Off Leash And Unfiltered: The Truth In Dog Training

Send us Fan Mail All too often behavioral issues are a result of your dog simply being able to manifest their core state of anxiety, uncertainty, fear, aggression, pushiness, etc.  What is it you should be doing to help your dog overcome these natural tendencies and finally become the best version of themselves? Lifestyle changes and raising your standards for your dog might be just what the docto...

Send us Fan Mail When you get a puppy, you want to do everything right. And you're so excited to be the perfect pet parents, but inevitably some things just don't go as planned.  I know what it feels like to have a goal I am super committed to reaching, but I know that I don't actually know how to get there. This results in just doing the things the internet mentioned I should proba...

Send us Fan Mail This is a great topic because I think we should all be using some management to some degree. After all, your dog is never going to be perfect. But when is management necessary? When is it acceptable? And when could managing our dog actually be dragging out the issues and potentially creating safety issues? Support the show Love the show?

Send us Fan Mail Social media provides me with a plethora of material to talk about. Purely positive training groups come across my feed regularly as do ads for their training programs. Let's do a direct comparison between the advice one of them publicly posted and the advice that I would give for common behaviors like jumping and separation anxiety. Support the show Love the show?

Send us Fan Mail Web search results, social media groups, our friends and family, and even trainers on social media with massive followings all tell us what we should be doing. And we do it.

Send us Fan Mail A rant about the abhorrent behavior of the purely positive "experts". The  folks that don't believe in punishment (or any tool that is capable of delivering a correction) can't possibly train a dog to a reliable level. And these are the same folks, ironically, that will jump at the opportunity to punish anybody who shows you how to do just that—train the dog. S...

Send us Fan Mail Everybody wants to know when they can take their ecollar off. When what they should be focused on is how to use it most effectively, so that eventually they don't rely on it so much, anymore.  Most training programs don't teach you how to be truly effective whether you're using an ecollar or not.

Send us Fan Mail Do you have a reactive dog? Most people do have a dog that exhibits at least a little reactivity. It's also a kind of broad and meaningless term in the sense that any dog that is living is going to "react" to things.

Send us Fan Mail There is a lot of controversy over the ecollar and any tool that can be used "aversively". There is no new information there. But, even people that seem to love using the ecollar are often very outspoken about dog owners doing their own ecollar training or buying online courses on the topic.  Have you noticed this?
