Send us a textIn this episode, Millie does a consultation with a dog owner navigating life with a reactive dog. Together, they break down what reactivity really looks like day-to-day, from sensitivity to movement and barking at guests, to the stress that comes with everyday handling like nail care.Millie walks through how reactivity often stems from a lack of clear boundaries, trust, and calm leadership, and explains why slowing things down is key to long-term progress. The conversation focuses on creating a more structured, peaceful environment for the dog, setting realistic expectations, and recognizing small wins along the way.They wrap up by outlining clear goals for future training sessions, emphasizing consistency, patience, and relationship-building as the foundation for helping reactive dogs feel safer and more confident in their world.This episode is a must-listen for anyone working through reactivity, struggling with handling issues, or looking to better understand their dog's behavior from a training-first perspective.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/

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   When a new puppy arrives, the change in routine can create big feelings for an adult dog who has been part of every training session. Behaviors that look surprising are often signs of stress rather than spite or defiance. When we stay curious, it becomes easier to notice what our dogs may be trying to communicate. I'm sharing simple ways to support your adult dog so they can feel calm and confident while you focus on training your new puppy.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why dogs are not capable of spite the way we imagine. • Two questions to ask ourselves that shift how we understand behavior. • My student's story about an adult dog's unexpected behavior. • The cognitive bias behind assuming dogs are 'spiteful.' • Why curiosity strengthens connection and removes blame. • How stress changes physiology, with 2 personal real life examples. • The importance of ruling out medical conditions before assuming behavior issues. • Other stressors that can affect behavior. • How to support your adult dog during the puppy transition using the 3 E's (Exercise, Engagement, Enrichment). • A step-by-step plan to create calm and confidence for your older dog while your puppy is being trained. • How to use Hot Zones, Crate Games, and relaxation strategies to prevent stress in your adult dog. • The power of choosing curiosity to understand what your dog is communicating.   Get Crate Games Online: Crate Games Online - https://get.crategames.com/   Resources:   1.

Fear doesn't mean stop; it usually means go. Meg sits down with trainer and coach Oscar Mora to trace the real path from a steady aerospace paycheck to a ranch built for teaching, trialing, and building a club where honest feedback and consistent reps change both dogs and handlers. We talk about the moment his wife said “it's time,” the practical signs he watched before quitting, and how discomfort became a compass for growth rather than a reason to freeze.From there we dive into the craft. Oscar breaks down why pet skills and sport skills speak the same language—clean markers, fair criteria, and rewards that match the dog in front of you. He lays out how to get into sport without weekly decoy access by focusing on obedience, neutrality, and structured play. We explore off-breeds in sport, what a Corso can teach a handler about patience and pressure, and how finishing something with the dog you have often builds more skill than endlessly chasing a “perfect” prospect.Puppy selection gets specific: confidence over defensiveness, love of chase, possession, and full grips. For dogs with too much gas, he explains how to install breaks early so the dog can think under conflict—like clearing a jump with a toy screaming from behind. We get candid about social media pressure, why trainers should serve clients instead of peers, and how a culture of private, constructive critique grows people faster than public takedowns. Most importantly, we show how play isn't just fun; it's a system for building engagement, solving reactivity, and turning stress into skills that hold up in real life.Stick around for details on Oscar's upcoming course, a free newsletter that translates training videos into step-by-step takeaways, and a two-day play workshop on February 21–22 in Upland designed for pet owners and aspiring sport handlers alike. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—then tell us the one skill you're training this week.To sign up for Oscar's upcoming workshops, check out his website here.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

DESCRIPTION Are you working flat out in your dog business but still not paying yourself what you "need" – never mind what you "want"? In this episode, Jo & Vicky dive into the messy subject of pricing your dog services. They unpack the difference between your "need number" and your "want number", how to sense-check your current prices against your goals, and why simply “charging more” won´t work if the service itself doesn't deliver a premium experience.  You'll come away with a straightforward way to assess your current pricing, your offers, and how to attract the right clients - people who want what you offer and are able to pay what you are worth. You´ll be able to build a dog business that actually supports the life you want, without your having to run yourself into the ground. KEY TAKEAWAYS Copying other people's prices or inherited packages rarely works– it's a quick fix that often keeps you undercharging for your time and expertise.  Bear in mind that a “one-hour” service rarely takes only an hour to deliver. Travel, prep, follow-up and admin all eat into your day and must be reflected in your pricing alongside overheads like running your business vehicle and rent.  Your “need number” is what you must earn each month to cover living costs. Your “want number” is the higher income that lets you fund your bigger goals and “dream life” extras.  Your "need number" combined with your "want number" will give you a clear income target and see whether your current offers and fees will realistically support your lifestyle and goals.  Doing the maths on how many clients or class places you sell each month helps you spot whether you have a lead-generation issue, a sales issue, or a pricing issue.  Premium pricing only works when the service delivers – structure, support and outcomes must create a genuine win–win for you and your clients. If it doesn´t you won´t attract and retain the type of clients, you need. Building a good reputation is critical to being able to charge what you want and keep attracting enough clients. BEST MOMENTS “It never put people off - the price. It was the value behind getting your dog walked on its own.” “Look at your numbers. Know how many inquiries you're bringing in each month. Know how many of the service you have to sell in order to hit your need number.” “Then you start to look at is it actually feasible to sell that many.” “Because it's a premium service now, whereas before, it was a scratchy service - it now warranted that higher price tag.” SOCIALS AND IMPORTANT LINKS https://www.tiktok.com/@letstalkdogbusiness https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkDogBusiness Website www.caninebusinessacademy.com Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caninebusinessacademycommunity Let´s Talk Dog Business Strategy Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lets-Talk-Dog-Business-Strategy/dp/1068791705 Email: hello@caninebusinessacademy.com Quiz: https://quiz.caninebusinessacademy.com/health-check ABOUT THE HOSTS We're Jo Moorcroft and Vicky Davies.

Do you remember the feeling you had when you first started hunting? Maybe it was the first time you were able to hunt on your own with no supervision. If you were born before social media it was not an event to capture content for likes and shares. More than likely it was not for a payout at a competition coonhunt. In this episode Seth and Chris kick off this series of podcasts about what got us hooked on hunting. What is the driving force behind our continuing to hunt. For the Love of Hunting. ►Get Your Houndsman XP Info, Gear & More Here!www.HoundsmanXP.com►Become a Patron of Houndsman XP!

Discover the famous story of Clever Hans, the early-1900s horse who amazed crowds by “answering” math questions—until researchers uncovered the truth: Hans wasn't doing calculations at all. He was reading subtle, unintentional cues from his handler. In this video, we break down what really happened with Clever Hans and explain why this lesson is crucial in detection dog training today. From cueing risks to handler influence and the importance of blind testing, you'll learn how trainers ensure dogs are responding to odor—not people. Perfect for anyone interested in scent work, detection sports, and the science behind reliable canine training. | Links mentioned: K-9 Detector Dog Training: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/186

In this episode, I'm breaking down ten of the most common ones aimed at positive reinforcement-based dog training, why they're not valid, and what you can do to create genuine conversations with people who hold a different view of dog training than you, all while staying centered and calm.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • What Straw Man arguments are and why they show up in dog training conversations. • Why these arguments misrepresent decades of science and practical application. • Ten common Straw Man claims made about positive reinforcement-based training and my response to each one - Straw Man Argument #1 - "Reinforcement trainers are just cookie pushers" - Straw Man Argument #2 - "Positive training won't work with high-drive dogs" - Straw Man Argument #3 - "Reinforcement takes too long, punishment is faster" - Straw Man Argument #4 - "Dogs need leaders, not more cookies" - Straw Man Argument #5 - "Dogs need punishment to learn what's wrong" - Straw Man Argument #6 - "Training only works if the dog can see the cookie" - Straw Man Argument #7 - "Positive trainers care more about the dog's emotion than outcomes" - Straw Man Argument #8 - "Your dog will never recall reliably without correction" - Straw Man Argument #9 - "A head halter is just another punishment tool" - Straw Man Argument #10 - "Positive trainers avoid punishment because they don't understand it" • How to stay centered, respond constructively, and keep conversations productive.   Resources:   1.

In this episode, we decode the essential but misunderstood concept of "giving your dog a job." Far from a gimmick, it's the key to solving common behavior problems rooted in boredom and unspent instinct. We explain why your dog's natural drives, when left unchanneled, lead to anxiety, destructive chewing, and excessive barking—and how you can transform those very instincts into a source of focus and deep satisfaction. You'll get a practical, step-by-step guide to identifying your dog's innate "job role," whether they're a sniffer, a retriever, a herder, or a watcher. Learn how to implement simple, daily "work sessions" that build confidence, strengthen your bond, and create the mentally tired, happy hound you've always wanted. Stop managing symptoms and start fulfilling your dog's core needs.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.

Building structure for your puppy in one of the best things you can do to help raise a happy, healthy, and obedient puppy.  In this episode of Puppy Talk I discuss the why and how of puppy structure. Why?Structure creates calmness in the puppy.Structure creates an opportunity for the puppy to succeed, not failStructure helps you, the puppy owner, have more control over the puppy's behavior, obedience, and discipline.How?Stick to a routine: wake up, potty, short walk, training, eat, play, potty again, and nap.Your puppy is in school and needs a balance of math, English, history, and science. Recess can come after the other subjects.DO NOT replace the essential subjects with play and affection. This is having your puppy in recess all day long.Purchase "The Business of Dog Training" on AmazonRESOURCES:Podcast Website: http://puppytalkpodcast.comSponsor Website: http://www.topgundogtraining.comDale's books: https://www.amazon.com/author/dalebuchanan

We often hear someone mention how annoying it is when their dog does *insert your annoying behavior here*. You can apply a couple of foundational dog training tips to fix that issue with your dog. In this live stream, we'll discuss a simple 3-step process for changing your dog's behavior. These tactics can be applied to SO MANY challenging "problems" that your dog doesn't even realize are a problem! You will become a much better leader for your dog using this strategy. And you'll start to see them making better choices. Barking, pulling on leash, jumping up, and several other troublesome issues can be fixed by looking at your training differently.

In this video, we discuss the dangers of using certain toys as rewards in detection dog training. Dog toys like Kongs and Tennis Balls are commonly used but they come with certain dangers and risks. Alternatively, we recommend using rolled up scented cotton towels, tied off with cotton string, as a primary reward. | Links mentioned: K-9 Detector Dog Training- https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/186

For dog owners:Always keep your dog on a leash. Listen to podcast episode 118. Never allow your dog to bark or lunge at another dog or people. Create distance immediately if this happens.Work with a trainer to prevent rectivity. Teach sit, wait, “watch-me” as alternative behaviors to reacting to stimuli. For parents of children:Never allow your child to pet a dog unless the dog is on a leash and calm.Never have your child reach their hand toward a dog's face or put their face close to a dog's face.Only allow the child to pet the dog on its side while the dog's owner holds it calmly on a leash. Related Episodes: #118 on October 7, 2025, and #97 on April 7, 2025. News story on WHNT News 19: https://youtu.be/JdtAaPczUoc?si=3CmznHd_sHV08uT9Purchase "The Business of Dog Training" on AmazonRESOURCES:Podcast Website: http://puppytalkpodcast.comSponsor Website: http://www.topgundogtraining.comDale's books: https://www.amazon.com/author/dalebuchanan

In this episode, Mariano and Brent sit down with Josh Beckler of K9 Optima for a powerful and thoughtful conversation on the craft of dog training, the value of humility, and the systems that shape great trainers. Josh shares his unique journey—from developing an early bond with dogs, to a career in corporate investigations, and ultimately to becoming a respected voice in the dog training community. His background gives him a rare, investigative lens on behavior, communication, and assessment that few trainers possess.Together, we explore the importance of slowing down, observing honestly, and building structured systems that allow both trainers and clients to succeed. Josh breaks down how skills from interviewing, public speaking, and corporate work naturally transfer to dog training—and why many trainers underestimate the power of these cross-disciplinary tools. He also speaks candidly about the Dunning-Kruger effect, the role of humility in growth, and how criticism—when taken correctly—can become a catalyst for better work.The conversation moves beyond technique into the deeper layers of what it means to teach, parent, lead, and communicate effectively. Josh offers insight into navigating social media with authenticity, creating transparency in your training process, and finding your “true north” when the noise of the industry gets loud. We also dive into his upcoming book, The Infinite Approach, where he aims to give trainers and dog owners a more complete, adaptable way to understand behavior and problem-solve without rigid ideology.Whether you're a new trainer, a seasoned professional, or someone seeking a more thoughtful approach to behavior, this episode is full of perspective, honesty, and the reminder that great training starts with great self-awareness.Topics include:Josh's journey from early dog connections to corporate investigationsHow investigative interviewing skills translate to dog trainingThe rise of social media and its impact on trainersBuilding systems, structure, and clarity into your training businessHumility, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and embracing criticismTransparency and authenticity in your training processParenting lessons that crossover into dog behavior workThe philosophy behind The Infinite Approach and redefining dog trainingCreating community, case studies, and forward-thinking resourcesMariano Alvarez IG @UNTAMEDDOGCO www.untameddogco.com Phoenix, AZBrent LaBrada IG @CANISBEHAVIOR www.canisdogtraining.com Los Angeles, CAJosh Beckler IG @K9OPTIMA www.k9optima.comBay Area, CA

Josh sits down with longtime CGA member and founding supporter Marshall Anliker to talk hunting, dogs, and the power of community. Marshall shares how a blizzard goose hunt with his great-grandfather lit the fire for waterfowling, how that led him to British Labradors and Southern Oak Kennels, and why Cornerstone has been part of his last three dogs.From college days stacking classes around duck hunts to running a roofing company and training high-drive British Labs at a high level, Marshall opens up about genetics, discipline, reward timing, and what it really means to “train the dog in front of you.” If you're serious about building a steady, family-friendly hunting companion and you love hearing real stories from real CGA members, this episode is for you.Want to learn how to train your hunting dog with confidence?Visit: Cornerstone Gundog AcademyNeed gear for training your retriever, like collars, dog training dummies, and more?Visit: Retriever Training SupplyInterested in sponsoring the BuildFromHere Podcast?Fill out this form and tell us more about promoting your product, service, or brand.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____When Devene Godau adopted a retired racing greyhound, she thought she was just rescuing a dog. Instead, she found her purpose. What started as an effort to help an anxious greyhound with separation anxiety became a lesson in communication, connection, and compassion. Those lessons didn't just transform her career; they changed how she saw herself.A certified professional dog trainer with ADHD, Devene spent more than 25 years working with everyone from family pets to professional scent detection dogs for the TSA. She learned that dogs, much like humans, thrive when they feel safe, understood, and motivated — not shamed into obedience. Her work with scent detection dogs taught her that behavior isn't about control, it's about clarity. The same applies to people. Now through her platform The Distracted Dog Lover, Devene helps neurodivergent dog owners build stronger bonds with their pets using humor, empathy, and science-based, real-world strategies that actually work.In this conversation, Devene and Tracy talk about why traditional training methods often fail for ADHD owners, what clicker training can teach us about communication, and how dogs mirror our emotions in ways that reveal what we need to work on ourselves. Devene also shares how gamifying training makes it easier to stay consistent, why sniffing literally boosts serotonin and calms a dog's nervous system, and how the best kind of learning happens when you stop aiming for perfection and start enjoying the process.Resources:Website: https://distracteddoglover.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/devene-godau-cpdt-ka-b696a71a0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/disney_devene Gerty: https://thegerty.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqWlLvwRhiG3tP96j9mICCIcZSa98gj5w1YRsy4jUJxWbZZtk4W Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

In this foundational video, Ed Frawley shares his comprehensive dog training philosophy developed over a remarkable journey that began in the 1950s and spans more than 50 years of hands-on experience. Ed explains that effective training is common sense combined with a clear understanding of how dogs think as pack animals who genetically seek ranking order and view their human family as their pack. He emphasizes that establishing sound family pack structure accounts for 75% of solving behavioral problems, while obedience training represents only 25%—dogs must respect their handlers as pack leaders through fair, firm, and consistent control, as love alone cannot earn respect. | Links mentioned: The Power of Training Dogs with Markers: https://leerburg.com/marker-dvd.php | Training Dogs with Food Rewards: https://leerburg.com/food-dvd.php | Basic Dog Obedience: https://leerburg.com/302.htm
