Intro: You’re listening to how do you train that? The place were advice and encouragement for people interested in learning. More about positive reinforcement training, you can interact with us on our Facebook page. How do you train that leave some questions and comments, and we will put those topics into our feature podcast, so put your feet up and let’s get started.

Kat: Welcome everybody. I am Kat Camplin.

Becca: Hello. This is Becca Hintz.

Kat: And we are here with Jamie who Lynn is human, Hugh, Lynn,

Jamie: Hugh, Lynn.

Kat: Hi, Jamie. I. We are here to talk about puppy, socialization, all things puppy. So Jamie wanted to start with a getting a little bit of information about yourself.

Jamie: Okay. I started training somewhere around the against mid seventies. It was my first dog tried to get into a class down the street at one of the local trainers. And she taught me a lot about dogs and training and then I found out a lot of the stuff that she told me somewhere around the late eighties was actually wrong and then I found Dr Ian Dunbar. And Dr Dunbar changed my life, and he switched me over from being a old yanking crank kind of trainer to positive reinforcement. And then I got my independent certification in 2010 finally when I could afford it and took the test became CPDT-KA through the. See CPT certification council, and then I became a member of IAABC the association professional dog trainers. I’m supporting member of ADC, I’ve been on FOX forty news. If you times once with my dog Argo the wonder dog and couple times by myself. I work for a large pet store is where I work at now. And I have a lot of fun. And it’s it’s one of those things that it’s makes me very glad when I see people understand their dogs better and have better relationship with them than when I used to experience back way back in the day.

Kat: Yes. I always sort of had a question about the term “crossover” because it’s not like you step over the line. It’s a process.

Becca: Exactly.

Kat: It’s it’s not like you’re going the ladies at the end of the tunnel in you, just go. There are so many things along the way I clicker trained, most of the competitive, obedient stuff except healing. Because I didn’t know how to do it without the pop, and I did that for a long time. Like, my dog was completely clicker trained on the retrieve and scent articles and all that stuff. But I was still using a choke chain. So it is a long process.

Jamie: And you figured it out. Did you figure it out?

Kat: I did. You know, and it’s a way of seeing right? So as a correction, trainers or balanced trainers were sorta geared towards looking for what the dog is done wrong and waiting for that to happen so that we can correct it instead of preventing it from the beginning actually seeing the good that happens before the bad happens.

Jamie: Yes.

Kat: So it’s much more. A way of seeing than away training. And for me. The hardest part was getting rid of this pop muscles. Like it took forever to not feel that pressure on a leash and pop back.
