More from DogLogical: Making Sense of Your Dog's Behavior
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood concepts in behavior... positive reinforcement. It’s a term that gets tossed around, misunderstood, and sometimes weaponized through welfare-washing. But the science? It’s clear. Reinforcement exists, but it may not mean what you think it means - and especially when you see it being used in marketing!
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Conor Brady, an animal nutritionist and the founder of Dogs First Ireland. I have been following Conor for the last few years after watching a presentation he gave on the role of nutrition in behavior. During the presentation, he confirmed what I had already researched and my suspicions about the relation of diet to behavior - so, of course, I wanted to know more! Conor's commitment (and no-nonsense approach) to busting myths about dog nutrition makes the topic far more digestible (pun intended)! Conor is someone that I trust not only to guide my clients through their own diet issues but also the person I trust with my own dog's health. I hope this episode brings more clarity to your search in diet options for your dog.
