Unleashed & Unhinged

The second special episode with Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers and they're coming thick and fast right now.

Dom and I have sat down and had hundreds of conversations about dog training and dogs in general over the years so we started recording them.

We don't really sugar coat things when we're together and we try to talk about technical things that matter to us as professionals and that are in reality equally important to dog guardians and caregivers but are probably less well known about.

In this episode we try to answer a common question both of us often get in our roles as behaviour consultants "Would Getting a 2nd Dog Fix My First Dogs Problems?" 

I won't spoil it by giving away the answers here. So... Dive in, have a listen and if you want to learn more about what Dom and I have to offer formally then go check out caninecaregivers.com.au because we've got a ton of webinars, courses and membership tiers available.

Dominique also operates as 'The Dog Behavioural Trainer' in Sydney where she helps people and their dogs with training and behavioural issues. You can find her website here: https://thedogbehaviouraltrainer.com.au/

Don't forget to follow the show and leave a review if you're feeling generous.

Renée Erdman and I discuss 'How to Build 'Good' Behaviour.

Renée is someone I often look to for inspiration. I love her take and philosophy on dog training in general. I've been fortunate enough to have had a few great conversations with her over the years and each time I walk away feeling like I've learned something new.

Renée has a ridiculous amount of qualifications, so much so that than I am not going to list right here. Having worked in many aspects of dog training over the years, she has gone on to specialise in reactivity and remotely. So you can work with her from anywhere in the world. To learn more about her work (and to see the extensive list of qualifications go take a look at her website bravodog.ca

This was such a great conversation, so go take a listen and don't forget to follow the pod while you're at it.

This is the first special episode with Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers.

In this episode we break down "Perception of Control" which is a fancy talk for us talking about whether it's important or not your dog thinks they are in control of their outcomes.

Andrew Hale and I discuss the emotional experience of dogs, of their caregivers and even professsionals in this episode.

Andrew is a pioneer in this area and I never fail to take something away from every single time I hear him speak or have the fortune of talking to him myself.

Andrew speaks regularly on a large variaty of platforms to both dog caregivers and to fellow professionals, he owns and operates 'Train Positive, Dog Behaviour and Training' in the UK and is also the founder of the fantastic Facebook group, Dog Centred Care : The Emotional Experience of Dogs and Their Caregivers which I can highly recommend anyone listenning in to go and join as a supportive and informative community of dog lovers and professionals alike.

A consisten goal when working with dogs is to achieve a high level of emotional health. 

Whether we're working with a puppy, a dog in the home or out in the wide world we are always striving for the dogs in our care to be as emotionally stable as possible.

I will always prioritise this over obedience because if we have a dog that is feeling safe, settled and comfortable then more often than not we don't see undesirable behaviours in the first place and it is our baseline anyway for which we start to teach new skills on.

The second episode of this three part mini series that breaks down common mistakes that people make. 

The 'social norms' that people tend to do just because 'that's the way we've always done it' need to be examined with deeper critical thought before we implement them.
