12. Let's redefine Dog Trainers from Force Free and Balanced

I want us to redefine categories of dog trainers from Force Free and Balanced to Leave the Essence in and Take the Essence Out. Hear our thoughts...

11, Creep - retraining my Xolo board and train

Creep is a fearful dog lacking trust, and life experiences. Retraining him has been a whole lot of fun. I've been videoing his progress and in this episode we discuss questions asked, what the videos miss, and other such things. Join Hayley and I as we iron things out.

10. Dogmanship - complex dogs and herding breeds

This episode is dedicated to Pico, the Border Collie. It's all the things you need to be aware of training a clever and sensitive dog. This podcast applies to all herding breeds, and sensitive dogs, and weirdos, including reactive dogs. Happy Training Folks.

9. Staying uncommitted to our clients, and more dog talk

We discuss the trend of trainers being uncommitted to their clients - the easier and friendlier road that fails the client. We also get into the politics of today, and other topics.

8. Play and Relationships - The Lost Art

It's not about engagement games, food rewards, toys or corrections. Training dogs is about relationships, and what makes us fresh, alive and relevant to our dogs. We discuss Monique's last seminar in Abbotsford and TNT Kennels, hosted by Janice Gunn. It was such a fun weekend, with a consistent thread seen in many of the dogs there.
