In this episode, we discuss the importance of motivation in dog training. Motivation is the most important aspect when training any dog and, sadly, the most neglected. In the sports dog world, the importance of creating the right motivation is understood and used well, but it is ignored in many other areas of dog training.

In this episode, we discuss emotions in dogs. We explore the limbic system, the part of the brain responsible for emotions in all mammals. I briefly overview the Blue-Ribbon emotions and how and why this matters when working with dogs. The information in this episode is largely based on Affective Neuroscience by Jaak Panksepp.

I changed my thoughts on spaying and neutering over the years. I used to advocate spaying and neutering dogs before they reached sexual maturity—between six and eight months—for mostly behavioral reasons. Not letting your dog’s hormones go wild does have some behavioral benefits—but at what cost? Newer studies made it clear to me that I was wrong. I changed my mind. We are allowed to do that when presented with better research data.

In this episode, we discuss how the industry of dog training is failing dog owners. Too much ideology gets in the way of helping people live more harmoniously with their dogs. We touch on the current state of affairs, the problems this creates for dog owners, training tool bans, and where all of this can lead. We’ll close with a domestic example of where we are heading and some international examples that went too far.

If your dog swallowed something it shouldn’t have, it’s good to know some first aid measures. The article describes an emergency procedure. Only perform this procedure if instructed to do so by a veterinarian. I never used this method, but I was close once. In my particular case, I ended up performing a Heimlich-Maneuver on my dog instead, and it worked. I am certified in pet first aid by the Red Cross. I recommend it. It comes in handy after your dog swallowed something it shouldn’t have. It’s also great in other emergencies.

In this episode, we discuss if you should train your dog. This may seem like a silly question at first, but it’s actually not. If your dog has behavioral issues, yes, hire a trainer. If you have specific requirements for camping, off-leash hiking, wanting to participate in a dog sport, or joining a therapy dog team, you should hire a trainer. But what if your dog is a nice boy or girl, doesn’t have any issues, and just hangs out with you anyways? Sometimes training is optional and sometimes unnecessary. We’ll discuss it.
