In this episode of The Gold Standard Podcast, the team sits down with Jack Bowker, CEO and Dean of Ruff University, to explore how Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) connects to dog training.

Jack explains why dogs struggle to generalize behaviors — and how our own actions directly shape the way our dogs behave. From police work to behavior science, Jack shares his journey of combining his detective background with ABA to help people build stronger, more positive relationships with their dogs.

🐾 Topics include:

Why your behavior impacts your dog’s

How to apply behavior analysis to dog training

The importance of reinforcement, motivation, and trust

What most trainers miss when working with dogs and their owners

🎧 Tune in for a mix of behavioral science, real-world stories, and insights that go far beyond “sit” and “stay.”
