Episode 271: More things dog trainers hate to hear

After the rousing discussion sparked by our previous episode, "Things Dog Trainers Hate to Hear," it's clear that the conversation between pet owners and dog trainers is far more nuanced than can be captured by a list of frustrating phrases. The topic was so well-received that we decided to take it a step further in our newest podcast episode, where we delve into how the dynamic between pet owners and trainers is evolving in contemporary society. Social media platforms, with their host of cute dog videos and quick 'tips and tricks,' can both help and hinder the pet owner-trainer relationship. On the one hand, they serve as platforms for trainers to share valuable insights and for pet owners to learn and share. On the other, they can perpetuate harmful myths and encourage unprofessional training techniques, creating a host of challenges for certified trainers to untangle later on. As we've discussed in our latest podcast episode, the relationship between pet owners and dog trainers is constantly evolving. Through this evolution, it's important to go beyond debunking frustrating phrases or myths and instead focus on the new ways that training methods and pet owner expectations are adapting to the changing landscape. Through understanding these shifts, we can better facilitate a rewarding experience for both dogs and their humans.
