Annie reads a post from Denise Fenzi's page that sparked some interesting comments on labels in the world of dog training. Some dog trainers are considerate about the use of some punishment in training and others work to avoid it at all costs. And then there are trainers who simply don't know what they're doing at all. Like... Dog Daddy. He calls himself "balanced" but no educated pro trainer would give him that label. Maybe the real problem is that to non-professionals, what this Insta-celeb doing is all they know about dog training. TOPICS DISCUSSED: - Frustrations with the dog training industry - Divide between different training methods - The problem of most people's lack of understanding of dog body language - The weirdness of a spectacle-like approach to dog training - Importance of focusing on the dog's well-being - Potential for more animal training entertainment that actually shows off the magic of positive reinforcements KEY TAKEAWAYS: - Dog training should focus on the well-being and training effectiveness of dogs rather than creating a spectacle. - Understanding dog body language is crucial for preventing dog bites and improving communication with dogs. - The divide between different training methods should be approached with open dialogue and growth in mind. - Strength-based training can be effective in both academic and dog training settings. - The well-being and safety of dogs and the public should be the priority in dog training.

People need to deal with the feeling in the body for them to experience healing. If we're suppressing things, and distracting ourselves when we have that feeling in our body, then we can't heal. We're just actually running away from it. This is part 2 of Kathy's interview with Marika, an amazing dog trainer, one of her certified partnership coaches, and who loves to help dog moms in our community. In this episode, Marika will help us understand the importance of letting our bodies feel in order to achieve healing and begin to heal the relationship with ourselves, which is the most important relationship we have. Marika also talks about the effect of regular exercise on our bodies to allow us to feel a sense of peace and discusses some important details on our vagus nerve, which is our muscle that will help us to be more resilient when things get tough and the stress level gets high.

In this episode: Healing our reactivity loop Feel it to heal it Begin to heal a relationship with yourself Quotes: “The why behind it, or the why I act like this is really, I think, the first beneficial thing to understand to help you to heal.” “You need to feel it to heal it.” “So if we're not letting our bodies feel, if we're just suppressing things, and distracting ourselves when we have that feeling in our body, then we can't heal. We're essentially running away from it because that feels safer for our bodies than actually feeling pain.” “And that's the normal thing to do until we become aware that it's actually not helping us in the long run. And there's a better way to deal with it.” “Once I knew more information about how trauma, stress, and anxiety affect our body and how we didn't really have much control over it, it relieves that guilt for me, and the blame and the shame. And it started to allow me to begin to heal my relationship with myself.” “If we can't accept ourselves or forgive ourselves, then we really can't help those around us.” “We really have to put our own oxygen mask on first to be able to assist those around us. And that's what this comes down to, is acceptance of it's okay where we are. And I now know better, so I can do better.” “So what can start to heal this relationship is by accepting these feelings that our body and the overwhelm that we're feeling the trigger, it's there for a reason. It's to keep us safe. It's to protect us, and actually to help us heal.” “Instead of paying attention to the feeling in our body, and listening, so it feels heard, we want to give it love and acceptance. So it feels that connection is craving.” LOVE TO LEARN MORE?

Stress can influence our experiences and success, and as a dog mom, it can also, in turn, affect our dogs and their behavior. This episode of Enlightened by Dogs is the first part of the 2-part episode with Marika Bertram, who is an amazing dog trainer, one of my certified partnership coaches, and who loves to help dog moms in our community. Marika shares her knowledge about stress, how to get stressed, and even how to deal with them. She also talks about the vagus nerve, some simple techniques that we could use to promote releasing that stress, and other important details on healing our reactivity loop. In addition, Marika also discusses the importance of dealing with the feeling in our body, not just the thoughts that we have so that it doesn't keep getting stored as trapped energy in the body and keep reappearing each time we're triggered.

In this episode: Marika's background A better understanding of how stress influences experience and success Releasing stress from the body Quotes: “It's important to understand not only our own behavior but also our dog's behavior and why we get triggered or why they also get triggered. And it seems like they literally can't hear us.” “A lot of people don't know why they get stressed. Even though maybe their lives aren't that stressful, they're still experiencing stress.” “Our brain has to make sense of the feeling in our body. So it triggers thoughts in our brain and then we react to these thoughts.” “If we only deal with the thoughts that we're having, and not the feeling in our body, it just keeps getting stored as trapped energy in the body and will keep reappearing each time we're triggered.” “If we allow the body to release this trapped energy, we can then begin to heal, and our bodies will be less triggered…. And then it leads us to become more resilient and feel safe, calm, and happy.” “When you're in survival mode, you don't need to be social, you don't need to be polite to those around you. Clearly, you're thinking about survival and safety. So you're going to do whatever needs to be done at that moment for your body to survive.' “We can't force ourselves or our dogs back to the green zone when it's in the red zone.” “So it's only once our nervous system feels safe that we can actually return to that green calm state, and go from survival to being more social, where we actually start to feel safer… Make better decisions and act more consciously and mindfully.” LOVE TO LEARN MORE?

What's causing the recent spike in reactivity among our dogs? It's easy to blame it all on the recent lockdown. After all, dogs everywhere were cooped up indoors without the opportunity to socialize and take in the world around them. While that's one way to look at it, it's not quite accurate, and Marika Bertram joins Kathy on this episode of Enlightened by Dogs to explain why. She delves into the rise in reactivity, the common mistakes surrounding socialization, and how to turn things around. Marika was originally born in Australia and moved to Canada ten years ago. Her journey in the dog world began after rescuing a very reactive Rottweiler mix named Sierra. She soon found herself very overwhelmed by her behavior and attempted to seek help from various trainers, without much success. She became determined to learn how to help her by undertaking a number of professional dog training courses, which then led her from being a schoolteacher to helping others achieve harmony with their dogs. After years of training people's dogs, she kept searching for something more. Something just didn't feel right, and there were so many dogs struggling even after being trained. In this time, she adopted two more dogs, one was a Rottweiler pup, and even after applying everything she learned, she still didn't have the relationship she wanted and longed for. Marika knew she had finally found what she was looking for when she found Kathy and her brilliant community, and the rest is history. Listeners can find Marika on Facebook and Instagram by searching for ‘The Dog Listener' or heading to www.revyk9.com. In this episode: Common misconceptions surrounding socialization Why you should know your dog before attempting to socialize them How to kickstart the process of rethinking old socialization methods Quotes: “One big misconception floating around the dog world is that if you end up with this dog or puppy that's slightly reactive, you just need to expose them to more socialization.” “You can do your best to create a positive experience for your puppy, but you don't have any control over what the next person or dog is going to do.” “The existing model of socialization puts focus on our dog's behavior instead of the ways we can create a sense of safety between us and them.” Want More of Kathy?

This is our first installment of answering viewer questions. We start right out of the gate with a dog owner living with an almost 2 year old reactive dog.
There's a language barrier that separates us from our dogs. They don't understand our world and feel that we are their responsibility. That's why they run to the door when someone is approaching and bark when they hear a new sound. Penny Locke is a "dog listener" who helps people to train their dogs to be dogs, freeing them from the anxiety of responsibility. Through simple shifts in behavior, you become the leader of your pack and your dog can relax. She uses no force, no gadgets and no confrontation. Her approach is based on the work of Jan Fennell of Great Britain who studied wolves in the wild to learn about canines. This episode of the "Good Dog" podcast will improve your relationship with your dog forever.
