Visit us at shapedbydog.com    I set out to do a podcast episode explaining why I choose not to use an electric collar with my dogs and with my students' dogs. It sent me down a spiral of research and careful consideration. So, after nearly 40 hours reviewing videos from trainers who use e-collars, I'm sharing observations about the wide spectrum of electric collar use in the training world. From excellent conditioning protocols to concerning misuse, what I discovered may surprise both those who use shock collars and those who don't.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • About hours spent watching videos of training with electric collars. • The types of electric devices available for dog training. • About the growing e-collar market in North America. • My thoughts about bans on dog training tools. • About the possibilities of learning from each other. • My observations on the use of shock collars. • The question of dopamine and what's really being reinforced for the trainer. • Why all dogs need solid training foundations and layered learning. • How reducing the divide in dog training helps us all.   Resources:   1.

In this episode of the USA Dog Behavior podcast, certified dog behavior consultant and behaviorist Scott Sheaffer addresses the critical issue of unqualified dog trainers handling aggression cases. He highlights the lack of regulation in the dog training industry, where inexperienced individuals often use harmful methods like shock collars or dominance-based techniques, exacerbating aggression rather than resolving it. Sheaffer emphasizes that effective aggression treatment requires proven experience, a deep understanding of behavioral science, and the use of positive reinforcement, desensitization, and counterconditioning. He warns against trainers who promise quick fixes or "cures," stressing that aggression is complex and demands a tailored, science-backed approach.Sheaffer provides listeners with key red flags to identify unqualified trainers and outlines three signs of a competent professional: prioritizing safety and management, developing customized plans based on thorough assessments, and focusing on behavior modification rather than obedience training. He urges dog owners to ask detailed questions, avoid miracle cures, and seek help promptly, as aggression tends to worsen over time. The episode concludes with a call to action for responsible dog ownership and a reminder of the high stakes involved in choosing the right trainer.

Marina Anderson Ex-Wife of David Carradine, The Eye of My Tornado / Four Feet to Fame: A Hollywood Dog Trainer's Journeyop culture/Memoir/autobiography.This is a significant and very personal book.This book has been inducted into the Johnny Grant Hollywood Walk of Fame Library."...it was one long rollercoaster thrill... Mr. Toad's wild ride...intense passion and emotion. He was the eye of my tornado." Marina Anderson.Marina Anderson was just starting out taking acting lessons at Warner Bros., when she wandered one afternoon onto the candlelit set of a Shaolin temple and met for the first time, the volatile, dark and brilliant personality that was actor and icon, David Carradine. Two dynamic people merging into a karmic-destined, intense and turbulent love relationship. Each struggling with their own demons including sexual abuse and incest. Their private life was replete with love, passion, erotic pleasure and eventually bondage, sexual experimentation, and pain as an avenue to pleasure. Their marriage was marred by a toxic secret that could not be ignored. Her writing speaks to readers universally by focusing on their personal journey, revealing the truth about the couple, addresses conquering fear and overcoming obstacles, self discovery, recovery, re-inventing and rebuilding one's self. It's her personal survival while desperately trying to save the marriage as well as Carradine's constant struggle to be someone he wasn't, but wished he could be. Spirituality, psychic John Edward,other psychics and astrologers who helped her are written about in the book as well. They were married on the Warner Bros. back lot and their six-year relationship was a whirl of auditions, star-studded parties, exotic locations, red carpets and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marina, who was already an established actress, became Carradine's personal manager and set about rehabilitating the career of an actor who was now known for his heavy drinking. She introduced him to Quentin Tarantino, who cast David in a lead role in the popular Kill Bill films. This vaulted Carradine back onto the Hollywood A-list.After their divorce with the help of re-known celebrity Dr. Drew Pinsky (Celebrity Rehab, Sober House), issues are addressed in the consultation verbatim, occupying an entire chapter. Anderson was able to finally exorcise the demons that have haunted her for so long about their relationship and herself that almost destroyed her. "This book is an avenue for his fans and the general public to know, understand and hopefully accept him as a man, not a celluloid fantasy...to be admired for his talents and the motivations behind certain issues in his life understood. It's also to reveal the very personal interior of a marriage that people can relate to. What we do for love. We are all human beings with our faults. He was afraid people wouldn't remember him. That will never happen. The legend continues."David Carradine's acting career spanned four decades onstage, television and cinema. He became an international sensation as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s hit television series Kung Fu and cemented his cult hero status with his role in the classic movie Death Race 2000. He portrayed Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby's Bound for Glory and Bill in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films. Carradine received four Golden Globe nominations. He was a talented songwriter and musician and performed in a band called Cosmic Rescue Team.He died in a Bangkok hotel room, June 3, 2009, an apparent victim of autoerotic asphyxiation. Amid sensational media speculation, Marina refused to let David's death remain stigmatized like it was and launched her own investigation into the death of her ex-husband. Suicide? Foul play? A sex act gone wrong? Was he alone? Was there a cover-up? Her conclusions are startling.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In his twenties, before he became a nationally-renowned dog trainer, Matt Beisner was a jobless, self-loathing alcoholic with a rap sheet. And he was scared of dogs. When he went to the shelter one day and unexpectedly adopted a Jindo pup with a rap sheet of his own, Matt's life began to change. As Matt got clean and sober, he and Renge rode out some heartbreaking lows and euphoric highs, and Renge taught Matt how to slow down,  live with kindness, and listen to what a dog's trying to say. Because dogs will tell us everything we need to know about life, if we just pay attention.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Recently, dog training advocate Zak George asked me about crossover dog trainers, and framed the question in such a different way that it inspired replying with a podcast episode. When I crossed over from balanced training to reinforcement based training in 1996, many people asked me why and told me it would not work. I'm sharing my start in dog training, pivotal moments, people and dogs that led me to change my approach, what I learned about myself along the way, and the reasons I never went back.    In this episode, you'll hear:   • About my transition to becoming a crossover dog trainer. • The question from Zak George that inspired this episode. • When I decided to leave balanced training behind. • What I learned from my terrier puppy, Shelby. • The book that changed my thinking - Don't Shoot the Dog! by Karen Pryor. • When I first saw true autonomy in dog training and how choice transformed my approach. • About my "Shaping Badly" era. • How learning from Bob and Marian Bailey helped me refine my training with clarity and intention. • The shift to shaping with success. • Why judgment holds trainers back. • That change is possible. • Reasons trainers resist crossing over to a positive reinforcement approach. • A special offer for podcast listeners who want to be coached by me and my team.   Special Discounts to Join or Gift our Online Programs Check out our 300TH Episode & 5th Anniversary Celebration Page - https://dogsthat.com/celebration-central/   Resources:   1.

Are you trapped? Is it too difficult to exit and pursue the next career?

In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn and Pat introduce a structured concept that Pat has been refining—the Dog Trainer's Triangle of Control. This model focuses on controlling three essential elements: the dog, the reinforcer, and the environment. The triangle offers trainers a simple yet powerful blueprint for structuring learning in the early phases of dog training and life development. By managing these three factors, trainers can significantly reduce confusion, improve communication, and create optimal learning conditions for dogs. Glenn and Pat break down how each point of the triangle works in practice and why this method is highly effective when applied thoughtfully. If you're looking to strengthen your foundational training or rethink how you set up your sessions, this episode will provide a highly actionable framework.

Howdy doody Bookshelvers!We're thrilled to bring you another one of our awesome DOGX 2025 speakers today… drumroll please… It's Roz Pooley! We had a ball chatting with Roz and got into a LOT! From sharing her journey from a retail background to becoming a prominent figure in dog training and behaviour, her experiences in dog walking, the evolution of training methods, and the importance of understanding dog behaviour and social dynamics. We also discuss the significance of continuous learning and adapting to the changing landscape of dog training, while also getting Roz's perspective on the unique roles that different dogs play within their social groups. We also couldn't chat with Roz without discussing the overwhelming influence of social media on guardians and the pressure of perfection in dog training and the unrealistic expectations placed on trainers and their dogs. We wax lyrical about a world where a more realistic and empathetic approach to dog training that embraces imperfection and prioritizes the well-being of both dogs AND  their owners might exist.

Text Me Your QuestionsJumping behavior in dogs is completely manageable through positive reinforcement techniques rather than punishment-based methods that cause fear, pain, or intimidation. Using differential reinforcement, you can teach your dog to sit for greetings instead of jumping, creating a lasting behavior change that preserves your relationship.• Dogs jump to meet face-to-face and because we've accidentally reinforced this behavior• Jumping continues when we give attention (positive or negative) as a response• Four main causes: face-to-face greeting, attention-seeking, poor self-regulation, and anxiety• Traditional punishment methods damage trust and your relationship with your dog• Teach your dog to sit when approaching from 1-2 feet away and reward generously• Start with low distractions and gradually increase difficulty as your dog succeeds• Turn away immediately if your dog jumps, removing all attention• Use management tools like leashes and gates during the training process• Practice with guests using the same approach-and-sit technique• Any behavior can be taught or eliminated using positive reinforcementCheck out my website at dogbehaviorist.com for my article on how to stop dogs from jumping, along with about 100 other articles on dog behavior.Support the showIf you need professional help please visit my Dog Behaviorist website.Go here for Free Dog Training Articles

Send us a textZazie and Kristi talk to dog trainer Si Wooler about his new book, More Than Just a Dog.We talk about the big changes that people are willing to make for their fearful dogs, and why the dog's relationship with their person is important for all dogs, but especially the fearful ones. We talk about what a great job Si does of helping people see things from the dog's perspective, and we ask how he talks with clients about the dog's umwelt, or how the dog perceives their world.We ask about how Si decided where to fit Sophie's story in the book. And Kristi puts Si on the spot and asks how he deals with the outdated idea of dominance when it comes up in conversation and what he thinks of toxic masculinity in dog training.More Than Just a Dog: Understanding, Loving, and Living with Dogs, The Indispensable Guide for All Dog Lovers by Simon Wooler is out now in the UK and available wherever books are sold, including UK Bookshop: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/14471/9780008707484More Than Just a Dog will be published in North American on May 13th.The books we recommend in this episode are:A Dog a Day, Old Dogs, and Rescue Dogs by Sally MuirWoman at 1000 Degrees: A Novel by Hallgrímur Helgason, trans Brian FitzGibbonThe Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians by James Patterson and Matt EversmannThe talk by Dr. Lindsay Parker is the A&S Colloquium Kicking the Dog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN7m4sfkbZA&t=1s Si Wooler has been training dogs for more than ten years. He studied with the Academy for Dog Trainers, one of the most rigorous dog behaviour and training programmes in the world and specialises in training fearful and reactive dogs. In 2023, he worked with author and broadcaster Rory Cellan-Jones and his wife Professor Diane Coyle to help their Romanian rescue dog, Sophie, overcome her profound fears, bond with her people and gradually discover the world, a journey that was followed daily by hundreds of thousands of fans.Si came to dog training after 20 years as a sound engineer so loud barking hardly registers on his personal decibel scale. His own fearful, ‘unhomeable' rescue dog, Thomson, was the motivator for seeking out effective, evidence-based training methods and leaving his career in sound and stage to focus on working with troubled dogs and the people who love them.

WATCH | DELMAR SMITH: BIRD DOG & RODEO ICON WATCH | 300. More Than a Dog Trainer: The World of Delmar Smith -------------------- Episode 300! It's hard to believe it's been over five years since starting the show. It's been an incredible journey, capturing conversations with so many people from across the dog training and hunting world. Along the way, I've had the privilege of meeting and learning from some of the most respected voices in the space. That said, I recently had the opportunity to interview perhaps the most legendary name in the bird dog world—Mr. Delmar Smith. Over the course of a few days, we picked his brain, listened to his stories, and walked away with a treasure trove of footage. What began as a simple podcast episode quickly evolved into something more—a "docu-cast." Instead of just another interview, this project became a deep dive into Delmar's life, family, business, and the seemingly endless supply of stories that only a man like him could tell. In this special episode, I sit down with the friends who were along for the ride as we reflect on what it was like to get to know Delmar, hear his backstory, and experience firsthand the impact he's had on the world of bird dogs. -------------------- Highlights: 00:00:00 Introduction: The Delmar Smith Experience 00:01:15 Humble Beginnings & Shattered Expectations 00:06:15 The Mission: Honoring the Bird Dog Foundation 00:14:00 Dog Assessment & Confirmation 00:18:45 Delmar's "Accidental" Approach 00:23:30 Observation and Learning from Nature 00:34:45 The Changing Landscape 00:44:30 A Positive Mindset & the Serenity Prayer 00:50:00 The Smith Method & a Life of Intentionality 01:09:00 Training, Balance, and the Pursuit of Knowledge -------------------- Presented By: Standing Stone Supply | Check out their step by step Online Courses and Use Code 'GDIY' to save 15% onX Hunt Maps | Use Code 'GDIY20' to save 20% Upland Gun Company | Check out their online gun builder and construct your dream gun today!
