Come On In, the Water's Muddy - Part 2 with Elizabeth Beaulieu

Welcome to Beers and Biscuits, a Dogcast for the rest of us! Many pet guardians are surprised to learn that the dog training profession is unregulated. In this part 2 of our episode, we will delve into what guardians can look for when hiring a new dog training/behavior or other dog professional with guest, dog guardian turned training and behavior professional, Elizabeth Beaulieu, CDBC, IAABC-ADT. In this episode, we cover the importance of language usage in the dog training / animal care world. Even making small changes, like moving away from pet “owner” and toward pet “guardian” as we have in the last episode, can create a lasting impact not only in how we perceive animals, but how we treat them, and of course, train them.And what are some tough questions guardians should be asking before they hire a training professional: What methods they will use to teach How do they handle mistakes and setbacks in training What guarantees do they make about their training (Hint – they shouldn’t be making any) Featured Beverage: Summer Cider Series - Pomegranate Hard Cider from Copper Pig Brewery, Lancaster, NH.
