In Case You Missed It!
Did you know that children under 10 are in the age group for the highest risk of a dog bite?
In this episode of Fresh Bites for The Bitey End of the Dog, I chat with Debby Lucken who is the founder of Kids Around Dogs (KAD). We explore why children are more likely to be bitten, discuss risk assessment in dog to child directed aggression cases, and take a deep dive into the many ways we can promote safe and healthy relationships between dogs and children.

This is a great episode where I get the chance to chat with a fellow behavior consultant about, well, a whole bunch of topics! Lauren Novack from Behavior Vets joins me in a fantastic conversation where we go down rabbit holes in applied behavior analysis, consent-based training, trauma in dogs, and a whole lot of other behavior geekery.

Dogs that bark, growl, lunge, snarl, and snap when on-leash. Also known as leash reactivity, this is one of the most common issues a dog trainer may be asked to help with.
In this episode of The Bitey End of the Dog, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jessica Wheatcraft, who I consider one of the best out there on understanding and working with this issue. Jessica and I take a deep dive into the topic of leash reactivity and explore advanced concepts that we can incorporate in even the most difficult of cases. And don’t forget to check out The Aggression in Dogs Conference where Jessica will be presenting on this very topic of Advanced Concepts in Leash Reactivity – What, When, and How to Change Criteria.

I talk about understanding dog aggression for the first bonus episode of the Bitey End Of The Dog Subscription. There are a lot of complicated theories and ways of approaching working with aggression in dogs. But for me, aggression is behavior. It is the behavior they display in response to something threatening or a provocative stimulus in the environment.

When we are thinking about positive reinforcement based training, we often envision food as the reinforcer we are using. Or perhaps we might use toys or other reinforcers such as giving attention to a dog when they keep all four paws on the floor instead of jumping up. But what about play? Just straight up play with your dog without toys.
In this episode of The Bitey End of the Dog, I have a fun conversation with Dr. Amy Cook from Play Way Dogs on using The Play Way with dogs, and chat about why play can go far beyond “just reinforcement.”
Amy’s signature Play Way class is running now and there is still time to enroll. To learn more, click here https://bit.ly/3JzX3Rh

Stress, hormones, emotions, impulse control, arousal, cognition --- a lot of different words that get thrown around in our conversations about dogs and behavior.
In this episode with the incredibly informative Dr. Kristina Spaulding, we unpack many of those terms, and why they are so important to define correctly when discussing aggression in dogs. Kristina does an amazing job of breaking down these concepts in the show, and I hope to see the conversation continue in the dog training community.

Fresh Bites on The Bitey End of the Dog Season 3, Episode 8 with Daniel Shaw
In this season, you might have noticed we’ve talked about systematic approaches to changing behavior several times, which is exciting for me to see happening as we can sometimes witness spaghetti on the wall approaches in dog training.
Daniel Shaw joins me for this episode of Fresh Bites on the Bitey End of the Dog for a wonderful chat around his systematic formulation approach to working with aggression in dogs. This can include principles such as CBT skills, systemic counseling principles, and psychodynamic principles. These might seem like fancy words, but Daniel does a fantastic job of breaking things down in an understandable way.

Fresh Bites on The Bitey End of the Dog Season 3, Episode 6 with Abigail Witthauer
Sometimes as dog trainers, we focus much of our attention on the dog, and meeting the needs of that dog in front of us. Though, we can sometimes lose sight of the person on the other end of the leash, and accommodating their needs as well.
In this episode of Fresh Bites on The Bitey End of the Dog I have an educational conversation with Abigail Witthauer about effectively working with people with disabilities, and ensuring that success can happen at both ends of the leash.
Abigail also gives excellent advice on addressing the issue of ableism in the dog training community, and I hope the conversation about the many issues with ableism, and how it can impact our friends and colleagues, continues beyond this podcast.
