"My dog is just fussy, has always been like that". If that is what you think, you need to listen to this episode. Eating is a behaviour, not only a physiological need. And any behaviour can be learned.

Although the weather seems like it's April, it's July. Let's get ready for the summer (if it ever shows up). In this episode we talk about the heat, the picnics, the falls in recall and grass seeds that will impact your training. I laid down a plan for your training and now you just have to follow!

I know you think you meet all your dog’s needs, but every time someone for help with a behaviour there’s one of those things that are not being met. Know the areas that you’re probably making mistakes and how to solve it listening to the episode.

Most people hate muzzles because them think muzzle means serious aggressive and vicious behaviour. I see it differently: I believe that dogs that are aggressive sometimes don’t need it and many dogs that aren’t aggressive actually need it. Learn how muzzles can solve problems like scavenging by listening to the full episode.

Training is a great way to change behaviour, but if you don’t know the other things that are influencing behaviour you’ll never be able to change it completely. New episode just dropped! Listen now to understand how clinical investigations work and why you can’t train your dog.

A new podcast where I plan with you what to train and how to plan ahead for times of the year!

Manners around food at home, in the park and when in possession of food is REALLY important! Are you creating polite and positive behaviours in those situation for is this aggravating and becoming a problem?

In our society we want to let people know when they made a mistake because we think this is necessary for the person to learn. But how do you feel when someone call you out, even if in a gentle way? Shameful, embarrassed, guilty, sometimes even angry and frustrated. Very few times I felt good when someone said I shouldn’t so something. This inhibits learning and have a huge impact on the process of achieving the goal. However, this is something that is ingrained in us and it’s difficult to change in our brains. I work on this on myself everyday and I’m very careful to not shut down the person when trying to repair the damage or control the damage that was done. This could be that I gave a certain instruction to a client and the person have done something completely different or when my partner puts the cups on the mug cupboard. Doesn’t matter, depending on the way you approach this you’ll have different results. The question here is: is it the most effective and best way to get results in your dog training?

And the answer is to divert the attention from the mistake to new instructions! I explain how this works in dog behaviour in this episode.
