In this episode of the Doggy Stoic podcast, we sit down with Kimberli Weeks from Daredevil Dog Training. As a co-host of the Naturally Aggressive podcast and a veteran of the working and sport dog community, Kimberli brings a unique, balanced perspective to raising the ultimate pet dog.
In this episode, we discuss: The "Zero Expectation" Chihuahua: Meet Ferret, the Chihuahua who rules a household of German Shepherds.
The Problem with "Over-Involvement": Why many owners are actually blocking their puppy's emotional growth by doing too much.
Building a Communication System: The importance of installing marker systems and utilizing "gamified" negative reinforcement early on.
Balanced Boundaries: Why Kimberli isn't afraid to introduce light punishment for biting—and how she does it without squashing a dog's drive.
Whether you’re training a high-drive working dog or a family companion, Kimberli's "not messing it up" philosophy offers essential insights into building a confident, well-adjusted dog.
