We rescued a new puppy from our local city animal shelter! He is an 8-month-old puppy, and his name is “Chuu,” which means “kiss” in Japanese. During the past week of us welcoming him into our family gave us so many things to share with you. So, this episode is all about that! In this episode, we will walk you through our 7-day journey of welcoming Chuu into our family. We begin the story with how we immediately fell in love with Chuu when we first met him, and how we welcomed Chuu into our family. We discuss how we live our lives with Chuu to help teach him how to be calm in the house and with our beloved dog, Peepers. Furthermore, we talk about how we helped Peepers and Chuu to build a mutually enjoyable relationship. In the previous episodes 5 and 6, we talk about Constructional Affection. The content of this episode is an example of how we can apply Interaction Guidelines and Affection Loop to build desirable behaviors and interaction in various situations in our house routine. After 2 or 3 days of our day-to-day interaction with Chuu, he learned to be calmer in the house and the relationship between Peepers and Chuu has blossomed into a wonderful big brother/little brother relationship.Click the link below to enjoy listening the Animal Training Academy podcast that Ryan Cartlidge interviewed Sean:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-124-constructional-affection-with-sean-will/id1071740850?i=1000485537322Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/CAAWT)

If you're not, you probably haven't. Whether you're in one of those categories or the other, I am really excited to get to share this conversation with you with this pretty remarkable man. Now, I normally like to ask people how they first got into the field of animal training or dog training in particular, but I didn't go into that with my guests today only because there were so many things I wanted to talk to him about, and you can also get his backstory on a couple other great podcasts, including the Animal Training Academy Podcast with Ryan Cartlidge and Hannah Brannigans podcast, Drinking from the Toilet. The short version is he grew up on a ranch, began volunteering, working with a guide dog organization when he was still a teenager, and then kind of lucked into a job working with exotic animals, which then helped mold his choices of what to study in college. He then spent more than two decades working at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, where he eventually was the Executive Vice President of Animal Care. And well, I'm just gonna let him introduce himself and talk about what he's doing now. Ken Ramirez: My name is Ken Ramirez and I am the executive vice president and chief trading officer for Karen Pryor Clicker Training. And I have been training, gosh, for over 40 years now. Worked in the zoological field. I work as a consultant for zoos and aquariums. I work as a consultant for search and rescue dogs and law enforcement and guide dogs.

Sarah is Drinking: Old Rasputin, North Coast BrewingRUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT Produced in the tradition of 18th Century English brewers who supplied the court of Russia’s Catherine the Great, Old Rasputin seems to develop a cult following wherever it goes. It’s a rich, intense brew with big complex flavors and a warming finish. The Old Rasputin brand image is a drawing of Rasputin with a phrase in Russian encircling it — A sincere friend is not born instantly. Rebecca is Drinking: Boonies, Renaissance Brewing New Zealand No Notes Someone in My Head, Fat Orange Cat Brew Co.
