    Leashes!

    Leashes!

    Why do I use leashes in public, if not to direct my dog?

    To allow society to feel comfortable in my presence. It has nothing to do with my dog’s behavior at all.

    Know How Training Works

    Know How Training Works

    If you want to be involved in conversations on social media about ethics, tools, how training works, etc., you really need to know the basics.

    Dogs do more of things they like and that work for them. Dogs do less of things they don’t like or that don’t work for them.

    Leverage is a thing. Some tools work by leverage, and others work by aversive properties...and various other stuff as well.

    Dog World Problems

    Dog World Problems

    What is your focus on the dog world?

    Take my word for it; it’s got problems. Focus there!

    We worry too much about other people’s problems and not our own area of interest.

    Did you watch Crufts? Yeah, there’s a problem. and unfortunately, problems in one sphere of the dog world begin to impact all spheres. That’s when we see regulation. if you don’t like it, start by cleaning up your own puddle.

    Bite Sports and Aggression

    Bite Sports and Aggression

    Do biting sports cause aggression? 
    Can a dog show aggression that has never done biting sports? Is that normal or atypical behavior?

    And what do you do with all of that information?

    That was the topic of this live.
