In this week's episode, I'm really thrilled to be talking to the person who has had the greatest impact on my professional life. My teacher, mentor and friend, Jean Donaldson.
It was thanks to Jean and her Academy For Dog Trainers that I embarked on the biggest shift in my adult life. I went from being a professional sound engineer to working with dogs full time.
Jean started The Academy For Dog Trainers.... I tell you what. I'll let Jean explain but if, after hearing Jean speak, you'd like to be considered for a place in The Academy go to https://www.academyfordogtrainers.com/
And her course for dog guardians is here: https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/dog-training-101

Let's dive a little deeper into fear.

Season 1 · Episode 8

Thursday, August 8, 2024 • Duration 25:45

Leave us a message

Fear is a complex problem. It has multiple causes, can be easily "installed" and is notoriously difficult to resolve. It can regress without warning even after extensive work and may never be fully "fixed".
In the past the training environment hasn't always done what is best for fearful dogs. But there is hope both for the dogs who are faced with a world they find difficult to navigate and the people supporting them. So this week we're going to talk more about what causes fear, the misconceptions and myths surrounding it and how to best help our four legged friends to overcome it.

A catch up on Sophie from Romania with Rory Cellan Jones

Season 1 · Episode 7

Thursday, August 1, 2024 • Duration 28:17

Leave us a message

Here it is! Our big catch up with Rory Cellan Jones on how Sophie is doing following my visit to Diane, Rory and Sophie. It's been roughly eighteen months since Sophie arrived in West London to start her new life as part of the Coyle-Cellan Jones household and she has made huge progress in that time.

In this candid chat with Rory we talk about the realities of living with a fearful dog and how social media can sometimes give a misleading sense of things.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Rory for taking time to talk to us with such honesty about the impact things have had on both Sophie and her people as they prepare to go on their first holiday together.

Understanding Resource Guarding

Season 1 · Episode 6

Thursday, July 25, 2024 • Duration 23:25

Leave us a message

Resource guarding is a relatively common problem experienced by dog parents. It's sometimes difficult to identify and when you do hard to fathom why your dog, who is given everything by you, should guard things from you.

Join us in talking about what motivates this challenging behaviour and the techniques used to resolve it. Spoiler: It's not personal!!

Stranger Danger

Season 1 · Episode 5

Thursday, July 18, 2024 • Duration 23:05

Leave us a message

If your dog is afraid of unfamiliar people it can pose a real challenge. You can find yourself walking in the dead of night or early hours of the morning. Your route is designed to avoid anyone and as for having guests to stay for any longer than a few hours, that feels like a fantasy.
This episode of The Sociable Dog Pod is all about how to deal with this truly difficult subject. While we would firmly advocate for getting a qualified professional in to help with anything that involves a behaviour problem like fear or aggression, we hope that this podcast will give you some insight into what is going on. We're on a mission to help people understand their dog's behaviour better.
