Dr Emily Lucas owns and operates The Whole Hound, a unique service in Sydney because she is both a vet and a trainer.  Emily is someone that I feel lucky to consider a colleague in this industry, her wealth of knowledge on dogs, dog training and medicine is astounding. In this episode we talk about behaviour medication. An often controversial topic that we thought we'd make even spicier by asking the question "Why Would We Resort to Medication Before Resorting to Punsihment to Change Behaviour?" I'll leave that teaser there because this is a topic full of nuance and something we all care deeply about. It was a pleasure to have Emily on the show so jump in, have a listen and give us a like and follow while you're at it.

Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers joins me again for another Canine Caregivers episode. In this episode we discuss "Reactivity Week". The joys of pre-recording an episode and it getting released no where near the actual week we probably should have released it... but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is an important topic and what we covered in this episode can support so many people that hear it. Reactivity is one of these things that is all too common in our dogs in this modern world. So we wanted to unpack it. What is it? How to approach it? What causes it and all that fun stuff.

Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers joins me again for another Canine Caregivers episode. In this episode we discuss "The Bridge of Trust". The bridge of trust is a concept that Dominque talks a lot about with her clients. It is what strengthens the bond and communication between both ends of the leash and ultimately is at the core of the relationship. Trust is earned and listening to Dom break this down is a great insight into how important it is as well as some classic do's and don't when it comes to building trust.

Hannah Branigan is someone that I have personally learned a lot from. I have listed to every single episode of her awesome podcast "Drinking From the Toilet" which is a fascinating deep dive into the use of postive reinforcement in a variety of contexts. It's also a really cool show because over time, you really feel like you're getting to know Hannah which in my opinion, everyone is better off for doing so. Hannah is fascinated by behavior and learning, and passionate about bringing innovative, science-based solutions to the dog/human learning space. Hannah has a background in both human sports and biology. Now she applies that knowledge and experience to the world of animal training and canine competitive sports. Hannah not only trains people and professionals she also enjoys competing in a variety of sports, and has titled her dogs in Obedience, Agility, Conformation, IPO (Schutzhund), and Rally. Her competition obedience DVDs, Obedience FUNdamentals and Beyond FUNdamentals, have received rave reviews from trainers all over the world, and her students have earned advanced titles and in multiple countries. While primarily interested in the training process, she finds the high scores, prestigious awards, and national rankings she has earned to be very reinforcing. Hannah is the host of the popular dog training podcast, Drinking from the Toilet, which focuses on the (often inconvenient) intersection between positive reinforcement philosophy and reality.

Jill Hassevort is a Certified Training Partner through Karen Pryor Academy and holds a BA from the University of Michigan. It was during her time at U of M that she spent a summer living with a dog (named Jack) for the first time ever. Her time with him led her to understand how amazing dogs are as a species. Later, Jill adopted a dog, an American Staffordshire Terrier, also named Jack! It was her desire to dispel the myths about his breed and provide him with the best life possible that led her to learn more about dog training and how dogs learn – bringing her to where she is today. Before making the career change to dog training, Jill taught high school Spanish. Her experience in the classroom gives her the teaching skills that she employs when working with clients. Her combination of top-notch education and real-world experience makes her the trainer you and your dog want in your corner. In this episode we discussed one of her area of expertise, Cooperative Care. This is an area that Jill is particularly passionate about and has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers joins me again for another Canine Caregivers episode. In this episode we discuss "Can You Reward Fear?". When people are discussing how to handle unwanted behaviours, too often we hear people and even some misguided professionals give the advice... "Don't do that to them then, you'll reward the behaviour and make them want to feel scared again". Which just DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE!! It is impossible to use any amount of positive reinforcement to make another individual WANT to feel a negative emotional state again! If I've had a bad day at work and my amazing wife gave me a beer when I got home because I was moping around and feeling angry, it would increase the likelihood of me wanting to come home feeling angry and behaving that way again. So, it's impossible to reward fear... but does that mean we need to start being permissive of fearful behaviours? Is that the solution? This topic is layered, so we unpack this all in this episode!

There are some skills that just make life easier and being able to buy ourselves time is something that I think we would all love to be able to do more easily. One thing that I see people consistently struggling with their dogs is that they often feel rushed by their dog. But it really doesn't have to be this way. Now of course if our dogs NEED something, then we should move at their pace. Plus there are times that we're just normal people doing normal things and we're going to give our dogs things simply because they indicated they wanted it.... and that's not a problem in most normal circumstances. But a skill that I recommend people practicing with their dogs, no matter what age but the earlier the better is to practice waiting when asked. It could be for simple life rewards such as getting to 'go' once they've waited by your door as you've brought the shopping in and out. It could be while we put their leash on so that we're not scrambling around teaching them that they can outrun us. The skill of being able to go 'wait' there until it's clear to move again has to be used carefully, not to trap and not to bully, but when practiced well can be one of the best skills we teach them. It can be for their safety or our sanity.

Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers joins me again for another Canine Caregivers episode. In this episode we discuss "The Expactations People Put on Their Dogs". We often find that when our dogs cognition, age, species and not to mention the social norms, barriers and freedoms that are in the way that what should be expected from the dog and what is being asked are drastically out of sync. So much of our job as behaviour consultants can be about setting realistic expectations.  Too many people think that behaviour can just be 'fixed'. There are still cowboy professionals out there making it harder for everyone actually doing great work by offerring 'guarantees' on behaviour and other shady marketting and sales techniques to win clients over. We dive into this hot topic and we'd love to know what you think. We've even set up a new Facebook group, so jump in and say hello: https://www.facebook.com/groups/unhingedandunleashed/ If you want to learn more about Canine Caregivers, a platform in which we provide courses and webinars on how to live a healthy and happy life with your dog, visit caninecaregivers.com.au because we've got a ton of resources available.

Having worked in this industry for many many years now I can confidently say that when it comes to general goals that people have got consistently wrong with their dogs over the years is that they prioritise obedient behaviour over healthy emotional regulation. Obedience is one of those words that I automatically cringe at anyway. The thought of anyone being obedient to me makes me automatically think that this is an unhealthy one side relationship that I would need to reconsider how I communicate with that individual. But the big thing that I think people don't recognise is that so many unwanted behaviours our dogs display comes down to emotional dysregulation. If they get stressed, frustrated, anxious, fearful, angry or any other emotion then their behaviour is a reflection of this. If we aim for healthy emotional regualtion in our day to day lives and training plans with our dogs then not only will we see fewer unwanted behaviours in the first place but we will also have happier dogs and healthier relationships because our understanding and empathy towards our dogs will only increase as we look at things through their lens. This is at the core of my work with dogs and their caregivers, so take a listen to learn more why it's so important in more detail.

Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers joins me again for another Canine Caregivers episode. In this episode we discuss "Do Dogs Need a Job?". This is something that a lot of people and professionals push! They'll blame unwanted behaviours on the dog not having a job, they'll blame hyperarousal on not having a job. But what does giving them a job even mean? Is it the cure to unwanted behaviours? So many of our dogs were bred for working purposes but aren't living these lives any more in this modern world, so what does giving them a job look like to the average pet guardian? Is it even relevant to our dogs? Tune into the episode to learn more.

Vanessa Charbonneaua owns and Sit Pretty Dog Training and a force-free dog trainer, based in Prince George, BC, Canada. Vanessa is eager to use her knowledge and skill set to aid clients in shaping the family pet they’ve always wanted. While on a journey helping her own dog Kaslo with his dog reactivity, Vanessa has developed a passion for working with dogs with reactivity. Her life with Kaslo has provided her with unique insight into the daily difficulties that come with living with a reactive dog. This experience leaves her better able to help clients help their dogs live more successfully in this big, messy world. Vanessa has focused her continuing education on fear, aggression and reactivity so she can help these dogs, who are often misunderstood and mislabeled. I personally can watch and learn from Vanessa's social media content for hours on end. I really enjoy how she breaks information down in a way that's simple to digest while her fun personality comes to the surface.
