Canine Conversations - Dog Training Podcast

I'm not a fan of too many on the internet, but GOLDIE and FRENCHIE of DOGPACK are on my favorite list. So, you can imagine how happy I was to get the chance to interview them , or actually their "creator" for this special podcast! We talk about so many topics and I think you'll be so surprised by their founding their mission and the exciting future of the most sensational DUO on social media! It's funny yet deep and I hope it gives you a great laugh and an awesome account to follow on social.. an account that is actually very very worthwhile...

If you love dogs and are working in any capacity with dogs such as a dog trainer, boarding, grooming, a dog walker or most anything else, listen to the message in this podcast. The IACP is an organization that helps all dog professionals... yes, all of them no matter their ideals or methodologies. It's an organization that cares about dogs and the future of caring for them, not any political agenda. I've been a member for many years and support IACP. Jason is the president of the IACP and we delve into the future of dog training and dog trainers with the current attacks on certain dog trainers that don't follow the very politically charged agenda. We talk about the benefits of coming together for the dogs and how we could all lose if the radical ideology wins. Here are some valuable links to the IACP: https://iacpdogs.org/ https://www.facebook.com/CanineProfessionals/ https://www.instagram.com/canineprofessionals https://open.spotify.com/show/5t0AP62khbuLAUuqredufC For more info on Jason, check out his website here: https://highlandcanine.com #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining

These guys wrote the book on social operations dogs. Shanon Krieger, Steve Zane Stoops and Mike Reaver are legends in the military police K9 world. Before them the term didn't exist. Terms like Combat Assault Dogs, Spec Ops K9, War Dogs and others were founded by the men in this interview. Best of all, the talk you're about to be. apart of has never been public. Lot's of behind the scenes dirt on what made the program great and what it needs today! The dogs of the US Special Forces comprise the toughest dogs on earth. Manstoppers, pipe hitters; dogs that do what no other dog on earth can do. Clear buildings with terrorists, save lives and keep you safe. This talk, I promise you is like NONE OTHER you've ever seen. Each of these guys has been on the podcast before, but I always wanted the DIRT, so I put them all three together and what we got is PURE GOLD! #workingdog #militarydogs #malinois

It's always great to have Avi over and just talk. We never know where the conversation is gonna go and those are my favorite chats. I don't like scripted questions, I believe they make for phony interviews. Now-a-days everyone has a podcast, so I decided to back off on mine. My goal is to only share interesting conversations with people, the kind of conversations I'd like to listen to.. not just a talk to talk. We talked about his dog ORKAN, training, competing and his new endeavor in dog training equipment including the AC STICK. I think you'll like this chat, Avi is a favorite guest because I think our conversations are raw and real. I'm providing links to Avi's socials below as well as the AC STICK he mentions... https://acstick.com Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/avi.cohen.100483 Instagram @avicohenrad

There are so many things Oscar and I cover in this podcast that your head will spin. From the top level competitive training to dangerous and deadly dogs. Oscar Mora is back and we have a lot to talk about. Oscar and I have been training together and filming together for a new project that will be out in the next couple of months. Besides that Oscar has been a huge help with my new puppy Schmuley and for that I am very grateful. Oscar is not only a GREAT dog trainer, but a man of his word, a man of high character and a good friend.... even though I'm old enough to be his dad! LOL! We talk about Malinois, protection dogs, sport dogs, Corsos and just about every other dog - and the conversation could go on forever! I respect Oscar's training approach as well as his character as a decent man... a family man, a competitor and a friend.

Mission K9 Rescue is a great organization that helps military dogs. These dogs need special help to be transported back to the USA and get reunited with their handlers. When it comes time to transporting these dogs Mission K9 steps in. They also help handlers get reunited with their canines and help get Contract Working Dogs back to the USA and adopted. It's a great mission they are doing and I really enjoyed this chat with Bob in this podcast. Check out their site here: https://missionk9rescue.org/ #militarydogs #policedog #workingdog

Belgian Malinois are an amazing breed and if you want to learn as much as you can about them, check out this podcast with Peter and Connie Scherk. Peter is a 3X World Champion, FCI / FMBB Champion and his wife Connie also a fierce competitor. But beyond that, they are truly dog LOVERS as you'll see in this podcast. They are among the very top authorities when it comes to the Belgian Malinois. In this podcast we focus a lot on malinois puppies, breeding, selecting and training them for protection sports such as IGP / IPO / Schutzhund. This is a great chat with so much information about malinois puppies, that anyone who either has a malinois or is interested in getting one, should listen. Truly one of my favorite podcasts on the topic. We talk about training the puppies in the right steps to be solid sport protection dogs, the how's and why's....

I first met Manny around 2012 when he was working at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter. He asked me to come help him with behavioral programs and some troubled dogs. I obliged and we became friends and over the years he spent several opportunities training with me. Manny is a genuine human being who loves dogs and his passion shows through in his work. He has come a long way from those days, and now runs his own training facility in Palm Springs as well as so much more. I'm really proud of the person he is and has become. We share some great stories in this chat that will be inspirational to anyone who wants to become a dog trainer and anyone who loves dogs.

The German Shepherd is a noble, intelligent and intelligent dog. Sadly they have been maligned on different occasions, namely during thee Second World War when Nazi forces used them to commit harmful and sometimes deadly acts on Jews in Concentration Camps. How does this apply to this video? READ ON! The SV (Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde) is an organization that is designed to advocate for and protect the breed. The SV is a fantastic organization that has done so much for the breed. However, recently they have invited a politician who is at the center of some controversy to be a guest at their big show, the Bundessiegerzuchtschau. Hubert Aiwanger is currently the Deputy Minister President of Bavaria and the Bavarian Minister of Economic affairs, Regional Development and Energy. He is both the faction leader of the Federal Association of Free Voters as well as the Bavarian State Association of Free and Independent Voters. In the last few weeks some controversy surfaced linking him to antisemitic materials that he possessed as a young man. Since this show is purely about the benefit of the dog, I will explain in the podcast that any association that the German Shepherd has to someone possibly linked to extremism can cause a backlash onto the dog. For that reason I ask you to respectfully contact the SV at the email below and ask them to kindly remove Hubert Aiwanger from their event this weekend September 7-10th. I ask you to do this kindly, respectfully, but with intent. This is important for anyone who loves the German Shepherd! link to the SV: https://www.schaeferhunde.de/en/ email the SV: info@schaeferhunde.de Watch this 3 minute video to learn more about the current controversy: https://x.com/dw_politics/status/1697305771195715742?s=48&t=67j2Cm2FE5PYvcJ4PusJQQ Thank you to everyone who cares enough to take the time to take action and speak on behalf of the dogs! Our dogs should never be associated to something that they had no control over and would slight them. They should be loved and protected! #germanshepherd #israel #gsd #germany

Kyle called me one day and said, "How come you never have anyone interview you?" And then immediately said, "I want to interview you on YOUR show!" Now, there aren't many people that I would just say yes to, but I've known Kyle for a long time and respect his passion for dogs - so what could go wrong? LOL. I agreed and we set a time to meet at the park where I do a lot of my training. This chat was very deep and the questions were well thought out and insightful. So, if you want to learn a little more about me - take a listen to this podcast! Kyle has a great demeanor for interviewing because he's really interested, and that is something I pride myself on also. This wasn't just a "ask 10 questions and move on. Kyle's questions were very thought out. and he really wanted to probe these topics. He didn't prepare me, so this is just off the cuff, which I like best! I hate prepared interviews. If you haven't seen the podcast I did with Kyle earlier this year, here's a link: https://youtu.be/JA4lX97Zwcw?si=p7qKqWqzrFvzdovU *** IT IS THE MOST POPULAR PODCAST I HAVE DONE TO DATE! That is a testament to our mutual. respect and passion for the dogs we work with and the methods we use. I want to thank Kyle for taking the time to do this, it really was a selfless act.. like he said, "I think people want to know the real Robert Cabral!" well, to all of you who want to know more about the real me, here you go. Enjoy! Let me know in the comments what you think! #doglover #dogs #dogtrainer

This podcast will probably blow up the internet and ruffle many feathers. I had no idea where this conversation would go, in fact I wasn't even sure if we were gonna do a podcast. Larry was in town getting ready for a seminar, so I took him to a favorite beach spot to have a beer and some fish tacos. Then we thought, what the heck, let's talk! Our conversations are always like minded, entertaining and meaningful. I'm blessed to count this guy as a very close friend, comrade, fellow dog trainer and more! We often laugh at the same stuff, get frustrated at the same issues and always value each other. I can honestly say I feel like I've known him for so long, even though it's only bee a few years. We connected through a mutual respect in dog training and then found out we grew up a few miles from one another in New Jersey. We both moved to the south at one point and we both have the same humor. We also share a true respect and passion for dogs. This chat delves into so many topics, O'd be remiss to try and list them all here, but some are: ecollar bans, purely positive training, rescue dogs, dog trainer certification, ethics in training, haters and SOOOO much more. NO matter what you're looking for, you will either LOVE or HATE this podcast, I hope you'll make it all the way through, because it takes a sudden turn right around the 1 HOUR mark!

PItbulls are one of the most controversial breed of dog. They polarize people: some LOVE them - some HATE them! I thought it would be a great idea to talk to someone who would seem somewhat neutral and get some more info on the breed. Kenny Licklider has trained so many dogs to the highest level including those for the US Military. So, the question is: "Can pitbulls be used for military k9 work?" The surprising answer is in this video. Pitbulls can be really amazing dogs and when you hear the stories from Ken, you will agree. It takes a special person to own them, train them and live with them, but when you find that match, you will be astounded!

AKC Obedience is a dog training skill like few others. For the most part it is women dominating the sport and everyone knows everyone. I have competed in AKC obedience all the way from Novice to Utility. The person that first introduced me to the sport many years ago was Flo Walberg. We have stayed friends over the years and I thought it would be great to get her on the show and talk about dog training and more. Flo has competed at the highest levels and WON at those levels. She has trained, competed and titled Border Collies as well as Rottweilers over the years. To watch Flo compete is awesome. She is composed, professional and a TOP COMPETITOR. There are only a few people I like to watch doing AKC Obedience and Flo is one of them. In this chat we talk about the mindset, the training, the dogs and her beginnings in the sport. No matter what style of dog training you're doing, you'll gain something from this podcast with the one and only Flo Walberg!

I have interviewed many champions and world champions in protection dog sports. For this podcast I sat down with Mia Skogster of Finland who is a 2x World IGP Champion in the FMBB. We talked about her passion for dogs, dog training, completion and breeding. What it takes to be a champion and how much love and dedication it takes to train a world champion dog. IGP is a very tough sport and getting into the mind of a trainer like Mia will shed some insight to anyone who is interested in learning more about dogs, dog training and dog sports. We also talk about the important roles that working dog sports play for the world as a whole and I think this is a very interesting topic.

This discussion is sure to ruffle some feathers as Michael, Bart and I discuss everything that is going on in dog training, but everyone is afraid to talk about. This includes the radical shift in dog training language and methodologies and how that will affect dogs. The bans on training tools that are being attempted here in the USA and the ones that have taken place in many European countries and what that means for the future of dog training. We discuss the use of the ecollar and the stigma that surrounds it as well. As we see people trying to ban tools and dog sports, we should understand that this will inevitably mean an end to dogs as we know them and owning dogs as pets. A very sad state of events for anyone who loves dogs. I've known Bart for over 12 years and we've shared some great conversations about dog training and technology over the years. I hope you'll enjoy this chat. It's a no holds barred, gloves off conversation about our passion for dog training.

Dog Sports such as IGP / Schutzhund / IPO, Ring Sports and others are under attack. Whether you are interested in dog sports or not, this should concern you. These attacks come from people who know little about dogs and dog training. In this interview I speak to 2X World FMBB IGP Champion Florian Knabl and his wife Patricia Pehrsson about K9 and Sports, an organization that is uniting dog sports enthusiasts to help fight for the future of all dog sports. Here are some links to K9 and Sports: Website: https://k9-and-sports.com/support-k9-and-sports/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/K9andsports-103569182649800/ instagram: https://instagram.com/k9andsports?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2T= Check my online dog training lessons: https://robertcabral.com Check my online dog trainer program: http://shelterdogtraining.com My logo shirts, hats, t-shirts and more: https://robertcabral.com/shop It is also important to remember that supporting K9 and Sports further helps the future of well bred dogs that go on to be pets, companions, and working dogs in fields such as police and military, search and rescue / SAR, detection dogs and more. #dogsports #ipo #workingdog

Police dog stories always interest me, and hone you have access to a guy like Steve "Zane" Stoops there are no shortage. I often refer to Steve as my brother from another mother. He has more experience when it comes to police and military dogs than just about anyone out there. In this episode we talk about some great "Muzzle Stories." These are all real life instances where a muzzled police k9 has saved a life. Really great information that relates to police work and understanding the lifesaving work that police dogs do every day.

There are dogs and then there are police and military dogs. The most elite of all dogs are those that serve in the Special Operations Divisions of the US Military. These are the dogs we're discussing in this podcast. Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds and more. Ken Lichlider is known for training these dogs as well as deploying more working dogs during some recent US military operations than the US Military. Ken is the owner, operator and chief training instructor at Von Liche Kennels. You may recognize him from his show on Nat Geo Wild "Alpha Dogs." This conversation opens a lot of conversations that have NEVER been discussed. The real people who trained and provided these dogs, not the imposters you see on the internet and social media.
