Lift Your Leg - the art of training a dog

Matthew Twitty joins us to discuss the lack of balance in balanced training. This is a heart felt discussion that all three of us feel very passionate about.

Keltie R. Lang (Keltierlang.com) joins Jill Brown and Monique Anstee to further discuss the issues of dog training today with Social Media influence. Please spread the word, comment and share if you like our conversation. Thank you for listening!

A strong, but true title. Social Media has changed Dog Training from what it used to be, and all of us die-hards are unable to stop it. Tic Toc and Instagram have made many greenies instant professionals, with a bursting client base and six-figure salaries to matcjh. We need to find a way to stop this trend before our profession is watered down to only 30 second video clips.

Getting a puppy? Want to know what breeds to get, or avoid? Then this podcast is for you. We go through the CKC breeds groups and discuss the dogs that we most often see people struggling with. Our Previous podcast (20) is about the breeds that everyone succeeds with.

While we state these dogs are not good pets, it does not mean we do not like the breed. In fact, most often, they are our favourites. From Livestock Guardian Breeds, Pointers, Border Collies and Malinois, find out why they are wrong for most people's homes.

There are so many hidden gems for dog breeds, many that are quite unknown. Here Jill Brown and Monique Anstee share breeds that are wonderful and easy to succeed with, from each group of the AKC (American Kennel Club). From Golden Retrievers, to Smooth Collies, and Japanese Chins, learn the breeds that always succeed in their homes.

Monique Anstee, from The Naughty Dogge, and Jill Brown discuss training, safety protocols and preparation needed` for natural disasters like forest fires, tornados, and floods. Some dogs turn feral in these moments. Hopefully this discussion can spark ideas as to how you can make your dog safer in these moments.

This is a useful podcast that could save lives. Please share it far and wide.

Learn how YOU play a part in your dog's reactivity, and how to change it. Monique Anstee from The Naughty Dogge and Jill Brown discuss handler errors in the vicious cycle, and what your role is to retrain your dog. They go through the handler jobs, one by one, to make walking your reactive dog a much more enjoyable experience.

Monique, Jill and Hayley discuss training resource guarding, and separation anxiety, and ways to best avoid both from occurring. The change in Golden Retrievers locally, with resource guarding, and their inability to 'do aggression well' is touched upon.

The dear friend that helped me out with the one resource guarder was Cheryl Randolph at Sooke Harbour Pet Resort. She made sure he was safe but limited his fun so that I was able to rescue him, and boost my relationship ahead on the fast track. Every trainer in this profession needs friends like her! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063494323600
