In this week’s subscription episode, we break down the signs a dog owner should watch for to know when using the internet, apps, or books for training may no longer suffice. We explain the differences between training a dog for obedience or tricks versus training for behavior or aggression issues and the importance of finding an appropriate trainer that knows your dog and works through programs that fit their personality and needs.

I put my hand in the way. They meant to grab the toy. Their mouth just ran into me while they were in the moment. This week Tara and Laura expose the truth about these statements when it comes to a dog putting their mouth on someone. They explain how owners making excuses for a dog using their mouth in these ways can be detrimental and can cause more behavior problems. They also discuss how owners can inadvertently teach their dogs to use their mouth, but then confuse them when they are upset when they do just that when in play, reacting to something, or engaging with people.

What is the downside to force training? This week we discuss the negative side effects to using force training when working with a dog. We explain how using force tools, such as prong or shock collars, even for just obedience work can break down a person’s bond with their dog and cause more problems in the future. Wouldn’t you rather your dog want to work for you because they are motivated by you and not because they are worried about being corrected?

In this week’s episode, we welcomed Jordan Genung to talk about the training journey with his dog, Max, who missed out on some of his socialization due to being a parvo puppy and trying to keep him healthy.

Love may be in the air, but is it really love you between you and your dog or something else? This Valentine’s episode we explained how sometimes us trying to show affection to our dogs can actually be pressuring them. We also discussed how dogs show affection to each other and that this behavior should be the same even with their human pack members. It’s important to know if you or your dog are actually being inappropriate instead of showing affection.
