  • The one with Robert Cabral

    The episode with Robert Cabral was phenomenal. There were so many great gems of wisdom and insightful advice. I need to listen again, but this time have pen and paper ready to take notes. Roberts way of communicating training philosophy with calm confidence is remarkable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 39: The Infinite Approach to Modern Dog Training with Josh Beckler
Q: What are some techniques you like to get that dog when it's making the wrong choice to teach it to make the right choice?
Beckler first assesses the dog's sensory profile, arousal, preferred reinforcement and ability to regulate. He then uses compelling communication and rewards to teach alternative behaviors, while tailoring the approach to the dog's specific drivers and training history.
Episode 39: The Infinite Approach to Modern Dog Training with Josh Beckler
Q: Could you walk us through some of those, maybe the big ones or the ones you find the most interesting?
Beckler describes broad categories of reactivity and aggression, including fear-based, contextual, conflict and territorial reactivity, as well as defensive, offensive or control, and conflict-dependent aggression. He says the book uses case studies to show how these patterns appear in practice.
Episode 38: Conflict in the Dog Training Industry - A Sit Down with Ivan Balabanov
Q: Is it acceptable to invite force-free speakers to balance training conferences?
There is value in dialogue and cross-learning, but invitations must be balanced with clear standards that protect core training methods and ensure reciprocal respect.
Episode 38: Conflict in the Dog Training Industry - A Sit Down with Ivan Balabanov
Q: How should the IACP decide which speakers get invited to the conference?
Members should have a say, but practical constraints exist; the process should involve transparent criteria, public reasons for selections, and a committee to review potential speakers.
Episode 32: The Power of Tone Training With Eric Stanbro
Q: Do you use the vibration feature at all, or is it just tone?
Vibration is generally avoided by the trainer because it can give owners an excuse not to use stimulation, though some other trainers have found it useful in specific, controlled contexts; the trainer prefers tone and stimulation when needed.
