Episode 79: Neutrality vs social skills, with Anja Andjelic from the DogNerd

December 17, 2024
Podcast

In this podcast episode, Anja and I dive into various aspects of dog training, focusing on the balance between building neutrality and fostering social skills to raise well-adjusted dogs. We share personal experiences with our own dogs, reflecting on how their unique personalities shaped our approaches to teaching disengagement, neutrality, or sociability.

I also touch on dog behaviour, the importance of building confidence in reactive dogs, and practical training methods that emphasise disengagement rather than forcing interactions. Throughout the episode, we aim to provide insights for dog trainers and owners who are navigating the complexities of canine behaviour, sociability, and individual dog needs.

Are you ready to learn from a Geek and a Nerd? 🙂
