    How to Talk Dog (or How to Grow Engagement, Focus and Motivation in Any Dog)!

    We can all feel a bit demotivated about training when it seems like our dogs don’t want to work with us. Whether that’s pulling on lead, running off the minute the lead is unclipped or struggles with other dogs, we see you! But my dog’s breed is independent or aloof; my dog doesn’t like treats. We’ll debunk those myths in this episode and share strategies for increased focus and engagement, as well as introducing you to a super strong Yorkie and Dr. Tom gets more than he bargained for...........

For owners of difficult dogs!

If you have a dog that struggles with life, do yourself a favour and listen to this podcast. It can be so lonely to have a dog with difficult behaviours, but this podcast lets you know that you are not alone, and that there is hope! Also, you’ll get to hear stories of how it could be worse to make you feel better! Seriously though, if you’ve been given heaps of different advice and none of has worked for you, there’s a good chance you’ll find something useful here and it’s very easy to listen to. My only complaint is that the episodes are a bit short.

Practical, accessible and fun.

Have followed Tom’s teachings for a few years and always find them practical and accessible and fun. Love this style of dog training. Having the geeky ‘why’ is my favourite part.

Geeky fun

It’s great to have Tom explaining the WHY in dog behaviour. Not only is it interesting but it’s easy to understand, whether you’re a dog trainer or learning to help you’re own dog. It’s definitely worthwhile subscribing to.
