Pine Irwin CPDT-KA, ABKA L2, QTDE

Hey friends, thanks for joining me for this episode of Fresh Bites where we chat with rising stars in our community and hear new ideas and concepts to working with aggression in dogs. I have the pleasure of having a great conversation with Pine Irwin in this episode about determining outcomes in aggression cases, and realistic expectations formed through using objective measures. Because let’s face it, there are a lot of emotions swirling around with all the humans involved with an aggression case, including the dog’s guardians, trainers, veterinarians, rescue or shelter teams, and everyone else that may be involved in the case, so decisions can often be difficult to make and filled with subjectivity. I think you will get some nice takeaways from this episode with Pine.

About Pine:

"My name is Pine Irwin and I am a certified dog trainer and behavior specialist based in Idaho. I come from a long line of animal lovers, with a grandfather who was a veterinarian and having been raised on a horse farm. I took an early interest in working with animals through horses, and then the family german shepherd after I found a book on making dog agility equipment in the public library. I became interested in behavior when 14 years ago I adopted an aussie with a serious aggression issue. He lead me to understanding behavior, drive and motivators in a way I had never thought of before and was the dog who pioneered my cross over from a more traditional training background to one based in modern science and understanding. I have since engaged in experimenting with applying force free training techniques to feral mustangs (including my own who at the time I started working with him had already been labeled as a "Dangerous, aggressive horse") , amorous ducks bent on engaging in aggressive displays of romance with human caretakers, and the more then occasional semi-feral dog caught in a live trap after being dumped in wilderness locations. I specialize in dealing with aggression presenting behaviors, and the "Weird" stuff that pops up in working with animals. I am the head of the behavior department, and dog end of a rescue organization that deals with abandoned, and neglected animals in southern Idaho. I work as a consultant with the HSUS, Local rescue organizations and colleagues who I am foolish enough to give unfettered access to
