The Glasgow Dog Collective

Can we just train the problem?

Amie & I discuss why the problem in a behaviour case is never just 'the problem' and how the process is actually much wider. We discuss how we as trainers over simplify things vs how these tasks seem OTT from the owners perspective. Dipping into our time in the training field and more recently during our walk and trains, we discuss the threaded nature of these tasks growing what feels like arms and legs. As always, these are relaxed conversations that reflect our opinions during that episode which are subject to change.

Is book smart enough?

Is it though? Lanette, Amie & I delve into the world of dog trainer to client education, examining pitfalls from paper to practise. Including a few confessions a long the way at our personal height of the Dunning Krueger effect and how we see this across the industry but learn from it. Alongside this we discuss the development of skillsets and how the world of social media is making this more accessible.

Pet dog vs Sport dog training

Season 3, Episode 1 Lhanna, Lanette & Amie discuss the differences we have found since moving into teaching dog sports. Coming from being strictly pet dog trainers dealing with pet dog problems, we discuss the similarities, the things we enjoy and the things we don't necessarily miss in terms of our obedience club. We also discuss barriers that exists in both areas and how some are more easily overcame than others.

Ep12 : Are you ever enough

Lhanna is joined by Lanette to discuss the constant demands placed on professionals within the industry by other professionals and often the most dastardly, ourselves! We discuss education, providers and how we feel that impacts our skillset, ability and professional expression as dog trainers. Socials: @glasgowherders @gooddog.glasgow @glasgowdogobedience
