The Davidthedogtrainer Podcast

David and Josh sit down and have a long chat about some of the issues with nationally recognized dog trainer Larry Krohn and his push for less aversive dog training.  We also break down the FINAL chapter of the book by Monks of New Skete "Raising the perfect puppy".

David and Josh discuss techniques used by Gary Wilkes in his blog posts at clickandtreat.com discussing using punishment to stop unwanted behaviors.  Discuss further the use of corrections and why they are so important.

David and Josh review a chapter in the Monks of New Skete book discussing methods to discipline your puppy for behavioral issues.  We contemplate the methods used and discuss their benefit as well as more modern ways of solving these problems.

Today Alex Mazzurco joins us for our first official "business podcast".  Alex is graphic design, marketing, and social media business owner.  She also is a nutrition and fitness coach for Level TEN coaching.  We discuss different ideas on how to get started doing what you love doing and making a living off of it, brand tactics and why it's important, and the mental side of owning your own company.

David and Josh sit down with special guest David's wife Kate.  We play a game of "ask the dog trainers wife" where Kate answers common dog training questions.  And we discussed combining dog households and dealing with competitions between them and a big dog fight we had.

David and Josh sit down to burn through some dog training Q&A that we have been receiving on our Miracle K9 Training TikTok page.  We discuss lots of topics and lots of chat about dog reactivity.

David and Josh sit down to discuss some topics brought to the table by Josh.  We review multiple articles, answer dog training questions, and discuss business tactics and philosophies that we have followed through our careers.

David and Josh Burn through the last segment of "Raising The Perfect Puppy" while facing technical difficulties.

After accidentally deleting almost an hours worth of an episode, David and Josh Rehash out some points on Daycare updates at Miracle K9 Training, Fan questions, and puppy raising information.

Josh and David spend a decent chunk of the beginning of the show discussing their time playing in touring bands as well as how that correlated to success in leadership and pursuing through adversity.  They then read one of the best chapters in the Raising the Perfect Puppy book.
