  • Episode 297: Suppression, guessing and perception in dog training
    May 1 2024
    We delved into the fascinating world of dog training, focusing on the suppression of behaviours, the concept of dogs "guessing" behaviours, and the powerful dynamics of perception between teacher and student. This discussion sheds light on how understanding and managing these elements can significantly enhance the training process and the relationship between dogs and their trainers. Suppression of unwanted behaviours is a critical aspect of dog training. It involves identifying behaviours that may be problematic or dangerous and using effective training methods to reduce or eliminate them. However, it's important to approach suppression with a strategy that promotes an understanding, rather than just punishment. This method not only fosters a safer environment but also strengthens the bond between the dog and the trainer. Furthermore, the idea that dogs may "guess" behaviours highlights the need for clear and consistent communication during training sessions. Dogs often try to anticipate commands and may end up performing the wrong actions. Trainers must be patient and persistent in guiding their canine students, helping them to learn and respond appropriately without confusion. The power of perception in the relationship between teacher and student cannot be overstated. The way a trainer perceives a dog's behaviour and the dog's perception of the trainer's intentions both play crucial roles in the effectiveness of training. Understanding and adapting to each other's signals and behaviours can lead to more successful outcomes and a more harmonious relationship.

  • Episode 296: Dogs in the house and remote trainers
    Apr 21 2024
    In our newest podcast episode, we explore the integration of working dogs into households and address the misleading advice suggesting that these dogs disrupt home dynamics. Despite these myths, working dogs can enhance home life, especially when combined with the right remote training techniques. These methods, often misunderstood, can actually strengthen your bond with your working dog rather than hinder it.. A significant portion of our discussion also focuses on the controversial use of electric collars or remote trainers. This often brings to mind images of harsh control methods. However, our conversation sheds light on the lack of scientific evidence supporting the notion that these tools are inherently cruel. It's crucial for dog owners to consider both the potential benefits and the proper usage of remote training devices to ensure they are used ethically and effectively. Furthermore, we explore a rather peculiar behaviour—dogs eating their own faeces. While this may seem alarming to many pet owners, we provide insights into why this happens and how it can be managed. Understanding the root causes can help owners address this behaviour more sympathetically. Further details looking for great dog trainers and supporters of the canine paradigm?

  • Episode 295: Reward placement and the importance of play
    Apr 10 2024
    In our latest podcast episode, we dove into the fascinating world of canine behaviour, focusing on the concept of 'play' and its multifaceted role in the lives of our dog. Addressing two insightful listener requests, we explored the intricacies of reward placement and the nuanced differences between direct and indirect rewards, shedding light on how these elements can enhance the play experience and training efficacy for both working dogs and pets. Further, we delved into the vital importance of play, not just as a leisure activity, but as a cornerstone of healthy development and emotional well-being for dogs. The discussion illuminated the stark contrasts between working dogs, who often engage in play as a form of job-related training, and pet dogs, whose playtime is more centred around bonding and recreational activities. Understanding the role of play in a dog's life is crucial for pet owners and trainers alike, offering insights into how play can be used as a tool for learning, bonding, and maintaining physical and mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of their canine companions and make the most of their playtime together.
