There are a few common phrases that float around in the dog training world that get my hackles up. One of those phrases is 'I use whatever training technique my dogs need.' Not all training techniques are equal in how they impact your dog and your relationship with him. You should know all you can about how a training method works before you try it on your dog. Don’t take the word of your neighborhood 'dog expert' without understanding how it works. If they hearsay doesn’t make sense, don’t be afraid to be a heretic and do things your own way!

When a dog’s behavior suddenly changes, a good dog trainer does not turn to training techniques and behavior modification. They turn to their veterinarian. Chances are there is a very real health problem that should be dealt with first. The drastic change in our dog’s behavior was both confusing and frightening until, with the help of our veterinarians, we found the cause. It was not purely a behavioral issue. Without help, we might have made the problem worse. This series of podcasts explores what happened with our Tiramisu, one such dog, and what was done to unravel the mystery of her behavior change.

Jon Patch welcomes intrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, ‘the Indiana Jones of entomology,’ and author of the book, Adventures Among Ants. Mark takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett's spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely human--including hygiene, recycling, and warfare. Adventures Among Ants introduces some of the world's most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception. Questions or Comments?

Is your dog ‘dominant’ or willing to submit? Could you be living with a dog determined to take over and control your household? Dog Trainer Eric Brad looks as his own dog to see if the warning signs described by so many web sites could mean his dog is a tyrant in the making! There are lots of websites out there that will tell you just how badly behaved your dog might be. And most of them will happily tell you how to correct these signs of aggression and dominance to keep your dog from thinking he’s the alpha in your pack. But you may have to agree to a price first. The truth is, dogs are not pack animals. They are domesticated companion animals bred by humans. And those warning signs some web sites caution you about may just be natural behaviors or indicators of something totally different. Questions or Comments?

Eric Brad challenges his listeners to question what they think they know about dogs. As the Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “The high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people believe.” Our best source of information about dogs is the dogs themselves! Perhaps it’s time to ask them and see what they say. With all of the methods and information out there, this is a great time to try something new and learn something about our dogs. Our dogs are wonderfully adaptable if we give them a chance. There’s not harm in trying something we’ve never tried and it may work better than what we have been using! Question everything and be prepared for some surprising answers. Questions or Comments?

When training dogs, it’s sometimes helpful to prompt them for the behaviour we are looking for. Trainer Eric Brad cautions that “prompts” can be as much a distraction as a help. Knowing how to “fade” them out of the picture can be just as important in good training. How we get our dogs to do the things we are trying to teach them matters. There are lots of techniques to try and each will come with their own pros and cons. I think it’s worth taking the time to look at how we go about teaching our dogs and make things as clear and easy for them to understand as possible. Sometimes that means getting unnecessary or distracting actions or sounds out of the way so they can learn! Questions or Comments?
