  034 – Teaching with Pressure

  Aug 6, 202654 minS1

  In this episode of Beastly Talks, we are invigorated from Ben's Reaktivity workshop, and we are digging into a complex topic: Teaching a dog new behaviours using negative reinforcement and pressure. "Oh my dog! But shouldn't all behaviours be taught with positive reinforcement only??" Well, when that works, that is absolutely the approach we take. But what happens when positive reinforcement fails, which it often does? That's where pressure comes in to lift your game. I have said it before and I say it again in this episode: if you really want to become beyond good at dog training, understanding the use of pressure is absolutely crucial. Sorry for the snotty nose in this one, I hope you enjoy it regardless.

  033 – Rex the Assistance Pupper

  Jul 9, 20261h 9mS1

  In this episode of Beastly Talks, we are still in recovery mode from a long and exhausting trip to Europe. But there is no rest for the wicked! Only a few days after landing we picked up Rex, a 7-month-old Border Collie who is in training to become an assistance dog. I wanted to give a little breakdown of how board & trains work and how they can be helpful, what an assistance dog is and what tasks they're required to perform and so on. Keep in mind that I am not an expert on assistance dog training, so this is just a brief overview. I also get stuck into how I train the different tasks and how I assess dogs in a B&T to work out where to focus most of my efforts for best results. I apologise for a being a little all over the place in this one, it has been a hectic time! But I hope you enjoy it regardless.

  032 – The Hard Truth about Shelter Dogs – Sky van S.

  Jun 25, 20262h 25mS1

  This week's episode of Beastly Talks, did get a little bleak, as we tackle the topic of dogs in shelters. Sky is a qualified dog trainer, working in a not for profit shelter in California. Despite her very young age, Sky is very knowledgable and open about the reality of life for many dogs in a shelter environment. The high levels of ongoing stress can lead to anything from increased aggression, anxiety all the way up to self mutilation in some cases. We discuss everything from LIMA, to play groups, behaviour modification in a complicated setting, tool use and even behavioural euthanasia. It's a tough conversation, but it is also an important one, so we can try to find ways to improve welfare for dogs, who find themselves in a tough spot. We hope you enjoy this conversation, despite it's not so bright topic.

  031 – Play, Sleep and the iPad Dog – Ross Macnamara Mac Dog Training

  Jun 18, 20262h 9mS1

  In this episode of Beastly Talks, prepare yourself for some big laughs and great knowledge bombs, as we sit down with Ross Macnamara from Mac Dog Training in Scotland! Like myself, Ross focuses a lot on rehabilitating reactivity, with a particular focus on play based training. But he also works a lot on building confidence in puppies, the importance of structure and sleep, and preventing what he calls "the iPad Dog." (Likimats not welcome here!) Our chat went from having a laugh on social media, to tool bans, back to dogs and play, and pretty much everywhere in between, and we hope you have as much fun as we did!

  030 – Science and the Problem with Celebrating Weakness – Jacqui Zakar Dogsense

  Jun 11, 20262h 6mS1

  In this week's episode of Beastly Talks, we had a very interesting chat with Jacqui Zakar from Dogsense in Perth. With a background in studying psychology, Jacqui has a very no nonsense approach to dog training and behaviour modification, and she keeps up to date with the most recent scientific literature. Where Stian talks a lot of "bro science" (meaning things I observe, but don't know the scientific reasoning for why it's happening) Jacqui provides some great insights and clear understanding into the dog training space. Join us as we jump a little all over the shop, talking about everything from puppy raising, to behaviour modification, reactivity and fighting morons on social media. We really hope you enjoy this conversation!
