Dog Training Revolution: The Podcast

Dog Training Revolution: The Podcast

What if the subtle decisions we make with dogs - the tone of voice, the tug on the leash, the patience or impatience we show - are quietly shaping who we become? This show is about dogs, but it’s also about you: who you are, what you value, and how you live with those around you. The way we treat our dogs exposes our deepest assumptions about the world. It reveals the ideas we carry about power and control, autonomy and liberation. Every time we ask our dogs for obedience, we’re expressing beliefs about relationships, authority, and what it means to care for another being. But what if we questioned those beliefs? This podcast invites you to imagine a different way forward, where training is about connection instead of control, and understanding instead of obedience. The way we interact with our dogs is inseparable from how we relate to our communities, our culture, and the wider systems we inhabit - and shifting one relationship can transform them all. Because dog training is never just about dogs. Dog Training Revolution: The Podcast Hosted by Zak & Bree George with incredible special guests.

• A refusal to acknowledge the One Health catastrophes...

A major shift just hit the dog training world, and it affects every family with a dog.

 

The new Joint Standards of Practice were released, bringing together the leading organizations in our field under one clear message: fear-, pain-, and intimidation-based training has no place in modern, professional work.

 

Noticeably missing from the list is the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.

 

After months of refusing to...

This is the conversation the AVMA doesn’t want you to hear - but veterinarians across the world are refusing to be silenced any longer.

 

It’s time. 

 

Behind the white coats and lame social media posts, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is a political machine - lobbying on Capitol Hill through their Political Action Committee, deciding which lives deserve empathy and funding (and which do not) through their “chari...
