Today we are joined by Anesh from K9 Academy joins us for a fantastic conversation covering a variety of topics from socialization, issues in the dog world, working with reactivity and much much more.

Today David and josh talk about the nuanced topics of helping your dog overcome socialization issues with dogs, people, and the environment.  We use recent examples and case studies of dogs we have worked with recently.

Today David and josh talk about the true unfiltered reason why owners aren't finding success with their difficult behavioral modification cases.  Warning: this may ruffle feathers.

Today David and Josh deep dive into learning about all of the different types of "Differential Reinforcement", a popular method that force free trainers and people in the "child teaching" space utilize.  We talk bout the methods, where it can be applicable, where it fails, and our thoughts on all of this.

David and Josh answer fan questions on Ecollar conditioning and our thoughts on it, breaking down a seriously overstimulated dog and how to help it, teaching owners about ecollars, and watching and reviewing a dog fight at the dog park video.

David and Josh talk about the three biggest complaints that we hear dog trainers say about their clients and our approach to digging deeper and helping them get past them.  All it takes is a little self reflecting and digging deeper for solutions!

Kenzie of Brilliant Behavior K9 Academy is in town for 5 days from Texas doing our shadow program.  She joined us on the podcast while here to talk about her company, her experience with our shadow program, and much more!

Today we answer a question we received from a listener all on affection, the issues it creates, and how to control it.  We also watch a recent clip from a podcast Jeff Gellman did on his "Wake the Fuck up with Jeff" show all on the UK Ecollar ban and our opinions on it.

Bridget, Seamus and Michelle sit down to discuss if your dog is being stubborn or if you're just not communicating well enough.

Michelle, Bridget and Seamus sit down to talk about the concern from clients about their dogs listening to one person but not listening to others, or their dogs listening to trainers but not owners!
