She talks to owners of family-run dog training businesses in rural and mid-size markets, private lessons, group class, board-and-train, service and therapy work, where family is on the books and the founder is still the bottleneck.

Does your puppy seem to turn into a completely different dog at night? The biting, zoomies, barking, and wild behavior may not mean your puppy needs more exercise. They may actually be overtired or overstimulated. In this episode of Puppy Talk, we'll look at why puppies often behave worse in the evening and how a simple wind-down routine can help your puppy settle, relax, and get the rest they need.If you need help housebreaking your new puppy, visit pottytrainingyourpuppy.com for FREE resources.

It has been a while since the last episode....but that does not mean we have not been doing anything!No, this is not a catch-up episode that goes over everything we, at the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy, have been doing, but...it certainly makes a great segway into this episode.The new trend in "dog training" - Do Nothing! Where did this come from and what does it look like in practice?And if humans can (or cannot) "do nothing", is this beneficial for our dogs? Would our dogs do the same?Can dogs "do nothing"? Well, dogs actually are doing something when they are doing nothing... at least when we recognize and encourage (not simply "allow") processing and decision-making. Let's do something about doing nothing....My TEDX Talk is live!  Beyond Dog Training: The Movement Toward Sentiencehttps://youtu.be/avUugazybwcFind all the episodes on Feedspot, where Dog Training DisrUPted is rated in the top 5 shows in the dog category in Canada:  https://blog.feedspot.com/canadian_dog_podcasts/To become a certified Canine CBT Psychotherapist, and for courses on related topics, please visit the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy. www.instituteofcaninepsychotherapy.comBecome a Certified Canine Behaviorist and Dog TrainerMy Linktree with all my media, presentations, shows, articlesBillie Groom - UPWARD Dogology | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeHere is the link to the recent article in Psychology Today Mag by Marc Bekoff on Canine CBTDog Training: Perception, Cognition, and Emotions | Psychology TodayBuy My Book!

Muzzles, stress signals, and the moisturizing system every groomer should knowThe safest groomers are not the ones who “power through” a difficult dog—they're the ones who know when to muzzle, when to back off, and when a behavior problem may actually be pain in disguise. In this episode of The GroomPod, Susy the Groomer and Barbara Bird share practical, real-world guidance on dog safety, behavior, muzzle use, and coat and skin care.Segment 1: Muzzles, behavior, and safer groomingSusy and Barbara break down the decision-making behind muzzle use, from recognizing subtle warning signs to choosing the right restraint without turning grooming into a battle.Susy explains her philosophy that a dog's experience matters as much as the finished groom. She discusses her preferred safety setup, including table supports, head tethering, multiple points of connection, and documenting what works for each dog.Barbara adds her experienced perspective on canine behavior, describing the signals she watches for—including stiffening, growling, lip curling, changes in the ears or eyes, and nervous tail wagging. Together, they explore why some dogs may need a muzzle before they ever attempt to bite and how pain, dental problems, masses, hip issues, and stress can all appear as “bad behavior.”You'll also learn about:Traditional nylon, silicone, basket, cone, and alternative muzzle optionsWhy keeping muzzles clean is essentialHow treats, a calm voice, and thoughtful preparation can make muzzling less stressfulSafety tools and alternatives, including e-collars, towel wraps, and haltersWhy compassion and safety should work together—not competeSegment 2: Understanding moisturization and product ingredientsBarbara then continues her moisturizing deep dive, explaining why moisturization is a complete system rather than the result of a single ingredient.She breaks down the roles of humectants, emollients, occlusives, and film formers, then examines real product labels to show how groomers can identify a well-rounded formula. She also discusses ingredients such as glycerin, panthenol, betaine, and quaternium-98, along with the ways lightweight conditioning systems can support both skin and coat.Whether you groom high-needs dogs, work with skin-challenged pets, or want to understand ingredient lists beyond marketing claims, this episode is packed with practical insight. Tune in for essential advice on safer handling, healthier coats, and making more informed grooming decisions.Music licensed through Soundstripe.Code: U8YHZD7RQFIOEARS

Why does your dog pull on the leash? The answer may be a simple training gap, a habit that has repeatedly worked, or an emotional response to something in the environment. Pulling toward dogs and people can reflect excitement or greeting frustration, but it can also be driven by fear, social insecurity, or aggression.In this episode, Scott Sheaffer explains how to distinguish general leash pulling from trigger-driven reactivity, why dogs stop responding when they go over threshold, and how the leash itself can intensify frustration or fear. You'll also learn practical, humane strategies for teaching loose-leash walking, managing triggers, reducing rehearsal, and knowing when professional help is appropriate.Episode Link:Communicating Through the LeashYou can visit USADogBehavior.com for lots of dog behavior resources—almost all of them are free—including videos, blog articles, and past podcast episodes to help you understand your dog.If you'd like to learn more about working with Scott, please visit his website below.Find us at USADogBehavior.com.Follow us on Facebook.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

Your support helps me keep sharing practical, science-based, positive-reinforcement training.Does your dog start pulling the moment you clip on the leash? Better walks begin with practice before you head down the sidewalk.In this episode, I start with attention and automatic sits inside the house. From there, we take those skills to the backyard on a 15-foot long line, then to the driveway and front yard. Once the dog can check in with you in those places, we start walking one driveway at a time.I also talk about teaching “Leave It” as a rewarded return to you, stopping pulling before it gets the dog where they want to go, and letting dogs enjoy time to sniff once the walking foundation is in place. For dogs that react to other dogs, distance gives you room to work; if reactivity is a problem, get help from a positive-reinforcement trainer.Practice when it's easy so you stand a chance when it's hard.Related reading and videosWhat Happens After Socialization?Watch Me: First and Foremost (blog) and Watch Me (video) Leave It vs. Wait (blog), Teaching Leave It (video), and Leave It on the Leash (video) Chilling Out in the Driveway (video) Putting It All Together: Watch Me Do a Walk (video) K.I.S.S.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Think Like a Dog Extended, Millie is joined by Connor, Brandon, and Jill for an in-depth conversation about what fulfillment really means for dogs, and why exercise alone isn't always enough.Together, they break down the difference between fulfillment and enrichment, how a strong relationship influence behavior, and why fulfillment can look completely different from one dog to another.From structured walks, play, obedience, swimming, and socialization to confidence building and simply learning how to settle, the group discusses how to figure out what genuinely fulfills your individual dog instead of assuming every dog needs the same activities.They also explore the signs of a fulfilled vs. unfulfilled dog, including anxiety, reactivity, frustration, hyperactivity, shutdown behavior, zoomies, demanding attention, and difficulty settling. Plus, they discuss why excitement doesn't always equal happiness, and how constantly trying to exhaust a high-energy dog can actually make it harder for them to learn how to relax.In this episode:• What dog fulfillment actually means• Fulfillment vs. enrichment• Why exercise alone may not solve behavioral problems• The role of leadership, trust, safety, and your relationship• How to discover what your individual dog enjoys• Breed traits vs. individual personality• Why some dogs struggle to settle after exercise• Excitement vs. genuine enjoyment• Signs of a fulfilled and unfulfilled dog• How fulfillment can affect anxiety and reactivity• Whether socialization with other dogs is necessary for fulfillment• Why rest and learning to “do nothing” matter• The layered stress model: health, fulfillment, and clarity• How to know whether you're doing enough for your dogThe goal isn't to keep your dog constantly entertained or physically exhausted. It's to build a relationship where your dog feels secure, understood, connected, and capable of navigating both exciting moments and quiet ones.If you've ever wondered, “Am I doing enough for my dog?” this episode is for you.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9@OzzieAlbiesFoundationWork with Mirror Image K9 here:  https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest:https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.comLearn More About The Best Chance Program:https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

Huntproof just changed the game for dog owners and trainers. Nathan Marks and Steven from Huntproof reveal the brand-new update that makes training logs faster, cleaner, and way easier to use - plus the upcoming Kennel Connect feature that lets trainers and owners stay synced in real time. Damien Pittman gets an early look at the release and walks through the biggest upgrades firsthand: a larger map, compass and wind direction, color changes for better visibility, walk-up marks, smarter bird-station mapping, dog skill tracking, and a new profile system that stores pedigrees, certificates, medical records, and more. If you train one dog or manage a whole kennel, this update is built to save time and keep everything organized. Nathan Marks breaks down the new journaling and mapping workflow, including how Kennel Connect lets trainers assign sessions to specific dogs, share updates, and keep owners in the loop without endless texts. Steven adds the product and user-experience perspective, explaining how the app is designed to feel lighter, simpler, and more useful for real-world dog owners. Together, they explain why the app is evolving from a hunt journal into a full legacy and communication system for the dog world. You'll discover: how the redesigned map makes training sessions faster to build and easier to read why wind direction and compass tools matter when you're mapping marks and blinds how dog profiles now track skills, paperwork, and training progress over time what Kennel Connect does for owners who want to follow training without bothering the trainer every day how the app handles privacy, data protection, and opt-in sharing The conversation goes beyond features and gets into the bigger shift in hunting culture - from old-school “figure it out yourself” to a more connected, transparent, and accountable relationship between trainers, owners, and kennels. Nathan also explains the pricing, how premium users get access, and why the app is built to work for both serious retriever people and everyday hunters who want a better record of their season. Perfect for dog trainers, kennel owners, retriever handlers, and waterfowl hunters who want a smarter way to track training, hunting history, and dog development. If you've ever wished your training notes, hunt logs, and dog records could all live in one place, this is the episode to hear. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What really happens behind the scenes of some of television's most popular animal shows? On this episode of Dog Works Radio, Robert Forto sits down with television producer and showrunner Rick Dowlearn, whose career has taken him into veterinary clinics, wildlife facilities, remote communities, and animal stories across North America and beyond. Rick has worked on animal-focused productions for Nat Geo Wild, Disney+, Discovery, and Animal Planet, including several seasons connected to Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet. Rick shares what a showrunner actually does, how production crews capture real veterinary and animal stories without interfering with the professionals doing the work, and why dogs often create some of the most memorable moments on screen. The conversation also explores wildlife rehabilitation, his experiences filming in Alaska, the Yukon, and Belize, and why storytelling can make information about animals far more memorable. Robert and Rick also discuss the changing media landscape, from traditional television to YouTube and podcasts, and whether a video podcast is really a podcast at all. Rick introduces his latest project, The Animal Show with Gozer and Rick, inspired in part by his relationship with his French Bulldog, Gozer, and his desire to continue telling the stories of people whose lives revolve around animals. If you love dogs, veterinary television, wildlife stories, podcasting, or simply want to know what happens when the cameras start rolling on an animal TV production, this episode offers a fascinating look behind the curtain.

The goal was to take basic dog-training principles and apply them in a simple, practical way that could help shelter volunteers, fosters, and ultimately the dogs themselves.We talk about rewarding the behaviors we want, redirecting the ones we do not, helping dogs decompress instead of overwhelming them, and why taking every shelter dog straight out for a walk may not always be the best first step.A few of the biggest takeaways:Consistency and frequency matter more than trying to cram everything into long training sessions.Good management can reduce overstimulation and give dogs a better chance to succeed.The Readers, Groomers, and Walkers progression gives dogs time to become comfortable with people before asking more from them.Matching dogs and volunteers by experience level can help keep both the dogs and the people working with them safer.Fostering and shelter work should help prepare dogs for life in a real home.The goal is not simply getting dogs adopted. It is helping them stay in their forever homes.If you want to take a deeper look at the ideas in the episode, Forever Home: Dog Training 101 & How to Be a Better Shelter Volunteer is available here:Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Forever-Home-Training-Shelter-Volunteer-ebook/dp/B00CSVQGGQK.I.S.S.

  On September 11, 2001, hundreds of working dogs and their handlers answered the call. They searched through twisted steel and concrete, guided people out of the World Trade Center, recovered those who were lost, and offered comfort to firefighters and recovery workers during one of the darkest moments in American history. In this special episode of Dog Works Radio, Michele Forto remembers the dogs of 9/11 and the handlers who trusted them to do extraordinary work under extraordinary conditions. The episode shares stories of dogs including Sirius, Roselle, Salty, Apollo, Trakr, and Bretagne, while also exploring the lasting effect September 11 had on search-and-rescue training, veterinary research, and how we understand working dogs. The episode also closes with a personal connection. Robert and Michele later named a litter of their own sled dogs after 9/11 rescue dogs, including Tikva and Bretagne, giving this remembrance a connection that extends well beyond the history books.

When polished content replaces practical experience. In Episode 374 of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn Cooke and Pat Stuart examine AI slop in dog training and the growing distance between content that looks authoritative and work that survives contact with a real dog. The conversation begins with an attempt to modernise the podcast's episode artwork using artificial intelligence. At first glance, the result looked convincing. Look more closely and Pat and Glenn's faces had changed, the dogs had been subtly altered and the words on Pat's T-shirt had become complete nonsense. It was polished, visually appealing and almost right. That failure became the starting point for a much larger discussion: what happens when “almost right” information is presented with enough confidence and professional design that people stop examining it properly? From there, Glenn and Pat explore artificial intelligence, online echo chambers, practical dog-training skill, professional accountability, legislative pressure and the increasingly hostile divide between sections of the dog-training industry. Episode note: This is a candid and sometimes blunt discussion. Criticism within the episode is directed at particular forms of online conduct, ideological campaigning and claims made without equivalent practical scrutiny. It is not a blanket criticism of force-free trainers. Glenn and Pat explicitly acknowledge capable trainers across different methodologies and discuss professional referrals in both directions. In This Episode Glenn and Pat discuss: The AI-generated image that changed their faces and produced nonsense text Why AI promotional material is beginning to look increasingly repetitive How artificial intelligence can reinforce a user's existing beliefs The difference between information about dog training and the physical skill of training a dog The difficult space between reinforcement and the next shaping repetition Timing, restraint, release, pressure and frustration during practical training The importance of measurable outcomes and professional accountability Online echo chambers and the rewards attached to polarised content Owners living with dangerous or severely challenging dogs Dog-training timelines that may not be practical for every household Attempts to restrict or prohibit particular training methods The difference between methodological disagreement and personal campaigning Common ground between capable balanced and force-free trainers The role of professional friendships, observation and appropriate client referrals Glenn's closing reflection on respectful disagreement and the future of the industry AI Slop in Dog Training The phrase “AI slop” is often used to describe the flood of generic, repetitive material now appearing online. The individual image, article or graphic may initially look impressive, but the effect diminishes when the same structure, wording and design appear everywhere. Glenn and Pat discuss seeing the same dark backgrounds, repeated layouts, predictable typography and recycled arguments across community groups, dog-training pages and professional advertising. The greater concern is not simply unoriginal artwork. It is the possibility that artificial intelligence can give a polished form to ideas that have not been properly examined. Someone can begin with anger, certainty or a fixed ideological position and ask an AI system to formulate the argument. The resulting material may appear articulate, balanced and professionally produced even though the original premise has never been tested against practical outcomes. Repeated approval can then produce its own feedback loop. A person publishes increasingly polarised content, receives validation from a like-minded audience and becomes more committed to producing the material that generated the attention. Can AI Replace Practical Dog-Training Experience? The strongest practical section of the episode centres on shaping. When a dog offers a desired behaviour, the trainer marks and reinforces it. However, the period between the dog receiving the reinforcer and beginning the next repetition can be one of the messiest parts of the exercise. The dog may still be eating. The handler may begin talking too soon. The dog may wander immediately back towards the target without a clear separation between repetitions. Glenn explains that the trainer may need to hold or restrain the dog briefly, create separation, feel the dog beginning to lean back towards the task and then release at the appropriate moment. That restriction and release can also create useful frustration, energy and clarity. It is possible to describe the general process in words, but competent application depends on timing, observation and physical feel. Those qualities are developed by repeatedly working dogs, making errors, adjusting technique and learning to recognise what is happening in front of you. AI can provide information. It cannot physically feel the dog loading into the task, assess the quality of the next repetition or adjust its hands in real time. Practical Experience Must Be Measurable Glenn and Pat argue that professional dog trainers should be prepared to have their work measured. That measurement may come through dog sports, client outcomes, repeat business, behavioural change or the trainer's ability to demonstrate work under scrutiny. A paying client does not have to remain with a trainer whose advice produces no improvement. A competitor enters the field knowing that their handling and training will be assessed. A professional whose business depends on retaining students must continually provide information that those students find useful. That creates a feedback system between theory and outcome. Online commentary does not necessarily carry the same level of accountability. A person can publish attractive graphics, quote studies and repeat an accepted position without regularly demonstrating how the recommendations perform with complex dogs in real environments. The central question is not whether someone can explain a theory. It is whether they can apply it, test it, adjust it and produce a meaningful result. Real Owners and Serious Dogs The conversation becomes more serious when Glenn describes owners living with severe behavioural problems. These are not abstract debates conducted through comments and social-media graphics. They involve people sitting in their homes, questioning whether they can continue living with the dog and, in some cases, whether the dog can remain alive. Some owners may accept a long-term process measured in years. Others are dealing with immediate safety concerns, deteriorating quality of life or a household that is close to collapse. Glenn and Pat argue that trainers must be able to discuss different options honestly. The owner should understand the likely timeframe, the risks, the practical requirements and the probable consequences of each approach. Dog training cannot be separated from the circumstances of the people living with the dog. A theoretical programme that cannot be maintained within the household may offer little practical value, regardless of how defensible it appears online. When Methodology Becomes Identity A significant portion of the episode examines what happens when a training preference becomes an ideological identity. Glenn and Pat distinguish between practitioners who genuinely prefer to minimise pressure and commentators whose public output appears to focus primarily on condemning other trainers. Disagreement about training methods is legitimate. Trainers can examine evidence, question techniques, debate welfare and decide that they would not personally use a particular approach. The problem arises when disagreement becomes a campaign to label all opposing practice as abuse, prevent owners from accessing alternatives or legislate competing methods out of existence. The episode also addresses a hostile review left about the podcast. Rather than allowing it to dictate the entire discussion, Glenn uses it to make a broader point: some online accounts appear to gain recognition through being combative towards others rather than through demonstrating the quality of their own training. The hosts' concern is that decisions about dogs may increasingly be influenced by partial information, public pressure and people who do not fully understand the practical consequences of the restrictions they support. Good Trainers Can Still Find Common Ground One of the most important sections of Episode 374 is the acknowledgement that capable balanced and force-free trainers often have far more in common than social media suggests. Pat estimates that a good balanced trainer and a good force-free trainer may conduct approximately 80 per cent of their work similarly. Both may use reinforcement, develop motivation, build clear communication, structure repetitions and adjust the programme to the dog in front of them. The differences may still matter, but they do not erase the considerable common ground. Pat also explains that there are dogs he trains through an essentially force-free process because those dogs already possess sufficient power, drive and intensity. Other dogs may benefit from carefully managed adversity, pressure or consequences. Different dogs can require different approaches. The discussion then turns to professional relationships. Glenn mentions Nick, a trainer who maintained a friendship with Pat despite sitting on the opposite side of the methodological debate for many years. They exchanged ideas, gave one another advice and remained able to discuss dog training without demanding ideological agreement. Pat also describes receiving referrals from force-free trainers who recognise that a particular case has reached the boundary of their preferred approach. He explains that he has likewise referred clients to suitable force-free trainers when that practitioner was the better fit for the owner. That is the standard Glenn and Pat believe real professionals should pursue: honest discussion, appropriate referral and the welfare of the dog taking priority over ownership of the client. Near Enough Isn't Good Enough The failed AI artwork becomes the episode's central metaphor. It looked right until people examined it. The faces were nearly right. The dogs were nearly right. The shirt was nearly right. The overall composition was professional enough to obscure the errors for a moment. Dog-training information deserves greater scrutiny. Before accepting a confident online claim, Glenn encourages people to do the physical legwork. Visit trainers. Observe dogs. Examine outcomes. Ask how the method performs outside the graphic, caption or theoretical statement. Good presentation is not proof of good training. Popularity is not proof of practical competence. Agreement within an online community is not proof that the underlying position is correct. Near enough is not good enough when an owner, a family, a neighbourhood or a dog may have to live with the consequences. The episode closes with Glenn reflecting on the many years he has spent in the profession. He remembers an industry in which people could disagree strongly, remain respectful and still learn from one another. Despite his frustration with the current hostility, he retains faith that enough people still value honest conversation, professional growth and genuine concern for dogs to move the industry in a better direction.

  If walking your dog feels more like being towed down the trail, the problem probably is not your leash, collar, or lack of exercise. It is the way your dog has learned the walk. In this episode of Dog Works Radio, Michele Forto from Alaska Dog Works explains why dogs pull, how owners accidentally reinforce the behavior, and why equipment alone rarely solves the problem. She breaks down the importance of timing, teaching the dog that a slack leash keeps the walk moving, and practicing the behavior where it actually matters: neighborhoods, parking lots, sidewalks, trails, and busy Alaska trailheads. A reliable walk should work whether you are heading through Wasilla on a Tuesday or Anchorage on a Saturday. The goal is not simply getting your dog tired enough to stop pulling. It is training both ends of the leash so the behavior holds up in real life.

Send us Fan MailHow strict do you really need to be when training your dog?In this episode of Think Like a Dog, Millie is joined by trainers Easton, Jill, and Brandon to break down what they call the “negotiation phase” of dog training, finding the balance between an ideal training plan and one an owner can realistically follow.The trainers discuss where they're willing to make adjustments and where certain boundaries simply can't be compromised, especially when safety or serious behavioral issues are involved.They cover:• Crate training and when it makes sense to start small• Furniture boundaries and managing conflict between dogs• Leash walking, structured walks, and allowing your dog to sniff• Why daily exercise and fulfillment are non-negotiable• Muzzle training for dogs with bite risks or reactivity• Structured feeding, toys, and resource guarding• Dog parks, doggy daycare, and healthy socialization• Using the place command in everyday life• Adjusting training around work schedules, family dynamics, and lifestyle• Why the best dog training plan is ultimately one the owner will actually followDog training doesn't have to look exactly the same in every household. The goal is to understand which rules are essential for your dog's progress and safety, and where you can find realistic compromises without losing sight of the bigger goal.If you're struggling with crate training, leash reactivity, resource guarding, boundaries, or simply figuring out how to make dog training fit into your everyday life, this episode will help you understand where to start.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9@OzzieAlbiesFoundationWork with Mirror Image K9 here:  https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest:https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.comLearn More About The Best Chance Program:https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

“Don't trust your dog. Trust your training.”Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, sit down with Paul Bunker of Chiron K9. His path from an English farm to British military explosives work eventually led him into conservation detection projects around the globe.Deemed too short for the London police, Paul joined the British military in 1982 and was later tasked, after a fatal minefield accident, with training dogs to clear a safe path to stranded casualties.It was thanks to that project that he coined the “donut effect”, where buried mines leak odor sideways through rainwater rather than straight up. This means dogs must be taught to fringe-sit at the edge of that ring rather than push toward the source.Decades later, that same science shaped his work locating buried Anegada rock iguana nests. Reconnaissance showed the eggs sit in a chamber up to a meter underground, meaning the dog could never be trained on the eggs themselves. Instead, they can learn to detect the filtered headspace odor that actually reaches the surface, built using island sand that Paul smuggled home in Ziploc bags (which nearly got him detained at customs!).Paul illustrates the physics behind the donut effect. Using the example of a coffee filter, he shows that crude oil, once diluted into water, still smells like oil even though it looks crystal clear.That principle underlies nearly everything he trains for, from truffles to human remains, and demands dogs that hunt with intense, ground-level sniffing rather than casual air-scenting.Trusting a dog, Paul argues, starts with trusting the training built behind it. Key Topics:From English Farm Boy to British Army Dog Handler (02:55)A Fatal Minefield Accident and the Birth of a Rescue-Dog Program (11:14)The "Donut Effect": How Buried Mines Leak Odor (15:08)Beyond Landmines: Truffles, Oil, Tobacco, and Water Leaks (22:09)Training Pena for Anegada's Iguana Nests (23:56)The Coffee-Filter Trick: Understanding Diluted Molecules (38:19)Ground Sniffing vs. Air Scenting for Historical Remains (44:31)Liberal vs. Conservative Dogs and Clicker Training (51:12) Resources:Chiron K9: https://chiron-k9.com/The Detection Dog Lab Skool: https://www.skool.com/the-detection-dog-lab-7184/aboutThe Detection of Buried Targets by Canines (book): https://books.by/chiron-k9s-bookstore/the-detection-of-buried-targPublications: https://chiron-k9.com/publications/Texas Tech Canine Olfaction Lab: https://www.depts.ttu.edu/afs/people/nathan-hall/CanineOlfactionLab/index.phpJoint Symposium for Working K9s: https://www.jswk9.com/ 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.

Hey Dog Lover

Service dog training is about much more than putting a vest on a dog and teaching basic obedience. A reliable service dog must have the right temperament, learn specific disability-related tasks, demonstrate strong public-access behavior, and continue performing consistently in the real world. In this episode of Dog Works Radio, Michele Forto explains what service dog training really looks like in Alaska. She discusses how service dogs differ from therapy dogs and emotional support animals, how dogs are evaluated for service work, why training commonly takes 18 to 24 months, and what owner-trained teams should expect. You'll also hear about challenges unique to Alaska, including winter weather, limited daylight, wildlife, long travel distances, ferries, small aircraft, and fewer training resources in rural communities. Most importantly, Michele explains why choosing the right dog and setting realistic expectations from the beginning can make the difference between a successful working team and a frustrating experience.

Dog Training Podcast, I talk about what dog owners should really expect from a good trainer. It is not always the trainer who can get a dog to do the coolest things who is going to help you the most. The real goal is to create a simple, realistic routine that fits the dog, the owner, the household, and the problem you are trying to solve.A good trainer should be able to break training into manageable steps, help you practice when things are easy before making them harder, and adjust the plan when something is not working.A few of the biggest takeaways:Training has to fit into the owner's real life or it will not get practiced.Start simple, build success, and then add distractions.The real training happens between sessions.A good trainer should be available to help troubleshoot problems along the way.Small successes build routines, and routines create progress.The goal is not to dump more exercises on the owner. It is to help the owner understand what to do, why they are doing it, and how to adjust when things do not go as planned.K.I.S.S. Dog TrainingDog Training Ain't Cheap...

Send us Fan MailIn this Q&A episode of Think Like a Dog Podcast, Andreia and Millie answer listener questions about some of the most common, and frustrating, challenges dog owners face.They break down what to do when leash corrections actually make reactivity worse, how excitement and rough play with other dogs can contribute to frustration on walks, and why teaching your dog to calmly exist around things they want can be such an important skill.They also discuss how to make moving to a new home easier for your dog, the safest position and training approach when running with your dog, and how pressure and release can create clearer communication on leash.Then, Andreia and Millie take a deeper look at crate and separation anxiety, including why the problem isn't always about the crate itself. Using real foster dogs Jeter and Rusty as examples, they explain how attachment, freedom outside the crate, daily routines, consistency, and following through with boundaries can all affect a dog's ability to settle.Finally, they answer an important question: Is it ever too late to change your relationship with your dog? Whether your dog is one year old or nine, structure, place work, crate training, and structured walks aren't simply "training exercises", they're part of creating a clearer, calmer way to live together.Topics include:Leash reactivity and fixation on other dogsWhen prong collar corrections increase activationPressure and release on the leashTeaching neutrality around dogs and exciting environmentsMoving to a new home with your dogRunning safely with your dogHarnesses, slip leads, and e-collar communicationCrate anxiety vs. separation and attachment issuesBuilding independence through place and crate workThe importance of consistencyTraining and introducing structure to older dogsWhy dog training is ultimately a lifestyle, not a list of commandsSupport the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9@OzzieAlbiesFoundationWork with Mirror Image K9 here:  https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest:https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.comLearn More About The Best Chance Program:https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

When your dog reacts to another dog or a person on leash, it can become very stressful, embarrassing, and exhausting. Many of the people I work with have leash-reactive dogs, and I have extensive experience addressing leash reactivity. It does take a long time to improve leash reactivity. It's not an overnight process. There's no quick fix. If your dog barks, lunges, freezes, growls, or completely loses their mind when they see another dog or a person, that is considered leash reactivity.If you need help housebreaking your new puppy, visit pottytrainingyourpuppy.com for FREE resources.

Dog training motivation is not simply about how quickly a dog performs or how intensely they pursue a reward. Does your dog genuinely enjoy training, or have they simply learned to chase the food, ball or tug at the end of it? The difference matters. When the reward is the only valuable part, performance can become dependent on what the dog can see, while the training itself holds very little value. In Episode 372 of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn Cooke and Pat Stuart explore dog training motivation, what actually matters to the individual dog, and how handlers can build training that dogs actively choose to participate in. What Actually Matters to Your Dog? Owners can easily assume they know what their dog values. Some dogs are strongly motivated by food, while others place greater value on play, movement, social interaction, environmental access, relief from pressure or the opportunity to perform the work itself. Understanding dog training motivation requires us to observe the individual dog rather than decide what should motivate them. A reward is only reinforcing if it genuinely increases or strengthens the behaviour that preceded it. Creating Dog Training Motivation That Lasts Creating value in the game means allowing the handler, cues, equipment and opportunity to work to predict worthwhile outcomes. Sessions should be clear, rewarding and short enough to preserve the dog's enthusiasm. Visible lures should gradually disappear. Reward placement and timing should support the next repetition, while difficulty should increase without producing constant failure. The aim is a dog that engages before seeing the payment, persists when challenged and recovers comfortably from mistakes. For sporting and working dogs, intensity alone is not enough. Strong motivation also includes clarity, connection and the ability to settle after the work finishes. Fair pressure and well-timed correction can exist within balanced training, but they cannot compensate for confusing criteria or a game the dog was never taught to value. Key Takeaways Motivation is individual and can change with the situation. Reinforcement is defined by its effect on behaviour, not the handler's intention. A visible reward can support learning, but it should not become the dog's only reason to perform. Genuine engagement includes enthusiasm, clarity, resilience and connection with the handler. The goal is to create a dog that chooses the training game, even before the payment appears. Frequently Asked Questions Does using food mean my dog only works for food? No. Food can help establish a strong reinforcement history. The aim is to prevent the dog from becoming dependent on seeing the food before performing. How can I tell whether my dog enjoys training? Look for voluntary engagement, anticipation, resilience after mistakes and a willingness to participate when the reward is not visible. Can corrections reduce a dog's motivation? Poorly timed, confusing or excessive corrections can create conflict. Fair and understandable communication should clarify the task without overwhelming the value already built into the activity.

What if the path from drug dealing to military service to training over 6,000 dogs worldwide could teach you the one thing most dog owners get completely wrong? Ryan Matthews, former US Army combat canine handler and founder of World of Dog Training, reveals why your frustrated relationship with your dog isn't really about your dog at all. After surviving combat PTSD, cancer, and life-threatening injuries, Ryan discovered that the same leadership principles that kept him alive overseas are exactly what creates the calm, confident dogs every owner dreams of having. His anti-dog training approach flips traditional methods upside down, focusing on energy, mindset, and the uncomfortable truth about why dogs manipulate their humans.Ryan breaks down the two types of dogs every owner needs to recognize, why reward-based training often backfires, and his revolutionary pause method that transforms behavior in minutes instead of months. From his military working dog Rex to his current telepathic communication with Zeus, you'll discover how understanding your dog's energy and body language creates a relationship deeper than most people have with other humans. Whether you're struggling with a rescue dog's trauma or simply want to stop being outsmarted by your family pet, this conversation will shift how you see leadership, communication, and the incredible intelligence of the animals sharing our lives.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

What to listen for:“The certification isn't about proving that the dog can find a leak. It's about giving utilities confidence that the professional team can perform consistently, safely, ethically, and competently.”Lolita Shaffer joins our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, in this two-part conversation to talk all things water leak detection!It's a growing niche in the dog training world, but a pretty important one. After all, America's water utilities maintain 2.2 million miles of drinking-water pipe, enough to circle the globe 88 times, and industry estimates put coming rate hikes sharply higher as aging, "non-revenue" leaks go unfound.Acoustic listening equipment, the current industry standard, can hear a hissing pipe but also every earthworm, bug, and passing car, leaving handlers to triangulate blind. Dogs, calibrated on-site to a utility's own water before every job, can generalize across leaks ranging from a quarter-gallon a minute to tens of thousands, including one Florida job under an interstate that was gushing 70,000 gallons a minute.Lolita traces her own path into the work back to hunting-dog trials and a sister already doing human remains detection. It's a lineage that Robin, coming from cadaver-dog work herself, recognizes immediately in how hydrology carries odor whether the "victim" is a body or a busted water main.Lolita has worked with Water Professionals International to build credentialing that treats handler-and-dog teams the way plumbers or engineers are licensed, and is portable across state lines. She has a five-year goal of turning "detection dog" into a real, benefits-earning career.

Send us Fan MailWe're back with Part 2 of Common Dog Training Misconceptions Explained.In this episode of Think Like a Dog Extended, the team breaks down even more of the most common things they hear from dog owners, and the psychology behind why these beliefs can sometimes get in the way of progress.We talk about why not every dog is meant to be a service or therapy dog, how breed genetics and individual personality should shape your expectations, and why your dog doesn't necessarily need to love every person or dog they meet.We also get into separation anxiety, crate training, enrichment toys, muzzle stigma, why having a big backyard doesn't replace walking your dog, leash reactivity vs. dog park behavior, assumptions about a rescue dog's past, and the problem with jumping from one TikTok dog-training method to another.The biggest takeaway: stop trying to fit your dog into the dog you imagined and start training the dog in front of you.No judgment, just honest conversations, common patterns we see every day, and practical advice to help owners better understand their dogs.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9@OzzieAlbiesFoundationWork with Mirror Image K9 here:  https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest:https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.comLearn More About The Best Chance Program:https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/
