S03 EP02: STOP TRYING TO CONTROL YOUR DOG
In this episode of the Robotic Dog Podcast, hosted by dog trainer Brittney Howard, the focus is on the concept of control in human and dog relationships. Brittney emphasizes the importance of moving away from a controlling approach in training, relationships, and life itself. She shares insights from a TV show business conference where mentor Stephanie Odea introduced the idea of following the pull instead of the push in life, suggesting that one should go towards what naturally attracts them. Brittany applies this philosophy to dog training, arguing against the forceful correction of dogs and in favor of creating circumstances that encourage dogs to follow willingly. She discusses her preference for using retractable leashes and prong collars for training, aiming to create a positive and desirable attitude in dogs towards their owners. Brittany also touches upon her personal experiences and the overall ease of dog training when approached correctly, urging listeners to engage with the podcast and share their own dog training journeys.

Dog Training Advice: Dealing With Growling and Improving Recall
After a two-year gap, Brittney returns with an episode aimed to help a listener named Haley, who is experiencing problems with her mixed breed dog, Hutch. Hutch has been growling at Haley's little brother and is struggling with recall, responding only when treats are offered. The host suggests understanding and acknowledging that most dogs are opportunistic and understanding this can assist in effective training. Haley is also advised to seek help on YouTube and from professional trainers for corrective measures. Regarding the growling issue, the host suggested understanding the relationship between Hutch and her brother and avoid off-leash encounters until the situation is managed.

S01 EP08: HOW LONG DOES TRAINING TAKE?
Your dog is never trained. Ever. Got that? It's a constant struggle and triumph!! Never quit. Never never never!
In this podcast, Brittney discusses her recent personal life events and then delves into dog training. She emphasizes that training a dog is not a finite process with a specific end goal, but a continuous journey because dogs are living creatures who make their own choices. The key, she asserts, is the amount of time and effort the owner is willing to put in, not how long it takes to train the dog. Brittney also advises listeners to fully utilize their trainers by asking questions and having them critique their at-home training sessions, and reminds them that training doesn't stop with the trainer but should be continued at home.

S01 EP08: CLINGY DOGS
It's your dog a Velcro dog? You can actually be doing more harm than good by allowing your dog to be a stage 5 clinger.
Brittney talks about the importance of setting boundaries and training dogs to respect their owner's personal space. The host emphasizes that treating dogs exactly like humans can lead to behavioral problems. Dogs should be trained to be more independent and not overly reliant or intrusive on their owners. The host also provides practical tips on how to establish these boundaries including giving commands to discourage dogs from following them everywhere, kicking dogs out of the kitchen and stopping them from sleeping on the bed. Brittney stresses the idea of giving dogs rules to help them become better, while stressing the role of owners in implementing these rules.
