030 – Science and the Problem with Celebrating Weakness – Jacqui Zakar Dogsense

from Beastly Talks · host Beautiful Beasts Dog Training

In this week's episode of Beastly Talks, we had a very interesting chat with Jacqui Zakar from Dogsense in Perth. With a background in studying psychology, Jacqui has a very no nonsense approach to dog training and behaviour modification, and she keeps up to date with the most recent scientific literature. Where Stian talks a lot of "bro science" (meaning things I observe, but don't know the scientific reasoning for why it's happening) Jacqui provides some great insights and clear understanding into the dog training space.Join us as we jump a little all over the shop, talking about everything from puppy raising, to behaviour modification, reactivity and fighting morons on social media.We really hope you enjoy this conversation!
