K9 Mindfreak – Details, episodes & analysis

In this discussion Ryan and I chat about trying to tackle your dog behavior issues in real time. This is an impossibility because of unexpected variables in everyday life. When is your phone going to ring next? When is the car going to not work right? These are problems that arise which demand our attention. Therefore, we cannot be fully present when the unwanted dog behavior shows up.

In this episode, Howard Young (White Beard K9 Inc) and I discuss human traits to look for and look out for. We chat about possible "Red Flag" traits that could kill a K-9 program.

People are always criticizing others on social media about training videos, methodology, tactics and more. We wanted to share our thoughts on the matter. We hope to see the K9 industry have a more open mind and really help handler, trainers and even pet dog owners put more tools in their tool box.

Master Sergeant Copeland and I chat about several topics like over correcting a dog. Another topic we touch on is Dopamine and what that means in training and deployments. Master Sergeant Copeland shares some stories and solutions to issues with dogs forgetting how to have fun. Most often this is created by the handler who is not consciously aware they actually caused the issue.  A big THANK YOU to our sponsor anchor.fm , You guys Rock!

In this episode we chat about the pleasure hormone dopamine. There has been a lot of studies conducted over the last few years. I believe understanding how the chemicals our bodies and a dog's body produces affect behavior. Enjoy!!!
