Most pet parents start dog training with commands like sit, stay, come. But what if training isn’t really about control?
In this eye-opening episode of Pawspectives Petcast, host Yen Teng sits down with canine behavior expert & protection dog trainer Wong Horng Yaw and devoted pet parent + dog sports enthusiast Dominique Choe, who competes in dog dancing with her dog, Captain 🐶✨
Together, they unpack what real training looks like when you lead with trust and bonding.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why puppies need security before they can learn commands
- The difference between overstimulation, friendliness, and aggression
- Why love is the antidote to fear-based aggression
- Dom’s powerful story of misreading Captain - and how it reshaped their bond
- Why dog training is both science and art
Whether you’re raising a puppy, working through behavioral issues, or just wanting a stronger connection with your dog, this episode will shift the way you see training 🐶
