How to Train Your Dog: Start with the Human, with Greg DiFranza
Do you ever wonder if your dog actually understands what you’re saying to him?
Here’s the truth: they understand your energy behind your words and actions. A happy “Good boy!” will result in a joyful, jumpy pup – but it’s all about the energy behind your words.
Greg DiFranza, author of Dog Stories, joins me today for a conversation all about dog training. In practice, however, his advice is more about how to train the human, rather than the dog. He walks us through how dogs communicate, how to manage your energy, and understanding their basic instincts. We also discuss the sudden rise of dog aggression during the COVID-19 pandemic, how they’re trying to take care of their owners, and how you can best care for your dog as well.
Tune in to learn more about yourself, your dog, and how you can better communicate with one another.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- How our dogs are responding to COVID-19. (4:49)
- Why there’s a rise of dog aggression right now, and how to consciously reduce that behavior. (12:00)
- About the power of the pack. (20:28)
- What dog compatibility looks like. (28:29)
- What the right reasons to adopt a dog are. (38:39)
Some Questions I Ask:
- How did you get started in dog training? (1:31)
- How can humans stay calm with their dogs in these times? (11:28)
- How do you recommend introducing a senior dog to a puppy? (25:45)
