Listen Later

In this episode, join me, Corinne Gearhart, The Doodle Pro®, for the second half of my interview with the incredible Laura Monaco Torelli — quoted in my Amazon #1 bestseller Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint and one of the nation’s leading positive reinforcement experts.

Since 2004, Laura has been transforming the lives of pets and their people in Chicago, bringing the same science-based, compassionate techniques she first used training marine mammals and exotic animals into the world of companion dogs.

In Part 1 (Ep 47) — our most-downloaded episode ever — Laura and I explored how empathy and reinforcement-based training can make grooming and handling truly stress-free. In this follow-up conversation, we go even deeper into practical tools you can start using today.

🎧 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • How to teach your Doodle to actually enjoy grooming — yes, brushing and clippers included!
  • Step-by-step techniques for creating positive associations with grooming tools.
  • Why giving your Doodle choice and consent reduces anxiety and builds trust.
  • How to manage grooming timelines to keep your Doodle’s coat healthy before the holidays.

Laura’s wealth of experience across both exotic animals and companion pets offers a unique perspective perfect for Doodle parents looking for humane, science-based solutions to grooming challenges.
