We talk everything dog. We drift from topic to topic with many important nuggets to get you thinking. We tackle raising puppies, building dogs up, corrections, flaws of working dog people, dog training groupies, reactive dogs etc.
Monique Anstee and Jessica Bernatchez, dog trainers from Vancouver Island, discuss the importance of freedom, joy, and empathy in retraining a reactive dog, emphasizing practical strategies for managing reactivity and fostering a happy, balanced life for dogs and their owners.
Ever feel like your energy is just... off? 🤔
Monique Anstee from The Naughty Dogge in Victoria, BC, chats with Melody Shaw from Kuri K9 Trail and Train in Nanaimo, BC. They dive into the insights from their recent Bootcamp and Shadow Week experience, and here are some Key Takeaways 1. **Atmosphere Matters**: A positive, engaging environment fosters learning. 2. **Direct Communication**: Open dialogue enhances understanding and reduces defensiveness. 3. **Transformation is Possible**: Both reactive dogs and owners can experience significant growth in a supportive setting. 4. **Fun is Essential**: Rediscovering the joy in training leads to better relationships with our dogss. 5. **Innovative Techniques**: Embracing new methods can reinvigorate training practices. I hope you enjoy the listen, and please share this podcast with your dog clubs and friends.
I want us to redefine categories of dog trainers from Force Free and Balanced to Leave the Essence in and Take the Essence Out. Hear our thoughts...
