Episode 77: Undoing Traumatic Tangles

01/14/22 • 31 min

Creating new habits, and untangling old habits are two entirely different things.

When an animal has already learned that something is scary or become anxious around, it's not just about creating a new ritual or routine to get over it.

It takes time creating and maintain a new neural pathway for them to truly overcome their worries.

This week, we speak into exactly that with Helen Mottram from Social Paws dog training

Episode 78: Why Before You Try

What makes you want to change the behaviour of another?

When wanting to resolve something in any species, but as this podcast is about barking dogs, let's go with that, why do you want to change or resolve it?

When we're working with dogs, it's important to work within their capabilities, but we must remember to check in with them too when we're wanting to work on training with them.

Recently, I've had to accept that the dogs I have now, just aren't suitable for the work I want to do with them. We dabble in and they mostly enjoy the parts to the sports work we do together, but they're not mad keen for it.

In today's podcast, our guest speaker talks into the 'why before you try' method behind her work, and why it's important to provide the dog with choice over the activities you perform.
