SHOW NOTES
Bark! Fest gets off to a tail-wagging start with a conversation with one of the world’s top dog trainers. Jean Donaldson’s seminal book The Culture Clash reframed how we think about dogs and has inspired generations of dog trainers to use (or switch to) reward-based methods. Join us to talk about all things dog training, including positive reinforcement, fearful dogs, and education for dog owners and trainers alike.
This recording is of a panel at Bark! Fest, the book festival for animal lovers, that took place in September 2024. Bark! Fest was organized to celebrate the launch of Zazie Todd's third book, Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog.
We talked about:
why Jean wrote her book The Culture Clash
what the Transparency Challenge is and why it's so important for dog trainers to answer these questions
her advice to someone who is struggling with their dog's behaviour
what is distinctive about the Academy for Dog Trainers
a writing tip
her favourite thing that's changed in the world of dog training over the years
and she answered lots of questions from the audience
