Jay Jack on Dog Training — Emotional Control, Clarity Over Structure, and the Layered Stress Model

In the premiere episode of Doggie Stoic, Andrew Goldberg sits down with legendary dog trainer Jay Jack to explore the intersection between stoicism, emotional intelligence, and effective dog training. Together they unpack why clarity—not structure—is the key to a dog’s freedom, how emotions shape both canine and human behavior, and the revolutionary “layered stress model” that reframes reactivity and aggression at their root cause.From stoic philosophy to real-world stories of transformation, this conversation bridges the art of living calmly with the science of training skillfully. A must-listen for any dog owner or trainer seeking depth, not just technique.
