Episode 115 - Michael & Bart Bellon the Radical Change in Dog Training

06/13/23 • 107 min

Canine Conversations - Dog Training Podcast

This discussion is sure to ruffle some feathers as Michael, Bart and I discuss everything that is going on in dog training, but everyone is afraid to talk about. This includes the radical shift in dog training language and methodologies and how that will affect dogs. The bans on training tools that are being attempted here in the USA and the ones that have taken place in many European countries and what that means for the future of dog training. We discuss the use of the ecollar and the stigma that surrounds it as well.

As we see people trying to ban tools and dog sports, we should understand that this will inevitably mean an end to dogs as we know them and owning dogs as pets. A very sad state of events for anyone who loves dogs.

I've known Bart for over 12 years and we've shared some great conversations about dog training and technology over the years. I hope you'll enjoy this chat. It's a no holds barred, gloves off conversation about our passion for dog training. T

Episode 114 - The Future of Dog Sports - K9 and Sports - Florian Knabl & Patricia Pehrsson

Dog Sports such as IGP / Schutzhund / IPO, Ring Sports and others are under attack. Whether you are interested in dog sports or not, this should concern you. These attacks come from people who know little about dogs and dog training.

In this interview I speak to 2X World FMBB IGP Champion Florian Knabl and his wife Patricia Pehrsson about K9 and Sports, an organization that is uniting dog sports enthusiasts to help fight for the future of all dog sports.

Here are some links to K9 and Sports: Website: https://k9-and-sports.com/support-k9-and-sports/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/K9andsports-103569182649800/ instagram: https://instagram.com/k9andsports?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2T= Check my online dog training lessons: https://robertcabral.com Check my online dog trainer program: http://shelterdogtraining.com My logo shirts, hats, t-shirts and more: https://robertcabral.com/shop It is also important to remember that supporting K9 and Sports further helps the future of well bred dogs that go on to be pets, companions, and working dogs in fields such as police and military, search and rescue / SAR, detection dogs and more. #dogsports #ipo #workingdog

Episode 116 - Mia Skogster 2x IGP World Champion - Women in Protection Dog Sports

I have interviewed many champions and world champions in protection dog sports. For this podcast I sat down with Mia Skogster of Finland who is a 2x World IGP Champion in the FMBB. We talked about her passion for dogs, dog training, completion and breeding. What it takes to be a champion and how much love and dedication it takes to train a world champion dog.

IGP is a very tough sport and getting into the mind of a trainer like Mia will shed some insight to anyone who is interested in learning more about dogs, dog training and dog sports. We also talk about the important roles that working dog sports play for the world as a whole and I think this is a very interesting topic.
