Modern science in dog training tends to focus more on comparative psychology - aka, comparing animals behavior in a lab/study environment vs the natural environment. Additionally, dog trainers compare dog training to the training of exotic animals.

In this episode, we cover:

• What comparative psychology and ethology means

  
  



• The experiments conducted and how they work

  
  



• The reality behind the science in dog training

  
  



• The difference between exotics and dogs - namely, in cooperative care

  
  



• Looking at the dog in the natural habitat, not in a laboratory setting.
