HOW DO YOU ALL DO BOOKSHELVERS!? Another fortnight has passed and that means another sparkling new episode of Barks from the Bookshelf is here to tickle your, dog nerd, ear buds into joyus submission. This week is a WHOPPER of an episode BUT it's a whopper for a very good reason! This week We are thrilled to interview the wonderful force of nature that is Linda Michaels, M.A., Psychology about her book The Do No Harm Dog Training & Behaviour Handbook. As many of you already know, Linda will be crossing the Atlantic and speaking at the DOGx 2024 conference this October. You'll get a glimpse into the “force of nature” that is Linda Michaels during this interview as we discuss her origins, the decisions and processes that led to the book itself, the development of the Hierarchy of Dog Needs, activism and some, good old psychology as well. We also get a taster of what's to come at DOGx. There really isn't enough words to describe Linda's role in moving the dog training and behaviour world forward so you'll just have to listen. On top of all that Corrin, Nat and Steve talk through the book and answer your Bookshelver questions in their own rambling style.   Linda Facts:Linda Michaels, M.A., Psychology, author of the ground-breaking, best-seller, The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook— Featuring the Hierarchy of Dog Needs pioneers the “First, Do No Harm” ethics approach in dog training. With an advanced degree in psychology and animal behaviour, research conducted in behavioural neurobiology, and five years of shelter and rescue experience, Linda's work bridges a gap between science, dog trainers, and pet parents with hands-on skills with dogs, wolfdogs, and the famed Belyaev foxes. Linda tells us, “My shelter experience working with the most difficult behavioural cases helped lay the foundation for all of the work I do today in animal care and training, protecting both the physical and the emotional well-being of the heartbeats at our feet.”Linda is considered one of the modern-era, trailblazing experts and influencers in canine behaviour consulting and animal welfare advocacy. Her internationally acclaimed Hierarchy of Dog Need teaching tool, now translated into 14 languages, is endorsed by canine scientists and ethologists as well as trainers, new and seasoned, and is available FREE. The Hierarchy of Dog Needs offers a clear, dog-centric alternative to the outdated, teaching paradigms widely used today.The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook combines compassion with science in an easy-to-follow roadmap to success, providing answers to common and complex dog behaviour problems. Illustrating the most effective methods endorsed by the greatest minds in dog training and behaviour, dog lovers are taken on a journey to understanding and meeting their dog's needs. The first section of The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook is devoted to detailing each item on the Hierarchy of Dog Needs. By addressing needs first, pet parents and trainers often find that many behaviour problems may all but disappear. The meticulously researched handbook tackles the most challenging issues faced by dog lovers and pet professionals, including: nutrition, veterinary and grooming visits, basic training skills, aggression, and separation anxiety. With a foreword by Dr. Marc Bekoff, co-founder with Jane Goodall of the Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the handbook is scientifically supported with 18 pages of scholarly journal citations and a detailed index.You may find Linda in international trade magazines, and as a featured expert in Psychology Today online, Newsweek online, Huffington Post Live, Wolf Dog Radio, as an APBC, Dog-Centered Care, Barking Up the Right Tree International Festival for Reactive Dogs, KIENO Summit, Puppy Blueprint, Dog Wisdom webinar presenter, and speaker at the inaugural Pet Professional Guild Summit on “Understanding Research—Making the Case for Force-free Dog Training.”Linda founded the wildly popular Do No Harm Dog Training Facebook group where you can easily find her, and recently launched the DoNoHarmDogTraining.com swag store.Links:Amazon Link to purchase The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behavior Handbook:https://www.amazon.com/dp/1732253706?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_6R09BF50YG2ZBDZPKCHB&language=en-USThe Do No Harm Website & Store:https://www.donoharmdogtraining.com/DOGx Tickets:https://www.pact-dogs.com/dogx2024Subscribe to receive a weekly PACT Lunch:https://www.pact-dogs.com/

Marc Bekoff is professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado He is also an ambassador for Jane Goodall's international Roots & Shoots program, in which he works with students of all ages, senior citizens, and prisoners and co-chair of the Ethics Committee of the Jane Goodall Institute. Additionally, Marc & Jane co-founded the organization Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals: Citizens for Responsible Animal Behavior Studies in 2000. Marc's main areas of research have included animal behavior, cognitive ethology (the study of animal minds), behavioral ecology, and compassionate conservation. His research and writing reflect his on-going and eclectic interests that center on the basic tenets of compassionate conservation, namely, "First do no harm" and the life of every individual matter because they are alive and have intrinsic value, not because of what they can do for us. Marc and I chatted about his upcoming project, about dogs and what they would do if one day we would disappear (as a thought experiment), animal behavior & emotions and some misconceptions people have about puppy mills & other topics. Marc is really a trailblazer in his field and it was a pleasure having him on the show to share in some of the knowledge he has.

Dogs didn't come into my life until they became my first “grandchildren.” I was used to cats, but large dogs were a new experience for me. As I learned more about dogs and started relating to them as individuals, I developed loving and meaningful relationships with each of them. On a recent visit, I was calling for my daughter when their dog came up behind me, gently pushed me to get my attention, then turned around and led me to a closed door. My daughter was behind the door. Before I knew that this dog speaks to me through body language, I might have thought she was pushing me or poking her nose in personal areas. Not now, though. My automatic response was to turn around and follow her. To provide the best life for our dogs, we need to know the truth about their needs and behavior. Here are just a few myths that we will dispel: dogs love us unconditionally; we are dogs' best friends; and all dogs need is a bed and food. Please join us Thursday to learn the truth about dogs.

How does compassion play a role in ecological conservation?   In what way does our treatment of animals impact the way we treat ourselves and the planet?   Marc Bekoff is an animal behaviorist who argues that turning away from human exceptionalism and theoretical prejudices are the keys to expanding our compassionate footprint and making our conservation efforts more effective.   As the author of more than 1,000 essays and 30 books, Marc is a leading voice in the fields of ecology, animal behavior, and cognitive ethology.   Among his many accomplishments, he, with Jane Goodall, is a co-founder of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and he was the first American to win his age class at the Tour du Haut Var bicycle race.   Marc joins us in this episode to discuss empathy, dissonance and connecting with who nonhuman animals are.   What we discuss in this episode:   - What it means to rewild yourself, connect with nature, and acknowledge nonhuman animals for who they are   - How overstimulation has made us discontent and disconnected from the natural world   - What happens to your brain when you go outside? How nature affects your mood and mind   - It’s who we eat, not what we eat: How diet impacts our connection to the world   - How we use convenience and nonhuman animals’ perceived utility to create cognitive dissonance   - Is there a connection between intelligence and suffering? What cognitive ethology teaches us about animals’ emotional lives   - The importance of spending time with “food animals”: animal personalities, Kappurot, and a story from Marc’s Animal Manifesto   - Do bees get depressed and do elephants mourn? Marc explains animal emotions and why they act the way they do   - Marc’s insights about domestication, animal advocacy, and diet   - Follow Marc on Twitter at @MarcBekoff or on his website at marcbekoff.com   Connect with Switch4Good   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   https://twitter.com/SwitchForGood   switch4good.org

As a child in Brooklyn, Marc Bekoff grew up with, love, compassion, empathy and a goldfish.Marc kept his compassion and become a compassionate conservationist. In this episode of MHP, Marc talks about his life; from a childhood spent asking what animals were thinking, to a career as a renowned leader in the field of animal behavior and an acclaimed author of many books and scientific papers.Marc chats about the importance of naming animals in science; why animal welfare just doesn’t cut it; taking Temple Grandin to task for her ‘Stairways to Heaven’, and why ‘the human age’ should be called the ‘rage of inhumanity’. Every Friday you’ll find him at the Boulder County jail and when he’s not writing prolifically or off on a marathon bike ride, he’ll be picking up a crappy novel from his bedside table. Marc Bekoff is professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology a the University of Colorado. Amongst his many achievements he is a Guggenheim Fellow and co-founder with Jane Goodall of the Ethologists for Ethical Treatment of Animals: Citizens for Responsible Animal Behavior Studies. He has published over 30 books and his latest book The Animals’ Agenda, with co-author Jessica Pierce will be published in April 2017.You can find out more about Marc at www.marcbekoff.comwww.myhomeplanet.org

In February 2010 a panicked zebra ran loose down a major Atlanta freeway at rush hour sustaining fatal injuries, the same month at Orlando's SeaWorld a whale trainer was dragged underwater to her death by a 12,000-lb killer whale, and this week in Mumbai an angry 56-year-old female elephant killed a man who entered her enclosure by picking him up with her trunk and slamming him into a wall. From food production to circus acts to scientific stud, animals have a long and controversial history in the lives of humans who not only learn from studying their biology but what they in turn teach us about our own behaviors.This week, Skepticality welcomes back Dr. Marc Bekoff, Professor Emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado who alongside Jane Goodall co-founded the organization "Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals". Dr. Bekoff discusses his book The Animal Manifesto: Six Reasons for Expanding Our Compassion Footprint citing supporting current scientific research to outline six guiding principles designed to increase awareness of the deplorable conditions animals experience across a broad spectrum of activities, and what those of us who are concerned can do to help.
