Sarah Dixon: A harm reduction approach to animal training


Listen Later

Where we sit down with Sarah Dixon for a frank discussion about a harm-reduction approach to animal training, why our reinforcement-minded messaging is failing to reach the right people--our animal-owning clients, and the benefits of gap-bridging.

"We're not going to change the knowledge that they have if we don't build trust; we're not going to build trust if we attack them."

Also, Matthias' gratitude to Sarah for her approach to newbs, Lauren's training-minded adaption of the National Harm Reduction Coalition's guiding principles, and what this episode actually should have been called.
