Show Notes
Are you confusing "fairness" with emotion when training your dog?This week, alongside celebrating a massive milestone for YCA, we drop some very hard truths. We break down the biggest misconception owners have about "fairness" and discuss a big mistake people make with ecollars. If your dog's behaviour isn't where it needs to be, this is the reality check you need to hear.And of course, it wouldn’t be Caffeine and Canines without some ‘shaft’ talk, we hear from Pablo about his painful journey to Circumcision.

More from Caffeine and Canines
We are officially back after a month-long podcast hiatus!
This week, we get a bit nerdy and dive into the reality of operant conditioning. The textbooks say one thing about how reinforcement and punishment work, but what actually happens when you apply those rules to a dog in a real-world scenario? We break down why the standard behavioural theories might not be as black and white as people think, and explore a controversial question about how we influence our dogs' choices. We also tackle a growing, toxic trend in the modern dog training industry. With trainers increasingly turning on each other online, we discuss what's really driving this behaviour and why absolutely nobody is immune to failure.
We’ve made it to Episode 100!! To mark the occasion, we brought on our most heavily requested guest yet (much to Kirkeys delight) Who tells us some crazy stories from his time on the road. We also take a moment to reflect on how far YCA has come over the last 100 episodes, looking back at some of our favourite client reviews and reacting to a few rogue videos sent in by our comrades. A massive thank you to every single person who has watched, listened, and supported us, we truly wouldn’t be here without you.
There is a rumour going around the dog training industry...Today, we are addressing the accusations head on.We also discuss our favourite moments from our mentorship weekend featuring the Real Slim Shady.

This week we sit down to discuss whether you should tell your dog what to do, or what not to do. We dive into the controversial reality of "positive only" dog training and discuss how trying to fix your dogs behaviour with obedience, rewards and bribes is actually making them less liberated.
