Remember those dogs in the animated film Up! ? Weren't they brilliantly observed? I loved the way they would all suddenly stop for squirrels. That was Dr Ian Dunbar's idea. If you get the Pixar DVD with the extra disk included you'll see him on stage teaching the animators all about dog behaviour and facial expressions. He's done so much already, but he's eager to do more. I hope you will discover in this video why I say that Ian is our doggie David Attenborough. I would just love us to have him on the TV all the time curating the way we see the dog world. In this interview we discover how the young farm boy became a vet, moved to London in the 1960s and then off to California in the 70s to do a Phd in animal behaviour. He reveals he also lectured in human sex… which I hadn't heard before, but it was apparently very popular! Ian loved teaching and soon some of the human psychologists where attending his puppy classes to watch how the people learned! He says he used all he learned on the farm to go backwards in dog training, to start early and make everything rewarding. His grandfather won a ploughing competition with a horse that worked remotely without reigns. He trained the horse to plough in a straight line without any compulsion. And as a child Ian was regularly recalling 50 cows. Ian wants everyone to stop obsessing with theory and get back to actually training dogs. His son Jamie is gradually digitising Ian's brain and you can now find much of it in the Dunbar Academy archives. In this in depth interview we talk about the revolutionary Open Paw. The brilliant scheme that changes rescues into universities for dogs. And we talk about dog breeders training their puppies before they sell them, dramatically reducing the number of dogs in rescue and increasing the price they can charge. Here's a link to access Ian's brain - and the amazing Dunbar Academy. A huge resource where you can find the solution to every problem as well as some classic seminars. It would literally take you decades to binge watch everything! https://bit.ly/TheDunbarAcademy

Animal Shelters need a major overhaul and Kelly Gorman Dunbar's Open Paw program offers shelters the opportunity to become a vital part of their communities.

Open Paw is an international community-based humane education program that has changed the face of shelters who use it by employing the best available animal behavior protocols and at the same time being fun and easy to follow for employees and volunteers.

The world of animal sheltering is constantly changing and hopefully improving.  We can and should expect more from our local shelters while striving to understand the challenges and limitations they face.  I'll be talking to Stephanie Collingsworth, CPDT-KA about the progressive programs and protocol at Multnomah County Animal Shelter in Troutdale, OR.  MCAS is known for innovation and dedication to improving the shelter environment.  We'll chat about Open Paw, enrichment, the play group program and the challenges of the no-kill movement.  If you have questions about MCAS, please contact Stephanie directly.

Many dogs end up in shelters because of relatively minor behavior problems.  Unfortunately, most dogs then become less adoptable the longer they spend in a shelter, because whatever housetraining or socialization they do have begins to deteriorate.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.  In this
