Kay Laurence of Learning About Dogs and Sue McGuire, teacher of "The Art of Teaching Dogs," always have questions after an educational adventure. One should never stop learning and asking questions.
This is one of many such episodes planned for the second season of this podcast.
To catch up and listen to past episodes, which we STRONGLY encourage you to do, here is a link to the full list.

Season #2 Premier "FUN" in Training
We're not quite sure why dog training turned into an exercise of "must be fun" or "must be entertaining" in order to be of "value."
In this first episode of season two of the "Learning About Dogs" podcast, Kay Laurence of "Learning About Dogs," and Sue McGuire discuss what is a behavior and what is a trick? Is there a difference?
We have all seen the marketing. Tricks for fun! Agility for fun!
How is the dog to know if what is being taught is for fun? The labels we use for human comfort often come at a cost to the dog.
All teaching should be done carefully and thoughtfully and for the benefit of the dog and the life they live with us.
