C muses about how for them, growth and self-discovery have tended to come from travel connections: the people you share a bunk bed with or end up next to on a bus in the middle of nowhere. Some connections are intense, others are fleeting, many are both of the above. All of them, when meaningful, will leave their mark in one way or another, inspiring change and - in C's case - stubbornly banging their head against a newly discovered wall or moments of appreciation of the beauty around them, the perfect imperfections of life and human connection.

Canine nerd level scale: 3/3

Musings on negative reinforcement and positive punishment in dog training and life. Especially negative reinforcement is a quadrant that tends to confuse trainers - hopefully, this episode will shed some light on it!

C chats with their fellow dog professional Kenne Young. Originally from the US, Kenne moved, after living all over the world, all the way to Graz, Austria, where he and his wife Sarina run a unique dog boarding and daycare center: one where every dog who visits becomes a member of the family and is given all the love and freedom to live their best life. 

Doglovers is the only place in Austria I would board my own dogs. Even though what I set out to talk about with Kenne was going from North America to Europe and the cultural differences that most stood out to him, what we start with, end with, and keep coming back to is - of course! - the dogs.

This episode gave me a lot to think about. I've wanted to leave Austria ever since I was a teenager. There are many things I could criticize about it and Europe in general. Thank you, Kenne, for providing me a fresh perspective - and a reminder of the warmth, "Gemütlichkeit" and safety that exists in Austria and that I, having grown up there, sometimes take for granted or overlook. One of my favorite episodes so far - I can't wait to record another part! Thank you, Kenne!

This week's episode - released later than intended - is about Colorado again. About life and its unexpected (and unexpectedly beautiful) turns. And about the messed up US immigration system and its unfair advantages for people who look like me. I even snuck a Jurassic Park reference in there. And lots of Poodle puppy thoughts!

C and Karen nerd out about about multiple marker cue systems, behavior cases, the slime factor of treats (a life quality issue!) and the all-important facts that ziplock bags are forbidden in Karen's classes and C can't stand the texture of shrimp. 

Is a clicker all you ever dreamed of ... or do you want MORE? Can you HAVE more? More clarity? A greater shared vocabulary with your dog? And even MORE fun? Fear no more, my friends and strangers, for today you shall be initiated:

How do marker cue systems make for clear-minded dogs? What makes them like a language? Can they help solve behavior issues and may even pet dogs benefit from them ... or are they just a sports dog thing? What's the correct order of events when marking and reinforcing? What made the number one dock diving Poodle in the United States number one? Is it blasphemy to have food in your hands? WTF is up with these hydrolized diets, and what should you name your child? These and many more questions will be covered in a fast-paced, fun and VERY nerdy episode! Come join us for a wild ride! Scatter, toss and treat FTW!
