In Episode 353 of The Canine Paradigm, we talk about how genuine science gets twisted online and why that matters for dogs and their people. We begin with voices who keep the facts straight, including Dr Melanie Uhde, and show how clear reporting can upset those who rely on vibes over evidence. Then we look at the pattern that follows. Big personalities rarely enter the arena themselves. Instead, they rally highly engaged followers to attack, while they stay behind the wall and keep their hands clean.
We unpack how this cycle forms, why confused audiences become cannon fodder, and how to protect good discussion from bad faith tactics. Most importantly, we share practical ways owners and trainers can check claims, reduce drama, and keep the focus where it belongs, on dogs and results.
