I hear a lot of stories of dogs being picky eaters and how their owners have tried dozens of different kinds of dog food. There are some solutions to this problem and hopefully after listening to this episode it will give you some solutions if you have this problem with your dogs.

With over 40 years in the business working with dogs there is a reason he's called "Uncle George". His down to earth style of breaking everything down to what he calls the "awesome sauce" simplifies dog training. Listen as he discusses the worst bite he ever received, his opinion on training tools, and his experience with a newly adopted puppy. DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

I think you will enjoy and resonate with Todd's story if you are a dog owner. He admits he "did everything wrong" with his German Shepherd puppy so he sought out the help of Cesar Milan only to be referred out to another trainer. From there his life took a turn that would lead him down a road to eventually work for Cesar. His story of several dogs in his home when he was only supposed to have one will give you a good laugh. Todd seems like a fun guy and I had a great time interviewing him. Everyone will get something out of this conversation.....Enjoy!

I love doing the Facebook Live Stream every Monday night at 8:15pm. It gives me a chance to really interact with everyone that follows our page "Vermont Dog Trainer".

We cover how to start training your dog the recall command, a little help with reactive dogs, and more viewer questions. Hope you enjoy this one!

This can be a touchy subject. There is no doubt we all love our dogs but I believe sometimes we love them too much to the point that it's detrimental to the dog. Too much love and not enough structure is a recipe for disaster. Take a listen to this episode one why too much love is too much for your dog to handle.

In the dog training world we are always trying to find the way "in" to work with a dog. Everyone thinks food is the only way to train a dog but there are other ways too. Hope you enjoy this one!

I have to say I felt right at home talking to Paula. Maybe it's the fact that she's right next door to Vermont in New Hampshire. Or maybe it's the fact that she spent so many years in the special education field that she is so caring and gentle with the dogs. Talking to Paula feels like you are talking to someone you have known for a long time. And if she's this way over the phone, I can only imagine how the dogs resonate with her energy and communication.

If you know Jason then you know he's a pretty down to earth guy. Hearing his story of how he "stole" his neighbors dog for his dog to play with when he was 7 years old was GREAT! He is very well known for his Large Field Socializing where he can have anywhere between 80-130 dogs in a field with their owners at the same time. His journey started in a camp where he would train dogs for 2 weeks at a time. Now he is planning a trip to Spain where he was invited to teach a workshop. So grab a cup of coffee (or an iced tea if you are in the south) and enjoy a great conversation with dog trainer Jason Vasconi.

This was my biggest Facebook Live Stream to date. And I've received a bunch of compliments on how we properly use this tool. It's not a tool for everyone and it has more controversy around it that any other tool. I'm not here to push it on anyone, just here to explain how we use it, and use it gently. Enjoy!

You guys are going to enjoy this one! Mailey talks about her journey from working at a vets office for 2 weeks to taking over the classes at her local humane society after she attended just one class as an employee. She is an experienced trainer who now sits on the board of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) and she is well known in the industry for how she runs her classes. This is such a relaxing interview and it was such joy to talk with Mailey. She is currently working on her "people skills" so she can better communicate with dog owners......something we might revisit in another episode.
