Episode 84: I explain a training video after all

I go ahead and explain a video that I referenced in an earlier podcast, where some commenters demonstrated a complete lack of observation, analysis and discernment.  The training techniques were different than 'theirs'.  They did not pay attention to the back story, blaming the trainer for creating a problem that she had nothing to do with creating, and they closed their eyes to the speedy success and wonderful end results, which were that this horse - on the verge of euthanasia, recreated her life and has a very successful home for the last fifteen years.  I wanted to talk about all that.  Thanks for joining me.

Episode 80: Global training plans

If you build it, they will come to learn.  Many professionals that work with companion animals are hired to solve problems by owners who are overcome with behavior challenges and just want relief.  Here is where taking a page from professional exotic animal trainers can change your business.  With exotics, we must oversee the lifelong education of animals to support their best lives, and their most effective ambassadorship.  Making longterm plans, we then commence to work our plans, systematically.  Spoiler alert:  it is so good for the animals and it is a blast for us.  If you are prepared with full-life training plans for your client animals, and just ease the animals along during their problem behavior training sessions, many owners will LOVE training, and want to continue..  Please listen in to hear more.

Episode 79: Mental Mapping

If you train by rote rehearsal, this video gives another option, and why you might want to take this option.  Welcome to a world of engaged and thinking animals - great partners in training.
