Welcome to Episode 18! This week we are taking the social systems of dogs under the magnifying glass and looking at some way in which we can reduce the risk of aggravation around the home. We highlight how dogs are driven towards specific goals and that each dog has their own different agenda. Also discussed is what to look for in yourself and how to gauge what your capable of managing and resolving. Dogs are social animals with some similarities to their wild kin, however through artificial selection they have a behavioural range very different to those wild cousins. As such, we have to look at our dogs differently and impose tighter management and lifestyle choices externally that our dogs otherwise would not. This ensures that we are able to reduce the risk of dog fights, maximise the harmony within our household and enjoy our dogs better in general. This episode is the genesis for a deeper dive - over the course of multiple episodes - of the social aspects of dogs.

Training Overview Part2 Concluding last weeks deep dive into what makes a solid training plan we finalise the training plan with a couple more phases. There are plenty of ways to train a dog to perform a specific skill, however there are few ways to get a student dog to deliver effort, enthusiasm and execution for life.

Training Overview Part1 We had some questions which where voted on in the Discussion group that I answer here. The questions are: How do I deal with a stubborn dog? How do I choose the right trainer? And, Does Training ever stop? These are some pretty good questions and there is some meat behind them. I provide a pretty descriptive overview of how training occurs, how we go from nothing to something. Starting with learning to build a motivated dog through to the completion of a trained dog...and how to keep them being a trained dog.
