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!

Exercise or Relaxation?
It is a common adage amongst dog trainers: “your dog doesn’t need more exercise, he needs to be trained to relax.” The fear being spread is that by providing more exercise we will create super athletes whose exercise needs are impossible to meet. But is there truth to that statement? Join Sarah and canine sports medicine veterinarian Dr Leslie Eide as they explore this question.
Leslie Eide DVM, CCRT practices north of Seattle WA and has a variety of canine conditioning and exercise programs available online. She can be found at www.thetotalcanine.com and at https://www.facebook.com/thetotalcanine

Choice vs Structure
You’ve heard you should give an anxious or otherwise dysregulated dog structure, but you;ve also heard you should give them choice and control. Aren’t these things in conflict? Which camp is right?
