Podcast: Struggle CarePublished On: Thu Dec 14 2023
Description: As we continue with the topic of responsible dog ownership for those with mental health challenges, I’m joined today by Andrew Gleason of Dog Savvy Training. He’s my personal dog trainer, and I love his approach. Join us to learn more about training and teaching your four-legged “wild child.” Show Highlights: ● How Andrew came into the work he does today ● Why most obedience training is a way to control misbehavior—and falls short ● Why most dog behaviors fall into two categories of suppression or reaction ● How Andrew breaks down a simple issue like leash-walking ● How learning for all mammals comes down to constructional model learning and emotional model learning ● How to support your dog’s learning ● What “force-free training” entails with a more holistic approach ● How Andrew attempts to take a healthy approach to limitations, boundaries, and respect ● How common training techniques don’t communicate learning ● How Andrew uses aversions and optimism to teach a dog about the freedom of choice ● An overview of Andrew’s company, Dog SavvyTraining, and their scope of both in-person and virtual training Resources and Links: Connect with Andrew Gleason and Dog Savvy Training: Website and Facebook Connect with KC: Website, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook Get KC’s book, How to Keep House While Drowning We love the sponsors that make this show possible!
