Dogs, Personality, and Breed with Dr Jessica Hekman
Join Sarah as she discusses the recent paper “Ancestry-inclusive dog genomics challenges popular breed stereotypes” (Morrill, et al) with one of the authors and repeat podcast guest, Dr Jessica Hekman. Affectionately known as “the mutt paper” amongst its authors, this research has been taking the internet by storm due to the click-bait-y articles that have been written about it. What does the paper actually say? What does it not say? What can we use this research for, as professionals?
The paper and the supplementary materials: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639?fbclid=IwAR0CY2tlftCuZPHGdR7rcioZRfj_hsqNHZ4uytNPcNQQAO5iRtYN-a-NYgY

"Pre-Errors" and Their Role in Errorless Teaching

The Value of Dog Training with Erin Moore
In this candid conversation (with adult language!) Sarah and dog business coach Erin Moore explore why dog training costs what it does, why bargain hunting might not be in your best interest as a consumer, and why dog training professionals by and large should be charging MORE.
Erin Moore was a successful dog trainer for thirteen years before burning out, switching gears, and finally deciding to help other dog trainers avoid her mistakes.
