| How You May Accidentally Be Encouraging Bad Behavior with Reinforcement | 22 Oct 2023 | 00:17:49 | |
Join host Michele Forto as she discusses How You May Accidentally Be Encouraging Bad Behavior with Reinforcement on Dog Works Radio. So, you have been through a dog training course and for the most part everything is going pretty well but you notice every time someone comes to the door your dog barks and you yell at her or worse, when you answer the door your dog jumps on grandma, and she pets her on the head. Maybe, for example, many dogs automatically sit when they approach someone or when a treat is held out to them. But dogs aren’t sitting because “they want to,” rather they are likely sitting because it is a behavior that has been consistently reinforced, and as a result dogs offer it as a default behavior.

| Disposable Heroes? | 03 Sep 2023 | 00:11:23 | |
Join host Michele Forto as she discusses Disposable Heroes on Dog Works Radio. Dogs, to most of us, are heroes without capes. They are there for us in our times of need. They provide a shoulder to cry on when we have a bad day. They help the disabled with all sorts of tasks. They provide therapy in times of crisis. They are there at the door wagging their tails when we come home from work. They protect us from bad guys. They sit at our feet when we watch the game. They share our ice cream, slobber, and all. In my mind they indeed are heroes. And they are not disposable.

| Why Doesn’t Your Dog Come When Called? | 23 Jun 2024 | 00:09:25 | |
Join host Michele Forto as she discusses why dog's don't come when called. It’s always useful to understand why your dog is exhibiting a certain behavior. For many, it’s down to a lack of training, which you’ll soon learn how to rectify. However, for other dogs, it could be due to fear or apprehensiveness. They’re worried about being punished, especially if your tone of voice is even just slightly angry or annoyed. For some dogs, it could simply be that they’re having so much fun and really don’t want playtime to be over. They know that if they come over to you, then chances are that the fun and games will stop. 7 Essential Things Every Dog Owner Should Know: Http://ak.dog/7tips 100 Dog Training Tips: Http://ak.dog/100tips Connect Podcast: https://dogworksradio.com Work with us: Https://firstpaw.media Support the podcast: https://patreon.com/firstpawmedia Dog Training: https://ak.dog/offer Podcaster?
