  • Fun and Informative

    I gain so much from listening to this podcast! I’ve had 4 family dogs as an adult and two years ago I brought home my first puppy. This time, it’s just me raising and training a dog. Marissa’s podcast reminds me to listen to my instincts and intuition. As a result, my dog and I have become a good team. Very grateful for the wisdom offered here!

Ep 71: The Nuts and Bolts of Cooperative Care with Dr. Sophie Liu
Q: Should we train for a specific opt-in behavior or capture an opt-in behavior that the dog is already offering?

Cooperative care is when the animal willingly participates and has awareness and knowledge of what we're going to do; it's a choice to stay in the game despite that.
