In this episode of Puppy Talk, we talk about what calm behavior actually looks like, why many dogs never learn how to settle, and how owners often encourage excitement without realizing it. You'll learn how to recognize true calmness in your dog and simple ways to help your dog relax and behave better at home.Our Sponsor is Top Gun Dog TrainingIn-home dog training services in the Huntsville, AL area at http://www.topgundogtraining.comRESOURCES:Podcast Website: http://puppytalkpodcast.comSponsor Website: http://www.topgundogtraining.comDale's books: https://www.amazon.com/author/dalebuchanan Top Gun Dog Training in Huntsville, Alabama.

Bob and Kevin talk through life down south for the 2026 Winter Training Trip and this year's SEWE fun. This event is always great and allows Bob to see some good friends in-person. Unfortunately, Bob forgot to accidentally buy a trip to Argentina this year so that's a downer. Here's a few highlights from the show: How was SEWE this year? Who was there and what events happened? If Bob did luge, could we call it bobsledding? Explaining wagon wheel (2 tier vs 1 tier) and how we feed puppies Transitioning from small birds to bigger ones like geese... this is a challenge for so many people.

  Heather Wallace and I discuss the topic of getting burnt out with your bird dog training, testing, and trialing. We talk about two main kinds of burn out. The first is the feeling of mental exhaustion that can come when your training is not going well, or you are not having a lot of success in tests or trials.    The second is the fatigue from all the logistics – setting up training sessions, lining up gunners, getting birds, planning around your work schedule, not to mention all of the driving that's involved.   We hope you relate to this honest conversation about the realities of pursuing these hobbies with our bird dogs.   You can find Heather on Facebook or Instagram at @hlw_outdoors. -- The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is sponsored by OnX Hunt and part of the HerUpland Podcast Network.

In this episode of the Animal Training Academy Podcast, host Ryan Cartlidge is joined by returning guest Michael Shikashio for a wide-ranging conversation about professionalism, community, and the future of the dog training industry. Michael Shikashio is the founder of AggressiveDog.com, a leading expert in working with aggression cases, a five-time past President of the IAABC, the 2020 APTT Member of the Year, and host of The Bitey End of the Dog podcast. Drawing on decades of experience supporting trainers across more than 20 countries, Michael brings a global, grounded perspective to the challenges and opportunities facing the profession today. Together, Ryan and Michael explore the vision behind the Canis Conference - a bold new event designed to bring trainers, behavior consultants, veterinarians, shelter professionals, scientists, and dog sports enthusiasts together under one roof. Michael shares how Canis was born from a desire to dismantle silos, reduce divisiveness, and create a space where learning, collaboration, and respectful dialogue can flourish across differing backgrounds and methodologies. The conversation moves well beyond conference planning, diving into the emotional and professional toll of online conflict, social media algorithms, and the rise of polarized "team" identities within the dog training world. Michael speaks candidly about criticism, controversy, and resilience, offering powerful insights for both emerging and established professionals navigating public discourse, online platforms, and ethical responsibility. Throughout the episode, the emphasis remains on compassion, professionalism, and the importance of face-to-face connection in restoring trust - both within the industry and with the public we serve. In this episode, we discuss: The vision and structure of the Canis Conference and its festival-style, multi-disciplinary approach Why safety, inclusion, and professionalism matter more than ever in the dog training industry The impact of social media algorithms on conflict, identity, and professional behavior Navigating criticism, controversy, and online hostility with integrity and resilience Moving beyond divisive labels to find shared values and common ground The power of in-person connection to rebuild trust, empathy, and collaboration Whether you are a new trainer finding your voice, a seasoned professional reflecting on your role in the wider community, or someone longing for a more respectful and united industry, this episode offers clarity, courage, and a hopeful vision for where we go next - together.

Send a textIn this episode of Think Like a Dog Podcast, Millie is joined by three additional trainers from Mirror Image K9, Easton, Brandon, and Jill, for a conversation focused on helping owners recognize when it's time to seek professional guidance.Together, they break down the behavioral patterns that often get minimized or managed rather than addressed, and how those small struggles can evolve into larger challenges. The trainers discuss insecurity in dogs, the critical role of early socialization, and the confusion many owners face when relying solely on online training advice.The episode also explores breed tendencies, commonly overlooked small dog behaviors, and the subtle ways avoidance can signal deeper issues. Throughout the discussion, the trainers emphasize that professional support isn't about failure, it's about strengthening the relationship between dog and owner while preventing escalation.This conversation offers practical insight for owners navigating uncertainty and reinforces the importance of intervening early to build confident, stable dogs.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9 @OzzieAlbiesFoundation Work with Mirror Image K9 here: https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest: https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.com Learn More About The Best Chance Program: https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

You scroll.One trainer says never let your dog look at the trigger.Another says your dog has to look at the trigger.Both sound confident. Both sound science-y. Now you're more confused than when you started.In this episode, Emily and Claire talk about why dog training advice feels like such a mess, and how “good” advice can still be the wrong advice when it's ripped out of context and handed to every dog on the internet.This is your reminder that there is no single right answer. The goal isn't perfect protocol compliance. It's figuring out what actually works for your dog, your brain, and your real life.If dog training content has ever made you feel overwhelmed, guilty, or like you somehow missed the orientation… you're not alone.TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Confident delivery does not equal correct advice – Someone sounding sure on the internet tells you nothing about whether their advice fits your dog, your skills, or your situation.2️⃣ Context matters more than the technique – The same strategy can help one dog, stress out another, and quietly blow up a third. That doesn't mean the tool is magic or trash. It means context is doing the heavy lifting.3️⃣ Content made for the masses misses you as an individual – You don't need to push through discomfort just because the internet says a protocol “should” work.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

SEND US A QUESTION OR TOPIC FOR A FUTURE SHOW...Why is my dog stubborn? Time for a Dog Training ResetEver feel like your dog is being stubborn—ignoring cues they definitely know, pushing boundaries, or suddenly “forgetting” their training? Before you chalk it up to bad behavior, let's pause. What if it's not stubbornness at all… but overwhelm?In this episode of the KISS Dog Training Podcast, Mike of KISS Dog Training in Shawnee, KS (serving the Kansas City Metro), Mike unpacks how stress, inconsistent routines, and too many expectations can leave both you and your dog feeling fried. We talk about the signs your dog is mentally overloaded, how humans unintentionally contribute to the chaos, and why going back to basics can be the most powerful move you make.You'll learn how to give your dog a true training reset by establishing clear routines, simplifying communication, and creating structure that actually reduces stress (for everyone). If training feels like a constant battle lately, this episode will help you reset, reconnect, and move forward with clarity and confidence.Because sometimes the best progress comes from slowing down, not pushing harder.

What to listen for:Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, sit down with canine cognition researcher Dr. Jennifer Essler. She unpacks her journey from coding Capuchin monkey videos in a windowless lab to studying fairness in wolves and dogs.Starting with music studies before discovering comparative psychology, Essler's academic trajectory took her from Georgia State's primate labs to hand-raised wolf packs in Vienna's Wolf Science Center.It's a unique research environment that controls for lifestyle differences between wolves and dogs by raising both species identically in packs. As a result, you can isolate domestication effects from environmental variables. The wolves, however, proved far more challenging subjects than primates, requiring complete experimental apparatus redesigns after initial safety failures.Her inequity aversion research uncovered pretty interesting species differences: wolves, like primates, showed quality sensitivity by refusing to work when partners received superior rewards.Dogs, conversely, accepted any reward as long as they received something, possibly reflecting their domestication-driven tolerance for human-directed work, or their reduced attention to partner outcomes.Robin, Stacy, and Dr. Essler discuss the practical implications this finding has for multi-dog training scenarios and reinforcement strategies.Essler's transition to Penn Vet Working Dog Center brought her expertise to practical applications: ovarian cancer detection, COVID-19 screening, and spotted lanternfly detection. All while developing behavioral assessment batteries. Key Topics:Academic Journey from Primates to Canines (03:04)Wolf Science Center Research Design (05:45)Pack Living Challenges: Dogs vs. Wolves (08:12)Impossible Task Apparatus and Behavioral Flexibility (16:14)SUNY Cobleskill Teaching and Detection Class (19:33)Glow Germ Contamination Training Exercise (27:13)3D Printed Vessels and Odor Considerations (31:18)Inequity Aversion: Dogs vs. Wolves vs. Primates (41:39) Resources:Dr. Essler's WebsiteSUNY Cobleskill Canine Science Program We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Send a textThe “place” command is one of the most misunderstood tools in dog training, and it's often taught in a way that completely misses its real purpose.In this episode of Think Like a Dog, we break down what “place” is actually meant to do for your dog. It's not just about staying on a bed or mat. It's about teaching emotional regulation, building coping skills, and creating a space where your dog can truly relax.We talk through why using “place” only during high-energy or stressful moments can backfire, how dogs form associations with their environment, and what calm actually looks like in training. You'll learn practical techniques for teaching place the right way, including leash guidance, spatial pressure, tethering, and how to gradually introduce distractions without creating anxiety.This episode is for dog owners who want more than obedience—who want their dogs to feel safe, settled, and confident in a busy world. When taught correctly, “place” becomes a sanctuary, not a punishment.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9 @OzzieAlbiesFoundation Work with Mirror Image K9 here: https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest: https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.com Learn More About The Best Chance Program: https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

On this episode of Dog Works Radio, professional dog trainers from Alaska Dog Works share practical dog training tips, discuss common dog behavior problems, and explain how positive dog training and dog training consistency create better behavior at home. In this episode of Dog Works Radio, the hosts delve into the importance of engagement in dog training, emphasizing that a dog's distraction often stems from boredom rather than stubbornness. They introduce the concept of turning training into a game, which not only makes the process enjoyable for the dog but also enhances learning and reliability. The discussion highlights the three C's of effective training: clear criteria, meaningful consequences, and consistency, and how these principles can be integrated into play-based training to foster a stronger bond between dogs and their owners. The hosts explain that play is not chaotic but rather a structured way to engage dogs, making them more likely to choose their owners over distractions. They provide practical examples of training games that can be easily implemented without special equipment, reinforcing the idea that fun and effective training can coexist. The episode concludes with a reminder that training should feel like a relationship rather than a chore, encouraging listeners to adopt a playful approach to dog training for better results.

When a dog dies in a household, many owners wonder if the surviving dogs truly understand what happened. In this episode, Scott Sheaffer explores how dogs perceive death, loss, and change through their senses and routines rather than through human concepts of mortality.You'll learn why some dogs appear to grieve while others seem unaffected, how scent and routine play a role in their behavior, and how to best support a surviving dog after a loss.

This episode we head to Soda Springs, Idaho to visit with Tony and Monica Rosen of Dirtbag Ranch—first-generation Texas Longhorn breeders and well-known Bloodhound breeders/trainers. We dig into how they built a Longhorn program from scratch, what they prioritize in structure and disposition, and how Idaho weather, forage, and terrain shape day-to-day decisions. Then we switch collars to talk Bloodhounds—breeding philosophy, training foundations, and how nose work, patience, and reading behavior carry over to working cattle.Tony and Monica share the realities of juggling two serious programs, winter prep and calving in the high country, fencing and handling for calm cattle, and the community that's helped them learn fast. It's a conversation about grit, good dogs, good cattle—and carving out a ranch identity on fresh ground.Dirtbag Ranch: https://www.dirtbagranchid.com/THE NOSE KNOWS: Missing local 8-year-old found safe thanks to community effort and bloodhound Miss MaeSend us a text From the Pasture with Hired Hand:Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.comHired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftwareTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsitesNewsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed

Hey Dog Lover

Should the dog training industry in the USA be regulated?I've been asked this over and over again, and the answer is not as simple as people think.In this episode, I break down what regulation could improve, what it could destroy, and the one line that matters most if this industry ever gets “controlled” by outside forces.Curious to hear everyone's thoughts.

I've done several episodes recently on the responsibility of raising a puppy. The main thing to remember once you take ownership of a puppy is that they need obedience training, and you have to practice with them. Follow the guidelines below to improve your practice sessions and the predictability of the puppy's learning of obedience skills.Daily practice is essential. Practicing once in a while will not work. You have to practice correctly, the way a professional dog trainer has taught you. Short training sessions several times a day are better than a single long session.RESOURCES:Podcast Website: http://puppytalkpodcast.comSponsor Website: http://www.topgundogtraining.comDale's books: https://www.amazon.com/author/dalebuchanan Top Gun Dog Training in Huntsville, Alabama.

In this episode of the USA Dog Behavior Podcast, we challenge one of the most ingrained misconceptions in the world of dog ownership: the idea of the "mean dog." Scott Sheaffer reveals why aggression in dogs is rarely a character flaw, but almost always a symptom rooted in fear. Diving deep into the critical difference between labeling a dog "aggressive" and understanding their specific fears, this episode will transform your perspective on your dog's challenging behaviors. You'll learn why a generalized label like "aggressive" is as unhelpful as telling a doctor you're simply "sick," and why identifying precise behavioral triggers is key to compassionate and effective intervention.Scott breaks down the 7 common types of dog aggression, from fear aggression and resource guarding to leash reactivity and pain-induced responses, explaining how each type is an attempt by your dog to cope with perceived threats. Discover what a behavioral trigger truly is and, most importantly, what you can do with this knowledge. Instead of punishing symptoms, learn how to identify what truly scares your dog and how to address that underlying fear with positive, humane methods. Tune in to move beyond the myth and build a deeper, more trusting relationship with your canine companion.Subscribe for more bite-sized episodes and visit USADogBehavior.com for additional resources!Find us at USADogBehavior.com.Follow us on Facebook.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Think Like a Dog podcast, Andreia and Millie break down what reliable recall actually means, and why most dogs aren't truly off-leash trained. They explain why recall must start on leash, how inconsistent expectations and rushed freedom lead to failure, and why practicing in multiple environments is non-negotiable.The conversation also explores the role of thresholds, such as doors, crates, cars, and gates, and how these everyday moments shape impulse control, safety, and overall behavior. Andreia and Millie emphasize that structure creates clarity, and clarity creates freedom. This episode challenges common myths around off-leash training and helps listeners understand the responsibility that comes with giving dogs real-world freedom.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9 @OzzieAlbiesFoundation Work with Mirror Image K9 here: https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest: https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.com Learn More About The Best Chance Program: https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

Chris Lawrence dedicates the full hour of West Virginia Outdoors to a deep dive into rabbit hunting with beagles, joined by longtime dog handler Matt Wolf. The conversation covers everything from starting pups and avoiding deer chases to breeding bloodlines, AKC and PKC field trials, GPS tracking collars, and the subtle skills that separate a good dog from a great one. Along the way, Matt shares unforgettable stories from the field, lessons learned over decades of running dogs, and why the chase — not the harvest — is often the point. A detailed, boots-on-the-ground look at a tradition that remains deeply rooted in West Virginia's hunting culture.
