The Perfect Puppy Podcast Miriam Pollard

You’ve probably heard that punishing your puppy will ruin your relationship with them. 
And yes it can - but only if used incorrectly. 
When used correctly though punishment is simply a quadrant in operant conditioning. And you don’t have to worry about it ruining your relationship with your puppy.
In today's episode Miriam explains exactly why that is. And she totally geeks on how the dog's brain works. 

If you follow Miriam on Instagram you'll know she's delaying the start of Puppy University for personal reasons.
But to make up for that she's offering a free bonus programme for anybody who signs up to Puppy University in the next 48 hours.
In this bonus episode Miriam explains what the Clarity Not Conflict programme offers.

You have two seconds to tell your puppy if you like or dislike what they're doing.
Sounds tricky right?
But wait there’s more because even if you do tell your puppy in time, if you’ve not actually conditioned the meaning of your words, then you’ve not actually communicated with your puppy at all.
And that means you could have the best and most expensive treats in the world but your puppy may never repeat the behaviour because it thinks you were rewarding something else entirely.

Luckily Miriam is here with this episode of Perfect Puppy Podcast to help you effectively reward your puppy.

Your puppy does not belong to your child. If your child needs your support to look after themselves they can not fully look after a dog.

Your puppy belongs to you and you are raising it alongside your child.
In this episode Miriam breaks down the dos and don’ts of raising a puppy alongside raising your child - starting from bringing a baby into the family all the way through to teenage years!

Finding a trainer who works for you and your puppy is a challenge and a very important challenge too.
When you like and get on with your trainer you will enjoy the puppy training journey a whole lot more.
So it’s important you know what you’re getting if you sign up for Puppy University. In this episode Miriam talks you through the online course.
