Ep 30: Discover Your Dog’s Reactivity Persona (Part 2 of 2) & The Nightmare Jun 26, 2024

It’s here! Part Two of our Dog-Dog Reactivity special double feature! This week, we’re introducing you to the final two characters that could be causing your dog reactivity. We think Character #3 isn’t talked about nearly enough as it can be the root cause of so many different behaviour struggles – reactivity to dogs and people, noise sensitivity, even separation anxiety. Character #4 shows up even before you go out on your walk! Even if your dog isn’t dog-dog reactive, these characters might play a role in YOUR struggle. Can you guess who they are? Tune in to find out (and hear about one of Dr Tom Mitchell's worse nightmares)!

Ep 26: How to Talk Dog (or How to Grow Engagement, Focus and Motivation in Any Dog)! May 29, 2024

We can all feel a bit demotivated about training when it seems like our dogs don’t want to work with us.

We’ll debunk those myths in this episode and share strategies for increased focus and engagement, as well as introducing you to a super strong Yorkie and Dr. Tom gets more than he bargained for.

Dog ownership can be full of comparison, embarrassment and feeling ashamed BUT it doesn’t have to be that way!
In this episode, which is my FAVOURITE episode so far, we dive into why it feels lonely owning a dog with behaviour struggles and what to do about it, how to consistently and confidently move towards the dream you have for you and your dog, and the neuroscience of digging yourself out of a slump!
We share our favourite collection of “it could be worse” stories so far. Three words… hot rancid chocolate.
...............
Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…
Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…
Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…
… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!

Ep 10: Making Behaviour Transformation Happen & A Bag of Treats Jan 30, 2024

Behaviour transformation happens when you have the right know-how and you take action. Sometimes taking action can be the hardest bit because it gets drilled into us that it's going to be "difficult", "take a long time" and you have to be "consistent". In thiz episode, I dive into how it doesn't need to be any of those things. Quite the opposite! And I share how I make training achievable even with the tightest schedule - you really don't need a lot of time with these tips! We also hear some horrifying dog-owning stories including the big question - would you go back for the treat bag?!
