Apparently, folks are very capable of critical thinking skills! When they’re motivated.
How can we be motivated to show critical thinking all the time? Even when we’re not not sure we like the conclusions. Especially when we’re not sure we like the conclusions!Follow my training!

So many thoughts. How can we learn to be more critical learners, observers, and communicators? How can we face our own bias and become stronger as a result? Who can we talk to when we have questions?
Covered a lot of territory in this one.Follow my training!

Maybe allow people who are different into your world, and then you can learn about them.
Learn about people, and you can have an impact.
Don’t allow people into your world and don’t learn about them? Then you can’t do much beyond ignoring (best case scenario) or antagonizing (worst case) others who feel differently than you.Follow my training!

Do aversives cause aggression? If so, why are famous trainers using them and showing well-balanced dogs? What does the research say?
I’m not a scientist, so mostly I can tell you what I see around me, and my thoughts on the matter.

Should dogs roam the neighborhood? How about near busy roads? How about a quiet rural area? How about chickens - can they roam? Why or why not? If someone else has a different opinion about this than you for each type of animal, how might you change their perspective via education and perspective taking? Or do you opt for embarrassment and shaming?
How’s that working?Follow my training!

I hope those of us in the Dog industry stop talking about “them”. “They” can speak for themselves. If you have a question, ask “them.”
When you make assumptions about why people do what they do, or say nasty things about their character because they don’t share your opinions?
That reflects on you and it makes it very difficult to have honest conversations when you’re present because you ruin goodwill, listening and striving for understanding.Follow my training!

The solution to the Dog Trainer people is to be like the chicken people.
In this live I talk about roosters. If the dog people were like the chicken people, we could make radical advances in our field.
Take a listen. Tell me what you think.Follow my training!

Train the dog in front of you. What does that mean?
Seeing as I wrote a book with this title, I have opinions about it!
Two dogs can have the same issue, and the solutions can be radically different. At the end of the day, you have to know your dog… I give examples in this live to help you understand the concept.Follow my training!

If you like the minutiae of dog training, you might like this live.
Here I talk about the challenge I have with my dog in the Mondio ring search exercise… He prefers to bite than to bark! I talk about a “good training” solution which involves breaking it down into small pieces…small splits are good dog training.
I talk about the fact that it didn’t work. I talk about brainstorming to come up with an answer.
And what all of this makes me think about? One challenge of training dog sports with positive reinforcement is lack of tradition around solutions to problems. Of course this is not a problem in Dog sports that are traditionally positive reinforcement based, but it absolutely is in sports with little to no tradition of +r problem-solving, because these sport have rather few +r folks playing the game.Follow my training!

Does positive reinforcement training mean withholding half of the information the dog needs to to be successful? Would the dog find more clarity if you included aversives? Would that actually be a relief to the dog?
I give my thoughts on that here.Follow my training!

Life is complex. Dogs are one piece of the puzzle of complexity.
Be open to the challenge of varied perspectives. Be respectful! And try to make things better.
Dog trainers can do that. You’re more than a dog trainer. You can change lives, and I’m not just making that up.Follow my training!

Your words are your power. Do not take someone else’s words to placate them.
Choose your words carefully. Explain what you need to explain. And reserve the right to say…
It depends. I need more information.
Getting a group of people together is easy when you simplify complex topics. Who doesn’t appreciate simplicity?
Well. Me. As long as life remains complex, I will explain in as many words as I need to say what I want to say.
Don’t give your power away. Choose your words thoughtfully, and insist that others respect what you said as opposed to what they think they heard. or maybe what they wanted to hear. what words did you say? Pain, uncomfortable? Aversive? Management? A training tool? Be specific, and insist that others respect your words, or end the conversation.Follow my training!
