We spend countless hours training our dogs, but how often do we consider what they have to teach us? Dogs teach us so many important life lessons. They teach us about gratitude, love and compassion, being present, and so much more. When humans bring a dog into their lives, they are most often looking for a companion; what they may not realize is that they are getting a teacher as well. On today’s mini-episode, Dhru speaks with his good friend Tamar Geller about her philosophy of dog training, which is about improving the relationship between you and your dog, so your dog is not obedient to you; your dog is devoted to you. Tamar also explains the makeup of dogs’ brains and the core needs that dogs and humans share, as well as how dogs give us the most insight into how we actually show up in all of our relationships.Tamar Geller is a celebrity dog trainer, a New York Times bestselling author, and as Oprah says “A Life Coach for dogs and their people.” Tamar has revolutionized the way dog training is done. The Loved Dog method that Tamar created over 30 years ago is based on the knowledge she acquired as an Intelligence Officer with the Israeli Elite Special Forces, from the respect she gained for the wisdom of nature while observing wolves in the wild, and her devotion to personal growth.Find Dhru’s full-length conversation with Tamar Geller here: https://broken-brain.lnk.to/TamarGeller/For more on Dhru Purohit, be sure to follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, on Facebook @dhruxpurohit, on Twitter @dhrupurohit, and on YouTube @dhrupurohit.

Enjoy this lively episode with Tamar Geller, dog trainer, behavior expert, and New York Times bestselling author, and our new co-host Sharon Mor, Hoffman teacher. Listen in as Tamar shares about living from Spirit and training dogs in a whole new way. Tamar developed the "The Loved Dog" method of dog training. It's an innovative method based on the intersection of brain science, personal development, and a deep understanding of dogs' behavior. Tamar's work is popular with clients such as Oprah, Lady Gaga, the Kardashians, Tony Robbins, Reese Witherspoon, and many others. How It All Began After serving as an intelligence officer working with the Israeli Special Forces, Tamar spent time observing wolves in the wild. She studied the role of the leader as a parent and protector of his pack. By using similar techniques as the wolves, she created a method to train dogs that doesn't involve aggression, dominance, or choke chains. In her training, Tamar goes beyond positive reinforcement. She emphasizes building a solid relationship with the dog by understanding the dog as an individual. She coaches them through games and fun to become the best version of themselves. Tamar helps PAWrents build a relationship with their dogs based on mutual devotion and love. She founded the first cage-free doggy boarding and daycare center in southern California, called The Loved Dog. Her first book of the same name teaches dog-owners how to train their dogs in a nonaggressive way. Tamar works closely with the animal rights organizations Humane Society of the United States, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and various rescue organizations. She conducts programs for rescue organizations and offers lectures in dog behavior. She has appeared on a variety of television programs and media outlets, including The Today Show, Oprah, Ellen, and Animal Planet.

Welcome to The Woof Life Show - a podcast created for dog lovers, by dog lovers! Hosted by Lauren Farricker. In this episode, Lauren chats with Tamar Geller, who is the founder of The Loved Dog. You might recognize Tamar who is Oprah's dog trainer, a celebrity dog trainer, a New York Times best selling author, the resident pet expert on The Today Show, and she has been on every show talking about her positive approach to dog training. Oprah coined the term that Tamar is: "A Life Coach for Dogs and their People." Tamar's background is unique; she was an intelligence officer in the Israeli Special Forces. After her service as an intelligence officer, she lived in the desert and observed wolves. During that time, she realized that the entire construct of how we approach dog training is invalid. She realized that instead of teaching dogs to obey, you could teach dogs essential life skills. These observations and this epiphany on dog training changed her life. When she found herself in Los Angeles a couple of years later, she was called to help a dog owner whose Cavalier was stealing socks for attention - a case that other dog trainers could have cared less about. That client was Kenny G, since then she has worked with more celebrities than we can count. Some include Ben Affleck, Goldie Hawn, Jon Stewart, Ellen, Julianne Hough, Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and of course Oprah. If you struggle with your dog and training, this is an episode not to miss. Tamar's innovative and commonsense methods change the way that you think about the dog that you have living in your house. I've personally tried some of the methods in problem areas I have with Pixie and cannot articulate what a difference they have made. Pixie was not adequately socialized, and since adopting her, we've lived with a slightly reactive pup. We have used The Loved Dog's methods, and the difference is astounding. Pixie is 13 and proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks! Please rate, share and subscribe to The Woof Life Show!

If you ever watched Oprah, you know she's a dog lover. And one of the reasons Oprah loves her dogs so much? They're well behaved. And she has Tamar Geller to thank for it. Oprah calls Tamar a life coach for dogs and their people. The talk show icon convinced Tamar to write a book about her dog training techniques and it instantly shot up the New York Times bestseller list and was translated into multiple languages. Once she appeared on Oprah, Tamar was everywhere – even becoming the resident dog expert for the Today Show. Tamar has since become a dog trainer to the stars. Her list of celebrity clients reads like a who's who of Hollywood: There's Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Aniston, Ryan Seacrest, Kelly Ripa, Owen Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon. Drive by her Los Angeles home and you might see Kyle MacLachlan picking up his Jack Russell-poodle mix or Pat Sajak dropping off his Australian sheepdog. In addition to her hourly training, pet owners can also send their dogs to her Hollywood home for a doggie vacation. In her free time, she also gives back – with non-profit initiatives that help juvenile prisoners and those with PTSD overcome their challenges through dog training. In today's episode, you'll hear how studying wolves in Israel led Tamar to become a dog behavior expert, how the relationship with our dogs can help us become better humans, and how a desperate housewife introduced Tamar to Oprah. All that, plus find out how Tamar can train your dog over Skype.

Today, I speak with Tamar Geller, dog trainer for the stars. Tamar is truly a dog whisperer; she’s a dog trainer and coach for Oprah, Jon Stewart, Ben Affleck, and more. Her methods have proven results, and don’t involve imposing an artificial hierarchy on dogs or forcing them to be submissive to commands. Her philosophy goes beyond dog training and involves a higher consciousness with your dog and your life. If you’re an animal lover, you’re going to love this episode! Find Out More About Tamar Here: The Loved Dog @tamar.geller on Facebook @TamarGeller on Twitter theloveddog on Instagram In This Episode: [01:41] - Tamar starts by explaining how being a pet owner can be about being mindful, not just about tricks and techniques. [04:05] - Do Tamar’s theories and techniques work with cats too, or are they specific to dogs? [05:50] - Tamar offers a couple of alternatives to the term “owner,” but clarifies that she doesn’t mind the term herself. [06:44] - What are some tips for someone whose dog seems to want to be in charge, or insists on misbehaving? As she answers, Tamar clarifies that dogs don’t care about being in charge. [08:03] - Tamar talks about the needs that dogs have. It’s when these needs aren’t met that dogs can misbehave or act out, she explains. [12:39] - The first thing you need to do with a misbehaving dog is figure out which of these needs aren’t being met. Tamar offers an example of a recent case in which she had to assess a dog’s needs. She then clarifies that each individual dog has two primary needs, and talks about why it’s important to figure these out. [18:44] - Tamar offers an example that Tony Robbins uses, and applies this to dogs. She says that we can’t expect dogs to know how to meet their needs in the right way if we only say “no!” when they do it the wrong way. [22:08] - Tamar lists several of the influences and resources that she uses in her method. She then describes why a dog might refuse to come at the dog park, and what to do about it. [25:20] - We hear about the problems with simple obedience. [27:14] - Stephan draws out the concept that Tamar has been explaining, relating it not only to dogs but also to people and even technology. [28:49] - Tamar addresses a misconception about dogs, which is the expectation that dogs give unconditional love. [34:05] - Stephan points out that a dog is a reflection of you, and if you have a short temper, it will reflect that back on you. Tamar then explains that 99% of the aggression she has seen in dogs isn’t dominance, but rather nervous aggression. [38:48] - In Tamar’s first book, she started by telling a story about her experience in Thailand several decades ago. She retells this story, and applies it to dog training. [42:18] - Tamar describes the Hoffman Process and reveals how powerful it is. [49:14] - Stephan talks about his multiple experiences with Tony Robbins’ Date With Destiny program. [51:24] - “Your quality of life will depend on how comfortable you can be with discomfort,” Tamar says, applying the concept both to dogs and people.

As she answers, she offers advice on how to train your dog in a way that he or she will understand. [58:00] - Stephan brings up the example of teaching a dog not to run out the door as soon as you open it. [60:29] - Tony Robbins has a saying: “Trade your expectation for appreciation, and everything will change.” What would be an example for how listeners could do this in regards to their dogs?
