The Importance of Changing Your Mindset; How the Dog Industry Today Effects You and Your Dog
Explicit content warning
05/02/20 • 17 min
Welcome to episode 2 of the revamped season 1 (as of Sept, 2021)
In this episode, I share thought provoking information and stories to "retrain your brain", so you can easily absorb the information on UPWARD Dogology in the following episodes.
Mainstream dog training currently consists of methods adhering to Conventional Methodologies. These methods are effective and many dogs can go through their entire life with the guidance provided by Conditioning Methods. But for many dogs these methods can fall short after puppyhood. This is not the fault of the owner or trainer, or, of course, the dog!
This episode talks about how industry experts have effectively (and thankfully) diminished the popularity of negative methods and techniques, yet also recognize the need for a methodology that is non-aversive and effective with dogs over 6 months, and in particular, ones with a checkered or unconventional past. To start this process, it is necessary to open our minds to learning.

Season 1- Part 1 of 4 - Who the hell is Billie Groom?
To avoid that "deer-in-the-headlights-look" as you venture through the mini-series, it is a good idea to hear how Billie's learning journey lead to the creation of UPWARD Dogology. This is not your average learning journey - no certifications, no set game plan, and no rules.
"My learning journey is my own, and I give full credit to the dogs who put their trust in me. My goal was to develop a solution to prevent behavioral surrender, euthanasia and abuse to adolescent and adopted dogs. In a twisted, somewhat backwards, journey, I accomplished that, and so much more."

The Difference in the Platform and Design of Conditioning Methods to that of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and How That Effects Success
Welcome to episode 3 of the revamped Season 1 (as of Sept, 2021).
In this episode I explore the differences in platform, design and intentions of Conditioning Methodologies to those of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In doing so, you will learn how it addresses behaviors and situations that conventional techniques are not intended to address.
This information, provided using examples of different behaviors and situations, allows you to understand why you may feel frustrated or as though you are doing something wrong - you are not! And your dog is not "bad". It is simply a matter of changing, adapting and growing with your dog!
