Ruben

Kindred Dog PDX trainers, Ruben and Shane discuss various topics. This could be things we read, watch, and listen to and relate them to how to live with our dogs.

In this epsisode I talk about ecollars and answer the question of whether or not it is a tool your dog needs.

Our dogs needs the full picture. Not giving them the full picture is a disservice to them and will likely result in a dog that doesn't know fully what to do.

The idea of taking your dog everywhere sounds nice but the reality is that is highly risky.

Other people and their dogs can be unpredictable. They are always friendly untill they aren't and unfortunatley it always seems to be you and your dog that find that out the hard way.

In this episode I talk about the idea of weening your dog off food. Is that the right way to think about food?

Engagement. This is the missing piece for most people.

In this episode I dive into what drives reactivity and what you can do to alleviate it.

Remember you are training is about what the title suggests. When you are out with your dog you are training. It doesn't matter who you are with or what you are doing your number #1 priority is your dog.

Diving in a little more into my recent post about reactivity.
