Humans talk, and dogs observe. In Part II of the “Learn to Talk Dog” PUPcast series, Nancy Bown, CPDT-KA and Johnny C. of Ace50 Media discuss common misconceptions of canine behavior with Debbie Revell, RN, Dip CABT, CDBD, ACCBD. Debbie, who is an advocate for positive reinforcement training, says “The more aversive training you use, the less skills you have.”

Revell debunks four canine myths and provides practical, positive response options to common canine behaviors. Our dogs are giving us cues and signals with their body language all the time. However, most of the time we don’t recognize these signals.
