Dog Training DisrUPted

UPWARD Dogology episodes contain a “JOURNEY” and a “SnipPet”  The Journey describes the process, challenges and successes with a client and their dog. The SnipPets are tidbits of info, tips, “what’s trending”, opinions and advice from experts on anything and everything dog related.

In this episode Billie takes us through the Learning Journey of Cam and Lynn and their dogs Molly and Max. Molly is a calm, mature dog and Max is just over 6 months old.  Molly started to snap at Max at three specific times - these are factors that are important to Molly, requiring Cam and Lynn to apply methods that change the way Max views them and, in turn, change the way Molly views Max.

The SnipPet Piece discusses different types of trainers/behaviourists and why they may, or may be, a good match for your needs and your dog's personality.

Enjoy your learning journey!

Learning Journey: In this episode, Billie introduces us to Kelvin and his dog, Zeus. Zeus is nervous of new people coming into the home or on walks if they pay too much attention to him.  And then, due to an incident, afraid to go on neighborhood walks. 

The SnipPet Piece is a true or false segment, that touches on  three topics 1) are emaciated dogs, when homed, more likely to be in need of impulse control training than other rescued dogs? 2) Is the honey-moon period a myth? 3) How effective is the gentle leader?

UPWARD Dogology episodes contain a Learning Journey and a SnipPet. The Learning Journey describes the process, challenges and successes with a client and their dog. The SnipPet Pieces are tidbits of info, tips, “what’s trending”, opinions and advice from experts on anything and everything dog related.

In this Learning Journey, Billie introduces us to Roxanne and her dog, Dezi. Dezi got a bit of a bum rap in his early life and is nervous of people, causing him to bite. Although the bite incidences appear unpredictable, Roxanne learns how to read Dezi and prevent bites by changing his perception of his need to bite.

The SnipPet Piece describes one of many times Billie learns of, and tries to make sense of, a common technique recommended to address unpredictable behaviour.  Are you frustrated by commonly recommended techniques?  Learn why it is NOT YOUR FAULT.

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.

In this Learning Journey, Billie introduces us to Dana and Leslie with their adopted dog, Sasha, who has been returned to the rescue organization twice. Although she "ticks all the boxes" of a great family pet, she has annoying habits. 

The SnipPet Piece uses a human example to explain how perception, in conjunction with choices, influences a dog's behavior. Can we change that behaviour? Yes - but we need to change the dog's perception first!

In this Learning Journey, Billie introduces us to John and his dog, Samson. John has had Samson since puppyhood and he is well socialized and a great family pet. But when John tries to rehome him due to his illness, he learns that Samson has an interesting form of food aggression mixed with resource guarding.

This SnipPet Piece uses a common trick style training exercise to explain why it is important to elevate these exercises to more useful exercises.

In this Learning Journey, Billie introduces us to Jane with her dog Buttons. Jane adopted Buttons as a mature dog from a breeder and she is having problems house-training Buttons. Jane learns how cognitive behavioral therapy changes Button's perception and, in turn, addresses the messing.

The SnipPet Piece takes a look at The Fear Free Certification recommended for veterinarian clinics. This movement has effectively decreased negative methods by spreading awareness on the importance of positive methods, but has this left room for other effective, non-aversive methods?

Welcome to the revamped Season 1 (as of Sept, 2021)

In this final episode of Season 1, we explore the 10 principles of Cognitive Therapy. Why is this important? Well, in doing so, we learn how UPWARD Dogology incorporates approaches and principles that scientists and animal experts are recognizing as necessary components for securing a positive relationship with our canine companions.  ( ie - communication, bonding, pro-active prevention, teaching expected behavior, building a platform, calm guidance, recognizing emotions and harnessing cognitive skills)

Cognitive Studies on canines performed by scientists prove dogs can think cognitively. We need to harness these skills to effectively "work with" dogs, especially adolescent dogs and ones with checkered or unconventional upbringings.  Learn what cognitive skills are and why how those effect your dog's behavior on a daily basis.

Dog experts are making strides in incorporating methods, principles and approaches that non-aversively harness cognitive skills and respect the emotional intelligence of dogs. Is this possible while only adhering to methods grounded in Conditioning Methodologies?

To decrease euthanasia and surrenders, we need a methodology that addresses aggression and anxiety to a greater degree than the ones currently presented in mainstream dog training.  Change is urgently needed. Be a part of the solution.

Welcome to episode 3 of the revamped Season 1 (as of Sept, 2021). 

In this episode I explore the differences in platform, design and intentions of Conditioning Methodologies to those of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  In doing so, you will learn how it addresses behaviors and situations that conventional techniques are not intended to address. 

This information, provided using examples of different behaviors and situations, allows you to understand why you may feel frustrated or as though you are doing something wrong - you are not!  And your dog is not "bad".  It is simply a matter of changing, adapting and growing with your dog!

Welcome to episode 2 of the revamped season 1 (as of Sept, 2021) 

In this episode, I  share thought provoking information and stories to "retrain your brain", so you can easily absorb the information on UPWARD Dogology in the following episodes.

Mainstream dog training currently consists of methods adhering to Conventional Methodologies.  These methods are effective and many dogs can go through their entire life with the guidance provided by Conditioning Methods. But for many dogs these methods can fall short after puppyhood.  This is not the fault of the owner or trainer, or, of course, the dog! 

This episode talks about how industry experts have effectively (and thankfully) diminished the popularity of negative methods and techniques, yet also recognize the need for a methodology that is non-aversive and effective with dogs over 6 months, and in particular, ones with a checkered or unconventional past. To start this process, it is necessary to open our minds to learning.

To avoid that "deer-in-the-headlights-look" as you venture through the mini-series, it is a good idea to hear how Billie's learning journey lead to the creation of UPWARD Dogology. This is not your average learning journey - no certifications, no set game plan, and no rules.

"My learning journey is my own, and I give full credit to the dogs who put their trust in me. My goal was to develop a solution to prevent behavioral surrender, euthanasia and abuse to adolescent and adopted dogs. In a twisted, somewhat backwards, journey, I accomplished that, and so much more."
