- S01 EP07: ADDING MORE THAN ONE DOG, LMS
Thinking of adding two puppies to your home ? Think again! Want to add a second dog ? Here's how to do it !
Littermate Syndrome and Managing More than One Dog in a Household
In this episode of the The Robotic Dog podcast, Brittney discusses the complexities of raising two puppies from the same litter, known as 'littermate syndrome', and the challenges that come with managing two dogs in a household. Littermate syndrome can result in heightened codependency and conflict between puppies. She advises raising a single puppy with structure and rules before introducing another. The podcast also tackles the topic of introducing a new pet to an existing dog by slowly conditioning them to each other's presence. Importantly, the host emphasizes that a puppy is a future dog that requires investment of time for training.

These include mixing up the rewards, gradually reducing the frequency, and incorporating verbal and physical praise alongside motivational items such as food and toys.

5 min - S01 EP05: CLEAR COMMS WITH YOUR DOG
Timing for dog training is everything, listen to the words we use to communicate with our dogs so they understand what we want. We also use clickers for precise replicated sounds.
In this episode, Brittney from Dawg Boss gives advice on Clear Signals Training (CST), emphasizing the importance of timing when training dogs. She delves into commonly used words and phrases, such as 'good', 'no', and 'wait', to coordinate actions. Highlighting two types of clicker training (pay in place and active release), Brittney explains that striking the right balance between these styles ensures the dog is neither 'sticky' nor tempted to break command. Mistimed rewards can lead to delays and decreased enthusiasm in the dogs during training.

5 min - S01 EP04: MY DOG IS AN ANXIOUS WRECK!
Is your dog an anxious wreck? Does your dog struggle to exist in daily life ?! It is possible to get him out of it!
In this episode, Brittney from Dawg Boss K9 Training discusses the serious issue of anxiety in dogs. She underlines how detrimental it can be; from extreme cases where dogs can't be kenneled and wreak havoc at home, to the smaller signs hinting at a dog's discomfort. Brittney highlights that these anxieties often begin from puppyhood due to never holding the dog accountable for things. These problems can escalate, manifesting as aggressive behavior or unusual physical responses. The solution, as Brittney explains, involves laying the foundations with obedience training and teaching the dog to understand 'no'. She also points out the importance of not reinforcing anxious behavior with petting, emphasizing it’s better to ignore it. The aim is to make the dog comfortable with discomfort, to build confidence. She mentions a successful case involving a very anxious dog who used to lean on his owner for security. Brittany concludes with a promise of more detailed training videos on their YouTube channel.
