Balanced Dog Training With Suburban K9 – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode we talk about how to adopt an adult dog. We spend some time discussing how to pick the right dog and then spend most of the episode on how to introduce that dog to your home.

Is the "decompression period" real? Should you start training your new dog right away or allow them free rein for a while they acclimate? Matt and Nelson give their opinions on these topics and more.

We discussed the following video during this episode:

This is a serious question and it is something worth thinking about. People are using current versions of AI to answer many types of questions. Are they asking it for dog training advice? If so, is it biased towards a particular type of training?

Also, what does the future hold? We already have AI powered robots running factories, how long until AI powered robots are able to train dogs?

In this episode the guys explain the pros and cons of every major dog training tool. One big focus of the conversation is that you should be considering different tools based upon your dogs personality.

We often hear people talking about positive reinforcement training vs balanced training. The thing is, balanced training includes a lot of positive reinforcement. There are quite a few trainers out there who practice balanced training and tell people they are positive reinforcement trainers. That is true, but it can also be misleading.

What is positive reinforcement training? What is balanced training? What the heck is the difference? Tune in to find out!

The guys spend some time discussing when dog bites, barks and growls are reasonable and when they are unwarranted aggression. They talk through some real life examples and pull up some videos to discuss as well.
