Training Without Conflict® | Dog Training Podcast

Some dogs lock onto squirrels with full predatory intent, the kind that ignores treats, toys, and every force-free trick in the book.Desensitization, Counterconditioning or Predationsubstitutes? Yes, they work for play chasing... but fail hard when the drive isto kill. Once the dog is locked in, adrenaline wins, yourhigh-value rewards get out-bid.A simple "NO" paired with consequencebecomes a powerful verbal interrupt. No more endless management, just reliableoff-leash control in high stakes moments (traffic, wildlife, livestock).See the real demo: setup, chase, and instantstop with nothing but my voice. True freedom for high drive dogs starts here.If pure positive methods aren't cutting it withyour dog, this changes everything.

In this episode, I sit down with Pierre Wahlstrom, a lifelong officer in the Swedish Armed Forces, elite working-dog specialist, world-level judge, and World Champion.

Pierre has spent over three decades developing, testing, breeding, judging, and training working dogs at the highest level. He currently serves as CEO for testing and procurement of dogs for the Swedish Armed Forces and as technical adviser for military dog breeding.

He is a long time IPO/IGP and SV judge, has judged multiple World Championships (FCI, WUSV, ISPU, FMBB), and was World Champion with a German Shepherd in 2007, while also coaching numerous national and world-level teams.

We talk selection, nerves, genetics, judging, and what actually separates great dogs from average ones from someone who has seen it all, on the field and behind the scenes.

If you care about real working dogs and real performance, this episode is a must listen.

This time I sat down with Jay Jack. Jay is the mind behind GRC (Gameness, Relationship, Control) Dog Sport. If you mix bull breeds with martial arts culture, Jay is the guy who shows up. This episode is really a catch up, no script, no agenda. Just me and Jay talking dogs, and you’re the fly on the wall.

This episode is with Daisy Peel. Daisy is an agility trainer and competitor and has been part of the U.S. World Team nine times.

In this podcast, we go deeper into the sport of agility and compare it with other dog sports. We talk about what it really means to select and train dogs for the world stage versus training a pet dog simply to provide an outlet and maintain a healthy, balanced mind.

We also touch on the cultural differences between sports. Unlike protection sports, agility is a community that is predominantly force-free and yes, we talk openly about that too.

Enjoy.

Should the dog training industry in the USA be regulated?I’ve been asked this over and over again, and the answer is not as simple as people think.In this episode, I break down what regulation could improve, what it could destroy, and the one line that matters most if this industry ever gets “controlled” by outside forces.Curious to hear everyone's thoughts.
