• One of the most common questions that we as professional dog trainers get is, how should pet owners have "those" potentially uncomfortable conversations when it comes to strangers (dogs AND people) looking to interact with our dogs in public?
• Many pet owners may feel "awkward" or "mean" for having to advocate for their dog's right to feel safe when they are out and about in the world
• It is a total MYTH that stranger dogs should always be allowed to interact with one another, or that your dog should have to accept attention from any person they do not know
• Panos & Luke break down the myriad of themes inside this pandora's box and give some practical tips on how to be the LEADER that your dog believes you to be!

• Saharai “Sada” Salazar has been working professionally with canines for over 18 years.

• Saharai’s education in domestic animal and wildlife biology with an emphasis on canine studies included behavior, anatomy and physiology, genetics, evolution, and diseases at the University of California, Davis. 

   

• Saharai’s passion in working with Fear, Anxiety and Stress (FAS) in dogs, especially fear-based aggression, was cultivated in the Isolation Ward of a county animal shelter.
• For several years, she successfully rehabilitated and placed numerous red-listed dogs slated for euthanasia. Behavior modification presented its own special challenges in a shelter environment, which equipped Saharai with a unique set of skills and the knowledge needed to straddle the rescue and behavior worlds.

• Sometimes we take on so much in our day-to-day life, and to make things worse, we suffer more in our head than we actually need to.
• In this week's episode, Panos comes back from a week out of Sydney to reflect on a few things: how stress affects learning, teaching, and relationships.
• To accept your current situation, whatever it be, your dog's behaviour, pressures of work, feeling overwhelmed with life's demands, etc.
• Once you see it for what it is, make plans moving forward, and over time, learn to read these patterns and be proactive.
• You are only best for others when you, yourself is at your best, this applies to your relationship and training with your dog and, of course many other factors to other areas of your life.

• Panos answers Aaron's question sent in via our Instagram:
• "Luna has all of a sudden heard something in our building garage and elevator that sends her barking. She was well socialised to the carpark and elevator as she has been doing the same walk to and from the car since day one. If you on the podcast could discuss fixing a problem like this where a dog is guaranteed to bark in a certain situation and the steps you would take to rectify. Like how you would make use of treats and what to do when she starts barking (e.g make her sit). The bigger issue being we cannot avoid it as we need to go that way to get to car." -Aaron

• In terms of the advice we give out, we trainers can be just as guilty of making silly mistakes ourselves!

• A kind stranger found and returned her safely!
• In this episode we go over a list of tips of what to do if your dog ever goes missing
• We also reflect on hard lessons learned from this situation!
• This rookie error was an experience that prompted deep thought and needs to be shared so that you don't make the same mistakes.
• Keep your dog's collar and ID tag on at all times!
• Have an attitude of gratitude & go hug your dog.

• Panos and Luke discuss the differences between working a dog from distance to a trigger, compared to flooding the dog with that stimulus.
• Acknowledging that distance work is the preferred method for counter-conditioning to achieve desensitisation however living in the city may make this approach difficult.
• Flooding can work really well for certain dogs, and preparing for the inevitable so owners know how to get out of a pickle may be a good idea.
