Renowned Professional Dog Trainer, Behaviorist, Rescue Advocate, and dog sport competitor Robert Cabral doesn’t sugar coat anything. He’s straight up & tells it like it is. We asked Robert to join us to discuss some behavioral issues we’re facing.   Robert is an authority on canine behavior whether it be in basic obedience, aggression, and complex behaviors and has worked with most every breed and temperament of dog during his time working in animal shelters and private practice. He has trained and titled competitive obedience and protection dogs in AKC, Mondioring and IPO / Schutzhund and his online training provides countless animal shelters, trainers, and dog owners with humane solutions to their dog issues.   We called up Robert to help us with our biggest battle at the moment - crying & whining in the crate! (We apologize in advance for the crying.) Hopefully this real world situation is helpful for those facing a similar problem. Spoiler** the crying/whining does get dealt with... it just takes some time so be patient with us.   Robert also answered a slew of other questions from our YOLO PUP followers. Questions we covered:  - Socializing your dog  - Reactivity (dog barks at skateboards, people, joggers)  - How breeders play a role in overall development  - To neuter or not to neuter - Opinions on ear/tail cropping  - Proper correction techniques  - Why it’s so hard to join a French Ring Club  - Which dog sport is right for you  - Dog pulls throng prong collar  - Two handlers training a Mal  - Biting  - Separation anxiety for COVID puppies  And most importantly  - why you should not get a Malinois if you can’t handle the commitment.  To learn more about Robert or to join his member only website, visit robertcabral.com 

Pat Stuart of Operant Canine spent 12 years in Australia’s Army Special Forces before diving into dog training full time. He has been mentored and coached by some of the world’s best dog trainers, most notably Michael and Bart Bellon and has studied everything from hands-off force free training to old school compulsion. He is a certified instructor for the NePoPo® system of dog training. The method “prepares dogs for the rigors of life and creates an active free thinking dog ready to engage with his environment. It also prepares a dog to receive a correction without ever dropping in motivation.” Pat is also an active competitor in PSA, a certified decoy and the PSA Assistant Regional Director for Australia. He also co-hosts a weekly podcast dedicated to dog behavioral training called 'The Canine Paradigm'. We're having a little obedience problem with puppy Ryka the Belgian Malinois, so we called Pat for some much needed advice on what to do!  We cover: - Operant conditioning - NePoPo Training - Why Corrections are Important for Dogs - Aggression - Leash Reactivity  - "My dog snarls & gets aggressive with the prong collar. What should I do?" - "My dog is never not chasing cats. Help!" - Best uses for e-collar  - Box Feeding - Resource Guarding For more info on Patrick Stuart, visit Operant Canine & check out his podcast 'The Canine Paradigm' with Glenn Cook!

When you search for anything dog training related on YouTube, chances are Upstate Canine Academy pops up. ... no simple feat. Tom Davis has poured his heart and soul into building Upstate Canine and a digital empire for dog lovers and training. Tom’s podcast “No Bad Dogs” began with recording real life audio sessions with clients he’s helped and it’s taken off from there. He also has a business & personal staff, sponsorships, merchandise, and makes time to engage with his audience. This success did not happen *by chance*. It takes loads of work to sustain 10 years of creating content, growing a business, and a developing a circle of trust that share his mission. It started back in 2009 when Tom lost his beloved St. Bernard puppy. After some trials and tribulations, Tom started a dog walking company that skyrocketed into so much more. In this live we cover: - Tom’s personal journey - Dealing with Online Hate - Staying Grounded - E-Collars - Balanced vs Positive Only training - Dog Fights - Neutrality & Socialization - “Must Train” behaviors - Dog Training Culture and importance of community A pleasure chatting with Tom and thank you for the positive encouragement to start this podcast 🙌!
