In response to the “trainer wars” between the balanced and force-free communities Sarah and past podcast guest (and friend) Lisa Mullinax sit down to talk about the place where ethics meet efficacy. Lisa and Sarah do not claim a label as trainers (neither balanced nor force-free), and have both undergone an evolution in the behavior field that has helped them to arrive at a place free of dogma and full of compassion. Know the opinions expressed here are vulnerable and honest, and there can't be enough time for all nuance to be present in all conversations. Neither Sarah nor Lisa represent anything other than themselves in their thoughts expressed herein. In the second part on The False Dichotomy in dog training, Sarah and Lisa get into the weeds regarding what effectiveness looks like, what it truly means to manipulate aversive or appetitive stimuli, and all the nuances involved.

By now you know Florida Governor Ron DeSantis removed himself from contention for the 2024 Republican Presidential Nomination and endorsed Donald Trump. As we move closer to New Hampshire's primary, Nikki Haley remains in the race -- but is she banking of alternative support from democrats in open primaries? It looks that way as Haley has turned to playing the sympathy card after media pressure as well as the race and gender cards as explanations as to why she should be president. While it is widely known these superficial arguments do not resonate with Republican voters and free-thinkers, the Democrats are fueled by such identity politics - a strategy which will also attract the "Never Trump" crowd. With open primaries coming in several states, Haley seems to see a path to win by hoping for some strategic voters' switcheroo.

When Dogs Roll Over for "Belly Rubs," What Does it Really Mean?In my latest episode of Dog Aggression Answers, I delve into the complexities of canine aggression, focusing on the mixed signals dogs exhibit, like rolling over for a belly rub while simultaneously displaying aggression towards certain people. I explain that a dog's decision to roll over is often a sign of fear or submission, not an invitation for affection. This behavior, known as 'submissive rolling' is classified as a 'calming signal' or 'appeasing behavior' and is one of the ways dogs indicate discomfort or fear, akin to a human's gesture of raising hands in surrender. This is a misunderstanding where humans interpret this as a desire for physical contact, which can actually exacerbate the dog's fear.Further in the podcast, I explore the factors that influence a dog's reaction to strangers, including the size and gender of the person, their movements, and how they engage with the dog. Dogs often find men more intimidating due to their size and their more mechanical types of movements. Interestingly, dogs may react more positively to people who show indifference or less interest in them, as their lack of engagement with the dog can be less threatening. My advise to dog owners on how to manage interactions between their anxious dogs and strangers: my key recommendations include instructing people not to look at, touch, or talk to the dog and to maintain a distance, especially if the dog shows signs of fear or stress. This approach can significantly improve the dog's comfort and behavior.Social Media and Other Links:If Your Dog is Aggressive to People, Never Stop Doing These 2 ThingsDogAggressionAnswers.com (you can leave Scott a message here)FacebookScott Sheaffer's Free & Premium Training VideosScott Sheaffer's Dog Behavior ArticlesBook an Online or In-Person Session with ScottAbout Scott SheafferScott Sheaffer, CCBC-KA, CDBC, CPDT-KA, is a certified dog behavior consultant who has worked with thousands of dog owners and their aggressive dogs.

Ever wonder why some dog bites are more dangerous than others? We've got you covered in this episode. In this intriguing exploration, Scott Sheaffer takes a deep dive into the world of canine aggression and bite analysis. We unravel the layers of the Ian Dunbar dog bite scale, a tool used by behavior professionals to understand the severity of dog bites—from harmless air biting or growling to the most severe types of bites. This understanding is crucial for anyone dealing with dogs, as it guides us in shaping the right behavior modification approach and fosters effective communication among dog professionals. We further step into the disturbing realm of increasing canine aggression, moving from the initial levels to the more dangerous levels of bites. Level four, five and six bites normally indicate a pattern of intentionally aggressive behavior - meant to harm the victim instead of just warn. These involve deep punctures, potential lacerations, and signify not just a loss of bite inhibition but a clear intent to harm. At times, these can even lead to behavioral euthanasia. By the end of our discussion, we leave no stone unturned in making you aware of the seriousness of dog bites, especially those scaling higher levels. So, join us for this insightful episode and transform the way you understand, analyze and manage dog bites.Social Media and Other Links:DogAggressionAnswers.com (you can leave me a message here)FacebookTraining VideosScott Sheaffer's Dog Behavior Articles About Scott SheafferScott Sheaffer, CCBC-KA, CDBC, CPDT-KA, is a certified dog behavior consultant who has worked with thousands of dog owners and their aggressive dogs.

This episode is jointly released through the Functional Breeding Podcast and Cog Dog Radio, which is hosted by Sarah Stremming. Sarah is an internationally known dog behavior consultant with a special niche working with sports dogs. She consults at The Cognitive Canine, teaches online courses on dog behavior, and hosts the Cog Dog Radio Podcast. I sat down with Sarah to talk about the recent news that SPCA Tampa Bay has partnered with a pet store and a puppy broker - and what we think this means we all should REALLY be talking about. Although the shelter's pilot program was paused due to community feedback before we released the episode, we feel the issues we discuss in here are still critical ones to ensuring the welfare of the dogs we share our lives with.
A topic so big it needed a follow-up! Specific cases we might call drift, some questions that showed up on social media, and more with Sarah's friend, colleague, and drift-agnostic Lisa Mullinax CDBC of Serentiy Canine.
