Ken Ramirez: Opening dialogue about aversives in training

Kim Brophey: Welfare of dogs in captivity

Where Matthias sits down with Kim Brophey (unfortunately without Lauren) to talk about why many discussions on methodology seem to miss the mark, how the absence of problematic behaviour does not equal good welfare, and Kim's ambitions to help trainers better assess the welfare of the dogs with whom they work. Also, the fact that Matthias' wife (reluctantly) listened to the podcast for the first time, the dog park that ruined everything, and increasing child welfare by letting them roam. Kim has kindly offered Dog and Pony listeners 30% off of her LEGS 2.0 course, using the code DOGANDPONY : Kim Brophey's LEGS 2.0 [https://kimbropheylegscourses.thinkific.com/pages/pro-landing-page] The Dog's Truth Free Course [https://youtu.be/b9C_XRcbI_Q?si=Id3Q-qodmLOzrJc6]

What makes a great animal trainer?

Where we sit down together to talk about what makes a great trainer, if someone needs to be a good trainer to be a teacher of trainers, and being the best insect you can be. Also, we argue about responsibility for solving clients' problems, what to do when your ADHD writes notes to future self, and we both agree that Matthias isn't a great trainer.

Ken Ramirez: Opening dialogue about aversives in training

Where we sit down with Ken Ramirez to talk about approximating people towards behaviour change, minimizing membership extremism in your organization, and how it's OK - even good - to teach others who train differently than you. Also, Ken as cult leader, the perils of gatekeeping aversive instruction, and the humane hierarchy as guidebook, not rigid roadmap.

Pat Stuart: The punishment word

Where we sit down with Pat Stuart to talk providing clarity via consequences, where Pat and Lauren differ in who they will teach about the use of aversives, and management & avoidance vs training & exposure. Also, what inherently saves Lauren from doing dumb things, the fear of telling people who you're learning from, and the perils of projecting your beliefs of what people will do with aversives onto others.
