How our dogs really learn - lessons from a force free horse trainer

In this episode, I chat with Maxine Easey about how our animals learn and how different training approaches impact their emotional states and experiences. Max is the founder of Horse Charming and she has been training horses and their owners since 2007. You’re probably wondering why I’m interviewing a horse trainer on a podcast about rescue dogs! Well, it’s because Max is a leading authority on force free training and how animals learn and she's studied and worked with some of the world's leading trainers.In this episode, we talk about how our dogs perceive the world around them, the importance of understanding your dog’s hierarchy of needs and why it’s so important to understand our own emotions and how they impact how we treat our dogs. To find out more about Max and her work, visit her website Horse Charming. For more content like this and to be part of the Rescue Tails community, come join the Rescue Tails group on Facebook.
