SE02EP05: Washing dogs - legit or lazy?

SE02EP07: Pain, Fear and Microbes with Melanie @caninedecoded

With Melanie from @caninedecoded on the Podcast we talk about how the science around dog training and behavior is in a shift right now and how that nuances what has been claimed being the "scientific truth" about dog training methods. Is all punishment triggering a fear response? Can a dog who always have to seek for a reward be free?  Melanie has studied microbes before and she almost ate cat litter from her desk during this conversation - which could be factors to disqualify her voice in this matter if you would disregard exactly everything else on her resume.  Hosts: Alba @saneisboring Emma @RavenK9dogtraining

SE02EP06: Should there be a cancel list for dog trainers?

Should there be a place to talk about and warn about dog trainers, walkers or facilities where abuse, covering up accidents or ducking out of responsibility when it comes to care for the dogs? Dogs get starved, die or disappear in the care of professionals and many seem to get away with it with some silence and strong marketing. We talk about the complexity of it, why it can turn into a shit show where people just throwing shade on trainers they have personal issues with or someone the force free world think are abusive and how that needs to be weighed against the need for information like this to be spoken out loud, for the dogs sake.  Hosts: Emma @ravenk9dogtraining Alba @saneisboring

SE02EP05: Washing dogs - legit or lazy?

Both of us have rehomed dogs - what we call "wash them" - and still we're bashing people who wash too many dogs? Is this a complete hypocrity exposed, or do we have any valid points? We believe that not all dogs are for everyone - but that a wider perspective on what a good dog is, and a more forgiving view on maturing would benefit all of ours development.    HOSTS Emma @ravenk9dogtraining Alba @saneisboring

SE02EP04: Are all dogs who bite dangerous?

Albas dog bit a child! Does that mean that she's dangerous? How does a social and stable dog end up biting and how does one explain that, and even more important - take responsibility for it not happening again.  We talk about how drives are instincts and doesn't necessarily know the difference between bikes or prey - and how the future of the working dog, with all their drives, can be threatened if we don't respect them and their genetic potential.
