Worry Less, Wag More: The Behavior Vets Podcast

Open Conversations with Michael Shikashio and Dr. Kathy Murphy: Moving Past Polarization in the Training World


Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss how to have difficult conversations with other trainers who may not share a similar approach to training dogs. This conversation was a response to Mike Shikashio’s recent appearance on a trainer’s podcast who uses and teaches training with aversive tools. Was it a mistake to “reach across the aisle”? 

  • Keeping communication lines open
  • Navigating sensitive conversations
  • Shifting away from the 4 quadrants
  • Understanding emotions related to behavior
