When you adopted your dog or cat, did he come with a ghost story? We're always curious about our adopted pets' previous lives. Where did they come from? How did they end up in a shelter or rescue? Who abused this dog to cause him to slink every time he sees a man? Sometimes we know our pets' background stories and sometimes we embellish them.

Kickbacks in Dog Training

When I was a respiratory therapist, I used to see referral programs between doctors’ offices, laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals. However, there are measures in place that regulate such practices. So what does this have to do with dog training? Well, locally, I'm seeing kickbacks between trainers, daycares, and shelters.

Do You Need Your Dog to be a Ferrari?

Let’s talk about wants and needs. We may want a red Ferrari to zoom around backcountry roads with the wind in our hair and not a care in the world.

Are You Too Much for Your Dog Trainer?

We love your enthusiasm and interest in dog training and behavior. We just don’t always have a 1UP left to be your training and behavior search engine on the spot. If you’re at an event and see a dog trainer cornered by a Colin Robinson-type, AKA an energy vampire, throw them a lifeline to help them level up!

In this week’s Dog Trainer Car Talk episode, I describe all the hats dog trainers have had to start wearing since 2020.
