This week on my podcast I had a conversation with the highly controversial trainer The Dog Daddy.
While many of you might find this surprising or even potentially upsetting, my goal with my podcast is to allow all of you to learn about training methods and perspectives from trainers across the spectrum of dog training.
Although Dog Daddy has created quite a rift in the dog training space, I was interested to have him explain his perspective on training so I could understand for myself, instead of relying on the words and beliefs of biased, social media influencers that are fixated on a particular ideology.
My goal was not to disprove, disapprove, approve or propagate Dog Daddy’s methods or beliefs in this podcast.
It was simply to provide myself and my audience with a first hand account of what, why, and how he views and utilizes dog training concepts in his training.
This conversation, in my opinion, is another step in an attempt to bridge the wide gap between the two warring camps in dog training.
I hope you approach this podcast with an open mind and save your decisions, beliefs, and feelings for the moment you have all of the information presented to you.
I have asked other well known trainers and scientists to have conversations with me, and quite frankly they do not have the courage to take me up on my offer.
If they are upset by this podcast, they are welcome to join me to talk about it.
You may not like this podcast.
You may love it.
But understanding each other is crucial to progressing as a group.
Progress lies just beyond a few difficult conversations and the sooner we begin to talk to each other, the sooner we can begin to truly make progress as an industry.
