Often people retrain their reactive dogs and do a super job, but when their dog next reacts, this knocks all their confidence away. This regression is harder to swallow once we've had the taste of success. This episode is to help you regain your confidence, and get your easy dog back.

We discuss Garbage bags, and ways to build your dogs resiliency.

We all want dogs to enjoy and enrich our lives, yet so many just suck all joy from them. This podcast will help understand the differences in our lifestyles, and how to create a dog you enjoy living with, that can also make you laugh.

For Marcelle the Shell you must watch until the very end.

DOG TYPES; the differences in how to train them.

Jill and I are finally on to something great, and I thank those who have given us honest, raw input to get us on task. This week we have an uncensored discussion trying to decide the difference of how we train a sensory dog compared to one lacking confidence. We do get there, with a really simple answer, but we are talking about something that has never been defined before. We do define it and the answer is really simple.

This weeks podcast applies to all the Mexican Rescues and other street dogs, many reactive dogs, and all the weirdos out there that are so misunderstood by recipe trainers. It explains why so many of these dogs get worse under programs with rigid structure. Please share this with all your friends that this might help.

Thank you to you all for sticking with us, while we learned how to do this. The growth curve was steep, but I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. Jill, not so much!

We tackle a very difficult topic of highly sensitive, reacting inappropriately because of an overloaded nervous system, or fearful? Plus we discuss my highly sensitive dog, that cannot poop in public. Enjoy!

This one is about what we should be training, and if we can brag, is our best one to date. Understand how to train the building blocks to having a nice person that you can live with.

Having feel and timing comes at a cost, and a lot of talented trainers burn out long before they should. We discuss survival tips for to keep the good trainers going.

We discuss ideas on how to deal with fireworks, and minimize and prevent damage to your dogs.

I got an email from the BC SPCA suggesting that muzzles are really a leash, and all dogs should be wearing one as a preventative. Jill and I discuss this, deeply, over wine.

It's been a full moon kind of week, where very little went right. While I could have pretended on short instagram videos, I didn't, and you get a full podcast on my weekly disasters. Everyone fails, sometimes. If you haven't, you haven't put yourself out there enough, or worked with enough dogs.
