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.
