Listen Later

In this second-to-last episode of the season, Libby and Em talk with Zak George. Zak is a celebrity dog trainer and YouTube star who has trained thousands of dogs throughout his career. Their conversation and Zak’s approach revolves around creating a relationship with the dog first, before diving headfirst into training. Tune in for a fascinating conversation about this warm and friendly approach to training, and see how a relationship-first approach could change your relationship with your dog. In this episode, they discuss:

  • The importance of the bond

  • Earning the behavior vs. taking the behavior

  • Letting dogs perform natural behaviors where possible as a benefit to the dog

  • The LIFE Model: Least Inhibitive, Functionally Effective

  • The negative side effects of outside-in training

  • Zak is the author of Zak George’s Guide to a Well-Behaved Dog
