Welcome to episode 2 of the revamped season 1 (as of Sept, 2021)  In this episode, I  share thought provoking information and stories to "retrain your brain", so you can easily absorb the information on UPWARD Dogology in the following episodes. Mainstream dog training currently consists of methods adhering to Conventional Methodologies.  These methods are effective and many dogs can go through their entire life with the guidance provided by Conditioning Methods. But for many dogs these methods can fall short after puppyhood.  This is not the fault of the owner or trainer, or, of course, the dog!  This episode talks about how industry experts have effectively (and thankfully) diminished the popularity of negative methods and techniques, yet also recognize the need for a methodology that is non-aversive and effective with dogs over 6 months, and in particular, ones with a checkered or unconventional past. To start this process, it is necessary to open our minds to learning.
