The False Dichotomy with Lisa Mullinax CDBC Part 1
In response to the “trainer wars” between the balanced and force-free communities Sarah and past podcast guest (and friend) Lisa Mullinax sit down to talk about the place where ethics meet efficacy. Lisa and Sarah do not claim a label as trainers (neither balanced nor force-free), and have both undergone an evolution in the behavior field that has helped them to arrive at a place free of dogma and full of compassion.
Know the opinions expressed here are vulnerable and honest, and there can’t be enough time for all nuance to be present in all conversations. Neither Sarah nor Lisa represent anything other than themselves in their thoughts expressed herein.

“Enriched to Death”?
You might have seen a post titled “Enriched to Death” being shared around social media in the last week. Of course, this is a misnomer because enrichment by definition is life-enhancing. But why is this post viral? Is there a reason we are worried about this?

Trainer Showcase: Charlotte Hoberg
Charlotte Hoberg CPDT-KA owns and operates Sit ‘n Stay Training in Maryland. She specializes in reactivity and sport foundations and primarily offers board and train. She trains for and competes in IGP with her personal dogs. For the podcast we discussed a mixed breed dog named Tate who had developed multiple problematic behavior concerns in a shelter including dog-directed reactivity, handler-directed aggression in certain contexts, and problematic fixations on food, humans, and any other resource. His inability to rest or settle in the home was just an added bonus!
