The Adolescent Stage - Dog Cognition Skills Kick In - Learn How to Adapt.
09/28/21 • 12 min
The adolescent stage can be very challenging, even for the most experienced dog owners, irrelevant of the dog's upbringing, breed or training history. In this episode, I refer to dogs that have had a traditional upbringing - that of the same home since puppyhood and exposed to socialization, non-aversive training, and positive experiences. When these dogs suddenly rebel and seemingly forget everything they learn, it is common to assume they are being disobedient, but really what is happening, is their cognitive skills are kicking-in! They are processing, thinking and reacting differently. We need to change and adapt the way we work with them to harness these skills.
Check out season 1 and 3 all new episodes!! More info on Canine CBT and how it relates to you and your dog.

Study on Street Dogs Reading Traffic Lights and How Those Cognitive Skills Transfer to Adoption; The Story of a Drunk Girl and a Mexi Rescue
Street Dogs in Costa Rica learn many skills to survive. In this ep, I talk about my findings on a study on how they read and decipher street lights. I provide info on how to recognize and harness these cognitive skills when adopting dogs from the street.
I follow this with a story on how I got one of my Mexi-Rescues and how it brings to light the question as to why some dogs can survive on the street and some not-so-much.

"When Your Child Asks For A Dog" - An interview with author, Ciaran Walsh. Followed By: "Is Having a Dog and a Baby Too Time Consuming?"
Welcome! In this episode, we chat with author, Ciaran Walsh, on how his newly released book gives parents a "get out of jail free card" when their child asks for a dog. This questions ("Can I have a dog pleeeeeeease?") is asked hundreds of times around the world daily. Are you prepared for the answer?
Although a children's book, the underlying purpose is to provide parents with the tools to determine if their family is ready to bring a dog into their lives and, if so, how to responsibly choose the right dog for them. This book is creative, fun and packed with thought provoking questions.
This chat is followed up with a talk on bringing a child home when you already have a dog. Many people feel pressured to surrender their dog due to "not enough time". Is this necessary and what can you do to prepare?
