Everything Dog Training!

Welcome to Everything Dog Training! Dog training can be confusing. There is so much information on the internet, the opinions of friends, family and colleagues and the guy down the pub who has had dogs for years. Some of it works, some of it doesn't. Some ifs great for you, for your dog, other training techniques hurt the relationship between you and your dog. Cut through the clutter, the folklore and myth and find out what is best for you and your dog.

    Episode 43 - with Leeron Liftik

    My guest this week is Leeron Liftik, a trainer and behaviour consultant in California. Leeron has extensive experience with shelter dogs and we had a really cool conversation. "Dogs are dogs; let them be that. The area I am called on most frequently to support is helping medium and high-drive personality working breeds to integrate into companion-level homes. My approach is creating change at an emotional level to impact behaviours informed by the resilience conditioning framework. By focusing on holistically meeting the animal's needs from an integrative platform, any maladaptive coping mechanisms inherently become obsolete. I maintain specialty in treating fear-based behaviours, aggression, separation related behaviours and gestational development for puppies. I work with dogs from all sorts of background but far and away have the most experience with shelter and rescue animals and they represent my preferred population."You can reach him via his Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/ProfessionalDogNerd

    Episode 39 - with guest Alice Davies

    This week's guest is Alice Davies.Alice runs A.D. Dog Training, a force free dog walking and training service. Having worked with numerous dogs in a variety of settings her true passion (or some say obsession!) for dog training was ignited and grew alongside her first dog a an adult, Maisie. Maisie has been Alice's companion for over 14yrs and has helped teach her a tremendous amount but most importantly how to slow down and be more mindful. In recent years Alice and her family have also welcomed a Romanian rescue, Evie, into the home who continues to challenge and improve her skills on a daily basis!Taking up dog walking as a part time job during studies Alice soon came to the realisation that a full time career working with dogs was not only possible but would also be a dream come true! Walking dogs and spending so much time with them allowed invaluable insight into their behaviour and body language. Reading and researching as much as possible and carrying out many courses during this time Alice endeavoured to learn as much as she could about ethical, force-free training to ensure she was up to date with current knowledge and scientific research. Currently a student with PACT (Professional Association of Canine Trainers) Alice is always eager to learn more and expand on her expertise.Alice aims to help dogs, and their humans, live happy, harmonious lives. She believes dogs should be allowed to be dogs, but within safe boundaries, ensuring they can live and thrive in our human-filled world.Website: https://addogtraining.co.uk/Facebook & Instagram https://www.facebook.com/addogtraininghttps://www.instagram.com/addogtraining/profilecard/?igsh=Ynkxd2J6OHN2dWhs
