What to listen for:In today's episode, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal talk about overcoming imposter syndrome as a dog trainer, with a particular focus on what it means to “own” your training methodology.According to our hosts, a great trainer is able to package existing concepts into a cohesive framework that not only can be applied, but also adjusted on a dog-to-dog and team-to-team basis.Put another way, the lessons you teach as a trainer in 2023 are almost never wholly original, but what you own is the way you synthesize different ideas and the unique spin you put on them as you teach those lessons!Key Topics:Why dog trainers don't tend to look outside their discipline (05:25)Synthesizing training concepts to make them your own (10:42)Approaching dog training with curiosity (19:58)Why coaches should never ask their students “why” (24:01)From “soft” skills to “power” skills (29:14)Getting through to your dog (36:07)The line between making something your own and plagiarism as a trainer (41:36)What to do if you have no one to train with or learn from (49:32)Takeaways (53:34)Resources:K9 Detection Collaborative Jan 2023 Roundtable Zoom WebinarBullet Proof Skills for Both Ends of the Leash (Stacy's course mentioned in episode)Don't Feed the Elephants!

Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal discuss what changes to expect as your puppy enters adolescence.Lasting between the ages of 18 months and two years, dogs in their “teenage” years will seem to forget everything they've been taught up to that point.Listen in as our hosts share how to instill focus and impulse control in your puppy as early as possible in order to minimize the challenges trainers should expect in the “terror stage” of their growth.They talk about becoming relevant to your dog and creating an environment around yourself that incentivizes them to make good choices, while at the same time avoiding so much manipulation and artificiality that your dog's trained habits fail to translate well into the real world.Finally, our hosts discuss the proper way to socialize your dog, explaining that socialization is less about interacting with other dogs and humans (which causes them to be reactive more often than not) and more about acclimating them to the appropriate environments.“Socialization is about protecting the dog from bad experiences. It's not about giving them lots of experiences that they're going to be afraid of later on in life.”Key Topics:Dealing with teething (05:25)Differences in the maturity time frame between different breeds (07:36)Establishing your “working contract” with a dog early on (12:53)Incentivizing behaviors through deprivation (18:28)Setting up an environment for your dog to make good choices (28:00)Paying your dog for their attention (33:07)Why you should not manipulate your environment just to force your dog to learn (39:37)The right way to socialize your growing puppy (42:39)Final takeaways (58:03)Resources:American Kennel Club: Your Adolescent Puppy and Changes to ExpectJo-Rosie, Archie the Super Pit & Co.

Forrest Micke and Josh Moran who have both been on the show before and are no strangers to many Australian folks who have been to their seminars, bought their DVD's through Leerburg and have done online coaching are now on Australian shores ready for their first joint seminar in Dural NSW. In this episode we talk about what's important in training while having a little fun together which we always tend to do.
Great to chat with our mate Forrest Micke who is not far away from returning to Australian shores for another educational super show. Forrest took a small break from the industry to catch up with other interests so we spoke about that in some detail. Forrest has been well know in the industry as a very successful artistic trainer with his own flair in engagement, particularly in heeling, of which he has released several videos through Leerburg.
A great conversation with fellow dog trainer Forrest Micke

My son, Jeff, is learning to be a decoy. The past two weekends we have had our friends here at our new training center for a fun weekend of work. Mark Keating from Red Star Kennels in Hudson, WI and Forrest Micke from Rintininn near Appleton, WI, have been helping Jeff learn decoy skills. In this video, you will see Jeff work Donna Matey's dog, Jackson, and my 17 month old mal puppy, Bart. Both Mark and Forrest are helping Jeff learn the skills needed to work Jackson, who is a three time National Mondioring 3 champion. Jackson is a very well trained dog. He is also a very tough dog, several years ago Jackson broke a decoy's leg in multiple places. He takes Jeff to the ground twice in this video. January 17, 2011 | 8 Minutes, 10 Seconds

In this newsletter, we will watch our friend Forrest Micke practicing his decoy skills under Michael Ellis' supervision. Forrest will first work Donna Matey's dog, Vodka, in an accessory attack. Then he will work Donna's dog, Jackson, in object guard. Jackson has been the United States Mondioring 3 Champion three times! The object guard is one of the most difficult exercises in all dog sports. The dog works completely on his own, he cannot bite until the decoy is close and he must release without being told to do so. This exercise is extremely challenging for the decoy and the dog.

This short video is of our friend Donna Matey doing whistle backs with her 6 month old puppy, Eager, off bite pillows with Forrest Micke's help. The training steps for this exercise will be covered in a DVD I am producing with Michael Ellis on protection exercises people can do that don't have a decoy or helper.
