  • 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 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.
Episode 33: Understanding Dog Training Challenges With Ivan Balabanov
Q: What advice would you give to trainers who feel stuck or plateaued in their training journey?
Start with achievable cases, build confidence with easier dogs, and gradually take on more complex work; if you're learning, seek diverse sources, and avoid pretending you have all the answers; step back, stay curious, and keep expanding your toolkit through incremental challenges.
Episode 33: Understanding Dog Training Challenges With Ivan Balabanov
Q: What are your thoughts on dominance in dog training and how it should be approached in practice?
Dominance is a momentary dynamic about who controls resources; it's not a universal trait and should not be used to label dogs as inherently dominant or submissive. Trainers should lead with clear decisions and ensure the dog understands and can respond to commands, while avoiding blanket judgments about personality.
Episode 22: Mastering the Dog Training Business with Stephanie Vichinsky
Q: What impact has parenting had on your approach to training and client relationships?
Parenting has deepened her empathy for clients and improved communication, especially with families; she emphasizes treating clients as people first and building trust through genuine connection and shared life experiences.
Episode 22: Mastering the Dog Training Business with Stephanie Vichinsky
Q: So just to start, do you want to walk us through who you are, your backstory, how you got the position you're in now, and we'll kind of go from there?
Stephanie shares her journey from poverty to building a diversified dog-training business, highlighting hands-on experience across daycares, shelters, service and protection work, and eventually founding Method K9. She emphasizes grit, humility, and learning from real dogs as the foundation of her career.
