  • Connecting Scientific Studies on Dog Cognition to that of Common Dog Behavior Problems and the Best Method to Address Unwanted Dog Behavior.

    Billie uses 4 scientific studies on dog cognition to explain why we need a method grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy to address a common unwanted behavior in dogs over 6 months.

    In this episode we explore four cognitive abilities by introducing the studies which prove dogs have these abilities. I discuss how these abilities, although considered positive, can cause common unwanted behaviors and why suppressing these skills can increase the unwanted behavior.

    Memory,  Emotions, Object Permanence, Object Differentiation, Dexterity, and the ability to understand that an action has a result are some of the recent trends in scientific studies.  If dogs can think cognitively, and their behaviors, whether considered "good" or "bad" (wanted or unwanted) are a result of these skills, we need to harness these skills to understand these behaviors. By remaining under the Operant Conditioning umbrella (positive reinforcement and balanced training), we simply cannot harness their cognitive abilities, which explains why addressing these behaviors is often challenging or impossible.

    NOTE:  At the time of recording this episode, I did not discuss counter conditioning as a method to address unwanted behaviors. There are other episodes which discuss counter conditioning and why it is limiting or ineffective in addressing behaviors.  

    NOTE: You do not need to be a scientist or a certified dog trainer to understand the info in  this episode. If you have questions, please contact Billie at [email protected]

  • Diving Deep into a Scientific Study on Adolescent Dog Behavior. Perhaps the methods we use perpetuate the behaviors associated with adolescence.


    Welcome to the first episode of 2021 where we dissect a scientific study which, although valid and adhering to professional standards, begs the question as to whether the exercise,  grounded in positive reinforcement training used to determine the results,  is a factor in creating the change in behaviors commonly associated with the adolescent stage.

    In other words: are the methods we use to solve the problems actually causing the problems?

    NOTE: You do not need to be a scientist to understand the info in this episode, nor do you need to review the study before hand.

  • Scientific studies and experts validate the need for a formula grounded in C.B.T. for dogs. I talk about the future of UPWARD Dogology.

    Welcome to the final episode of 2020, where I give a short description on my developments with professionals in the early part of 2020 and then moved onto researching and pursuing ways to spread awareness of CBT for dogs by making connections with all kinds of interesting people and professionals.

    I talk about the surge of scientific studies in dog behavior and provide an example of how a common study on object permanence validates UPWARD Dogology.  I then talk briefly about the study by Dr. Naomi Harvey on adolescent dogs, and provide a challenge for the listeners.

    2021 will be all about spreading awareness in the effort to make UPWARD Dogology mainstream. Thank you for all your support.

  • A chat with Dr. Adam Christman, DVM, author, speaker and advocate discusses shelter meds, animal legislation and dog rescue. SnipPet: The importance of delivery combined with content to engage listeners and make an impact.

    Adam is the Chief Veterinary Officer at MJH Life Sciences and oversees the veterinary division that includes Fetch, dvm360,  Firstline and VettED.   He advocates for pet parents and animals and is passionate about spreading awareness on many topics so we decided to loosely focus on shelter vet care, but as what often happens , we talked about a number of interesting topics , including foster care and rescue organizations around the world, legislation protecting animal welfare and why having 4 little dogs is a great way to keep warm in the winter!   I follow our chat with a talk on how expertise and confidence allow for more creative , fun,  diversified  and  ultimately more effective ways of education and advising.

  • Jessica Heaton has worked and volunteered with disabled dogs in Morocco and England and is the author of Pups Paws on Wheels. SnipPet: How scientific studies and hands-on application work together to increase our understanding of CBT for dogs.

    We are excited to introduce Jessica Heaton, who shares with us her experience volunteering in Morocco for a remote rescue organization that specializes in rehabilitating dogs with disabilities. Jessica's knowledge of dogs and her professional and volunteer work with dogs with disabilities inspired her to create a children's book for people of all ages, to spread awareness on the abilities of dogs with disabilities. She donates a portion of her sales back to the dogs in the rescue who "gave" so much to her.

    I follow our chat with a talk on how scientific studies on the ability for dogs to think cognitively validate UPWARD Dogology which is grounded in CBT.

  • Meet 11 yr. old Kash, founder of Kash's Kreations, a small business that donates big bucks to local rescues. Dogs with anxiety are often over-looked. Learn how "productive patience" helps get them adopted.

    Kashton Weinber is an entrepreneur, a volunteer,  artist and a philanthropist.  At eleven years of age, he has made a huge impact on the lives of  animals and the people who help them.  He is the founder of Kash's Kreations and donates money generated from the sales to local rescue organizations, and he has adopted animals, including a very special dog who had a checkered past resulting in anxiety.

    I follow our interview with a quick look into the challenges of adopting or fostering dogs with anxiety and how UPWARD Dogology has helped the people who help these dogs.

  • The dirty topic of "Dominance". Comparing dogs and humans in respect to communication, perception and how we project ourselves with guest Sandra Davis of The PeopleSmart Academy.

    Dominance is a buzzword, and often controversial topic, in the dog world. Why?  Well, it has a negative connotation, yet at the same time, dog owners are often told they need to gain dominance over their dog.  What is acceptable? Is gaining Dominance really our goal? Is expecting our place on the hierarchy ladder and our rules and policies to be respected asking too much?

    This  thought-provoking piece on Dominance is followed by a chat with Sandra Davis, co-owner of The People Smart Academy.  Comparing humans and canines is, again, a controversial topic, yet, as professions, we find it effective (yes, Sandra compares humans to dogs!).  How we express ourselves, read others, teach and coach, and communicate is so important in all we do in life.

  • Holistic Approaches to working with dogs. What do a donkey farrier and a dog trainer have in common? What the experts (veterinarian) say is the biggest block to learning about dog behaviour.

    Megan Hensley is a renowned donkey farrier and expert, and also a rebel in her profession because of her unique approach to working with donkeys. Sound familiar? Yes, Megan and I have a shit-ton in common.  We recognize the need to change the human mindset and perception to achieve our goal of bettering the lives of animals.  This chat is full of surprises, laughs, information and genuine passion.

    The chat is followed by a quick and dirty speel on why changing the human mindset in the dog world is a challenge, according to Dr. Bruce Fogel, President of Humane Society International.

  • Can upbringing/puppyhood effect the behavior and personality of a dog? Why are 100,000 dogs killed in Spain each year?

    Are behavioral issues unique to geographical locations?  level of abuse? lifestyle during puppyhood?  How do these effect the personality or needs of a dog? Perhaps all of these have an effect, but what is most important are the way the dog thinks and processes based on experiences, which are not as unique to geographical location and/or breed as one may think. How a dog is  forced to think and how he perceives his surroundings effects his behaviours.  Sound obvious?  You think it would be more obvious that it appears to be. 

    Did you know every year 100,000 dogs are murdered in Spain? Mary,  of Extraordinary Galgos and Podencos, Atlantic Chapter, is passionate about spreading awareness to help dogs, and she does not sugar-coat it!  Join us for our chat with Mary who knows first hand the effects of upbringing on behaviours and personalities of dogs. She shares her knowledge of Greyhounds, Galgos, and Podencos and the situation that is going on in Spain.

  • Are you a Dog Mom or foster Mom? If you are struggling to keep it together, you are not alone!

    We explore the role of women and our reaction when the behaviour of the dog is causing disruption to the family dynamics. Women are often the main care givers and we tend to blame ourselves when things are out of balance.  If you are frustrated and feeling defeated, learn why it is not your fault and how you can make changes to re-empower yourself and help your family.

    This episode was created after I was a guest on a podcast called, "Her Canvas", where we discuss this issue in greater depth. I invite you to listen to that episode as well.  Jedidah is a wonderful woman, great mother, and dynamic podcast host.  It airs on Wed Nov 18th . I will include the link.

    Season 5 is a "Dogology" (kinda like a mixology) of tips, Q and A's, interviews, discussions and a deeper look into the 3 components of UPWARD Dogology all with the goal of increasing awareness and making the world a better place for all animals, including humans! Season 4 is interviews with people and organizations that help animals. Increase your awareness and be part of the solution by listening, sharing, and reviewing.  Season 3 dives deep into trending methods. Are they right for you and your dog? Season 2 shares the learning journey of my clients with dogs with different issues and backgrounds; always interesting and a great way to feel a connections with others who have similar experiences.  Season 1 starts by sharing my unique learning journey and then dives into why positive reinforcement training (and practices under that "umbrellas") are often limiting, ineffective and/or counter-productive with dogs over 6 months. It finishes with an introduction into cognitive behavioural therapy and UPWARD Dogology.
