How can we teach our dogs to choose working with us over food on the ground or critters to chase?

But here's the archieve of that podcast. They are all worth listening to; Chad and Jay rocked that show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dog-training-conversations/id824504967Please note:I am aware that for some dogs (and maybe mine would have been one of them—I will never know), behavioral euthanasia is the only option. Please know that I am not shaming you if you had that 1-in-a-million dog! My heart breaks for you! I would like to raise awareness that there needs to be a PROPER assessment first, and whatever "camp" you were raised in, you need to tag in someone from outside your own echo chamber before making the decision to give up on a dog. That is the moral I would my story to teach. And if you're a trainer ... know your limits. Break out of your own echo chamber to keep getting better at everything you do.

This episode is a 3/3 on the dog geekery scale.Jay helps me untangle the learning theoretical sense of the quadrants from the colloquial use of the word punishment ... and so much more! One of countless take-aways in a sentence: always ask myself if I'm using "punishment" as a synonym of "diminishment" when talking about learning theory!

Caden and Melanie dig into geeky topics and (Caden's) burning questions in one of my all-time favorite episodes:+ How can dog trainers/dog enthusiasts without a science background judge the quality of a research paper?+ How relevant are studies done on rodents or humans to dog behavior?+ A sidetrack into European animal welfare laws and tool bans around the world.+ ... and a few random science-y questions I've been mulling over in my brain:+ Can a classically conditioned response (such as "drive leaking," for example a police dog vocalizing in anticipation when hearing the siren) be made conscious and then turned into an operant response by means of consequences?+ Are there ever situations where it is a good idea to use "flooding" with a fearful dog? + The difference between flooding and controlled intentional stress inoculation.+ Why it is smart to not only include reward seeking behavior (positive reinforcement) in our dogs' education, but also teach them how to avoid discomfort (negative reinforcement.)Get in touch with Melanie:Website: https://www.caninedecoded.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caninedecoded/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.melanie.uhdeYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.melanieuhdeResources, podcasts and people mentioned in this episode:Police K9 Radio podcast—link to the episode with Dr. Melanie: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/interview-with-dr-melanie/id1439541675?i=1000710803832The colleague I give a shout out to in this episode is Sharon Carroll in Australia: http://avantidogtraining.com.au/Shoutout to Game's amazing breeders (KNPV kennel van het Merlebosch in the Netherlands): https://www.vanhetmerlebosch.eu/Get in touch with Caden:caden [dot] cristopher [at] gmail [dot] comMy membership program:⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/adventuredogs⁠⁠⁠Support my projects:⁠⁠https://adventuredogsanarchy.com/support/⁠⁠Free resources (mostly English):⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@adventure-dogs⁠⁠⁠⁠https://adventuredogsanarchy.com/freestuff/
