REPLAY: Holding Dogs Accountable
Sarah addresses the viral meme with the quote, “Holding dogs accountable is uncomfortable. But having dogs fail because you won’t teach, confront, or correct is unacceptable.”--Dave Kroyer.

It's All Shaping
When you picture “shaping” what do you see? Could you have a narrow view of what this concept entails? Could shaping be in fact everywhere? Engagement, wildlife chasing, off leash reliability, resource guarding, and then some, all require shaping.

In response to the “trainer wars” between the balanced and force-free communities Sarah and past podcast guest (and friend) Lisa Mullinax sit down to talk about the place where ethics meet efficacy.
