Jean Donaldson is a legend in the dog training world and her book The Culture Clash has been incredibly influential. In fact many people tell me it started them on their journey towards being a positive reinforcement trainer. Back in 2016, I had the honour of interviewing Jean about the book and she said, "Thousands of practitioners are already out there, daily, getting the job done both in training, behaviour modification, management of animals, the full gamut of case types, and they're doing so without aversives."
It's an incredible honour that I, together with my colleague Kristi Benson, get to interview Jean Donaldson again on Monday 9 September and 10am Pacific (1pm ET/6pm UK time). I can't think of a better way to start Bark! Fest, the book festival for animal lovers. I hope to see you there!
This event is free and a recording will be available for those who register. Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/6017216694496/WN_lkCyfTlJTDe6Kx012vzevg

I'd take a bet that there's not a dog trainer alive who's not heard this...

But if a dog behaves 'better' during a training session it's not because they're trying to impress the 'teacher'. Or because the trainer exudes any mystical power. There's no 'dog trainer magic' at work. If a dog behaves 'better' it's almost certainly because -

• the trainer rewards more generously
• the trainer has better timing
• the trainer rewards anything that's better, no matter how small the improvement, instead of waiting for perfection
• the trainer doesn't put the dog in situations they can't cope with

And the good news is these are all skills that you can learn!

If you are struggling to see progress or have stalled in your training journey it's worth asking yourself whether you could improve on any of these. And if you can...do!
