In this ep I talk about common recommendations, from continuously turning around, standing still, to allowing your dog to sniff and decide the direction (is this a technique?).  I talk about different apparatuses designed to prevent pulling, and discuss some pros and cons of some popular ones.

I make some suggestions of easy exercises to apply to gain greater focus (no, not treats or the look at me command), and provide suggestions as to how to apply these to your situation and daily life. 

Leash walking is all about having the skills to communicate and provide calm, clear direction. Your dog's perception of you and the environment determines his or her behavior.

NOTE - this is not a training guide. The advice is to be adjusted to your needs and specific situation, and dog.

NOTE - for dogs over six months of age

Does your dog run to the door when you pick up your car keys? Or run to the door with the sound of your partner's car pulling? Or jump off the couch when you click off the tv?

These are triggers that create habits - good habits!  But what about habits our dogs have that are not what we perceive as "good" or "wanted".  These habits lead to unwanted behavior, but mainstream dog training addresses these as "good vs bad behavior", using conditioning methods to change them, which can often fail.

Canine CBT views all behaviors as driven by emotional intelligence and a self-perceived need to do a behavior to achieve a goal. The behavior becomes a habit based on cognitive skills. To change that behavior, we must change perception.

My guest (or, more accurately, me as a guest on his podcast) , Ian Tolson, is an expert in habits - why we have them, how we can change them, and how they effect our behavior.  This episode unfolded from a chat intended to be an episode for Ian's podcast, and turned into a chat on how habits form behaviors, and how we change these behaviors by changing perception. 

Is there much difference between humans and dogs in relation to cognitive skills, emotional intelligence, and behaviors stemming from these?  Find out in this off-the-cuff chat.

I follow this chat with exercises that change a dog's perception of you and your ability to calmly manage situations.

Enjoy Your Learning Journey!

Welcome! Adopting a dog over the age of six months is rewarding and fun. When initially integrating dogs into a family, we can expect some challenges. As with humans, change in eating habits is a common reaction to stress caused by change in environment or physical ailments.  When physically healthy dogs who are adapting well to their new environment refuse to eat, it can be scary and a bit of a mystery for many adopters. Fortunately, their are quick solutions grounded in logic, creativity, and the ability to think like a dog, as well as long-term solutions grounded in Canine CBT which address the root of the problem.

As discussed in the conclusion, here are the links to a few of the many shows I am a featured guest on:

Let's Find Out About Upward Dogology! - YouTube (the Science and Magic of the Human-Animal Bond hosted by Psycologist and filmmaker, Diane Soloman)

Episode 55: Retrain your (and your dog’s) brain with canine CBT (dvm360.com)  Hosted by Veterinarian and CEO of DVM 360, Dr. Adam Christman

So let's unpack what your options are, and how to determine if it is the right one for your dog, Is distraction and avoidance a good idea?  How do we know if we are pushing our pups too far too fast?  You may be surprised by some common signs of progress.

Welcome to  the final episode of 2021!  This episode was a challenge. So much happened in 2021 in relation to spreading awareness of Canine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, making connections, collaborating, and learning about the industry.

I decided to share, in brief,  the pitfalls of the industry, which, for those who listen other episodes, know all too well.  Through the closed doors I received from influential orgs, I learned a lot about the underlying mechanics of the dog world, which, not surprisingly, function much like other industries - ego, greed and personal agendas rank high. 

I took this info and turned it into effective connections and collaborations.  In this episode, I introduce you to changemakers whom you may not be aware of because, like myself, they do not follow the industry norm, and they are not afraid to make waves in the better interest of dogs and the people who love them.

I wish you all the best in 2022 and, as always, I appreciate your support and all you do for the pets in your care. 

Enjoy Your Learning Journey.
