Visit us at shapedbydog.com   If you've ever had someone twist your training philosophy into something it's not, you've likely run into a Straw Man argument. In this episode, I'm breaking down ten of the most common ones aimed at positive reinforcement-based dog training, why they're not valid, and what you can do to create genuine conversations with people who hold a different view of dog training than you, all while staying centered and calm.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • What Straw Man arguments are and why they show up in dog training conversations. • Why these arguments misrepresent decades of science and practical application. • Ten common Straw Man claims made about positive reinforcement-based training and my response to each one - Straw Man Argument #1 - "Reinforcement trainers are just cookie pushers" - Straw Man Argument #2 - "Positive training won't work with high-drive dogs" - Straw Man Argument #3 - "Reinforcement takes too long, punishment is faster" - Straw Man Argument #4 - "Dogs need leaders, not more cookies" - Straw Man Argument #5 - "Dogs need punishment to learn what's wrong" - Straw Man Argument #6 - "Training only works if the dog can see the cookie" - Straw Man Argument #7 - "Positive trainers care more about the dog's emotion than outcomes" - Straw Man Argument #8 - "Your dog will never recall reliably without correction" - Straw Man Argument #9 - "A head halter is just another punishment tool" - Straw Man Argument #10 - "Positive trainers avoid punishment because they don't understand it" • How to stay centered, respond constructively, and keep conversations productive.   Resources:   1.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   Many dogs start spinning, barking, or rushing when the leash comes out or you head toward the door, but what if the hidden source of that on leash chaos actually begins earlier than you think? In this episode, I'm sharing how to uncover what is reinforcing your dog's unwanted behaviors and how to build calm, connected exits using simple conditioning strategies and games so every walk begins with confidence and connection rather than chaos and pulling.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why some dogs react long before the walk even starts. • What "follow the money" means and how it reveals the real reason your dog is getting overexcited. • A real-life example of reinforcement patterns we often miss. • How picking up the leash becomes a conditioned emotional trigger for many dogs. • Ways to create a positive C.E.R. around touching the leash. • Why the connected Collar Grab is valuable for creating calm focus. • How adding the cue "connect" helps dogs check-in reliably. • What connected exits look like at low distraction levels. • How toys, bowls, and movement create opportunities to strengthen connection. • Why creating small daily "moments of connection" builds great habits. • How a simple Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) can set every walk up for success.   Resources:   1.
