Dog Training DisrUPted - UPWARD Dogology

Welcome to Dog Training DisrUPted. Do you get overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting suggestions and advise? You are not alone! Surprisingly, many of those approaches may be effective, and many ineffective - why? Many methods assess behaviors and then implement solutions to address the behavior. CCBT analyzes the situation, determining the reason for the dog's behaivor, based on the goal and thought processes. This episode explores one situation (a dog growling) in four different scenerios, Based on the information we gather, we can determine the reason for the behavior - which is different in each situation, which is important in determining the platform exercises we develop. Put on your thinking cap, or perhaps your detective cap, and join me on a journey in dissecting dog behavior. More fun than it sounds!

Dog anxiety often leads to behaviors that results in frustration for pet parents, leading to surrender or euthanasia. There are a plethora of approaches to address it, so how do you choose the best one for you and your dog? Anxiety is an emotion, not a behavior. It is essential to apply a method that acknowledges emotions, taking an approach whereby we do not suppress the emotion, but rather, provides skills to regulate, process, and replace "harmful" emotions with positive ones. In this episode, I introduce Emotional Replacement Therapy. I address common changes that occur as we work our way through the program, and discuss "coping mechanisms" and "impulse control" Find all the episodes on Feedspot, where Dog Training DisrUPted is rated in the top 5 shows in the dog category in Canada: https://blog.feedspot.com/canadian_dog_podcasts/ For more info on Billie Groom and Canine CBT, and links to social media: Dog Training, Canine Behavior and Cognition (upwarddogology.com) My Linktree with all my media, presentations, shows, articles Billie Groom - UPWARD Dogology | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Here is the link to the recent article in Psychology Today Mag by Marc Bekoff on Canine CBT Dog Training: Perception, Cognition, and Emotions | Psychology Today Buy My Book!

I recently took two puppies in off a reserve and here is what I learned! By understating puppy training and braining , we can better understand how different methods are effective at different stages. Meet Jonesy and Jackson, 3 month old puppies who are very different from each other. How are methods adapted? Why is it important to view training as bonding and harnessing cognitive skills, as opposed to "tick the boxes". Referencing specific examples with these pups, this episode explores operant conditioning and Canine CBT.

In this episode, I read my scientific paper from my PhD course (Cognition, Emotion to Improve Animal Welfare - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences). No scientific knowledge or prep required. I discuss canine enrichment, street dogs, adolescent dogs, and the guardian-canine bond to bring to light the benefits of human-based approaches, such as Flow, Cognitive Enrichment, and CBT meet the needs of pet parents and dogs. ABSTRACT - "The aim of this paper is to highlight the connection between cognitive processes, affected states (primarily in relation to the guardian-canine bond), and behavior to explore the effects of these factors on the welfare of domestic dogs. I begin by presenting the proven benefits, as well as the limitations, of enrichment activities and training programs. I discuss the importance of stimulating cognitive functions and establishing the guardian-canine bond to prevent and address behaviors leading to surrender, euthanasia, and the implementation of aversive measures, and refer to studies to highlight the benefits of further research into factors affecting behavior. I then move beyond enrichment and the discussion of positive verses negative conditioning methods to introduce strategies borrowed from the human world to heighten cognitive stimulation, enhance bonding, and address behavioral issues as potential suggestions for future exploration to improve the welfare of domestic dogs."

Dog behaviors associated with aggression and anxiety are caused by many factors, of which cognitive dissonance is rarely discussed, yet has a profound impact, in particular with adolescent and adult dogs, while, perhaps surprisingly, upbringing is not a differentiating factor. This episode covers what it is, common signs/behaviors including examples, what NOT to do - and most importantly, why, and why CCBT is so effective in addressing behaviors stemming from cognitive dissonance. As always, I appreciate your support, questions, feedback. Please feel free to share to help other professionals, pet parents and dogs. If your dog is reactive, nervous, fearful, experiencing change in behavior, or acting unpredictable, I recommend this episode as a starting place. Links mentioned in episode.

David Roberts, Licensed Master Social Worker, is an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and has extensive personal experience, claiming "it played a major role in saving my life after my daughter died at the age of 18." Dave and I dive deep into what CBT is and use comparative examples in human and dog behavior and rehabilitation. We discuss the role of mindset, perception, habits, and cognitive appraisal in making decisions. We discuss the difference between CBT and Counter Conditioning, and why CBT is so effective with dogs in different life stages, as with humans. We discuss the benefits of methods not requiring the stimuli to be present or relying on rewards. This episode is sure to inspire, allowing you to see your dog's behavior in a new light. bootsyandangel@gmail.com Podcast - The Teaching Journeys Podcast | Podcast on Spotify Book: When The Psychology Professor Met The Minister: How the woman on the corner of Hunter and Whittier permanently transformed one academic’s worldview. eBook : Roberts, Dave, Furino, Patty: Amazon.ca: Kindle Store Big thanks to Open Strum for donating the music clips!

Fostering adolescent and adult dogs can be challenging. In this episode, I break down the goals and introduce the 7 step fostering program I have applied with hundreds of dogs and taught to dozens of fosters. Programs for pet parents are different than those of fostering - Why? Because the goal is different! Fostering is not about BEING the best home or addressing behavioral issues that are specific to the foster home, but rather, taking the steps to ensure a successful adoption into the best home for the dog. I use the example of a recent foster couple I helped with their challenging dog. Their goal to address behavioral issues specific to their home life complicated the process of providing the dog with the necessary skills to be happily homed. The UPWARD Dogology 7 step program keeps the goals in the forefront and the success rate high. In this episode, I review these steps, discussing why they are important, and how they eliminate the need for lengthy fostering periods and allow for an easy integration into their new home. Win-Win!

Welcome to Dog Training DisrUPted by UPWARD Dogology! Canine Enrichment is all the rage, especially in shelters and amongst behavioral experts. Yes, another trendy term that seems positive, but is it? Well, like most things, when used to divert from the real issue, or "sell" products and services by promoting them as something they are not, this can lead to frustration with tragic results. Once again, I present a candid, educational view to help you make the right decisions for you and your dog. There is no "one right way" to work with a dog, to train, or to pet parent. Know your options and make educated decisions. Thank you for your support and interest. And for all you do for the dogs.

Welcome to the final episode of 2022 - a not-so-typical year in review. It is time! You deserve to know why the dog behavioral experts are keeping the info from you. Why is the shelter system unaware of Canine CBT - or are they? Are behavioral veterinarians any more educated than your average trainer? Why are trainers scared to admit that methods are not meeting the needs of all the clients? This episode is, essentially, a year in review – with a twist. Have you wondered why the so-called industry experts do not know Canine CBT? Here is your answer! Find out what the industry experts are doing and how it affects you, your dog, and your industry related profession! BEFORE LISTENING: It is important to note two points: 1) the orgs or individuals mentioned in the episode are not required, responsible, or expected to accept, review, or evaluate CCBT. Equally, they do not hold the power or the right to assess, approve, disapprove, dismiss, or judge CCBT. The industry is non-regulated, which means there is no governing, regulatory body that is required, or available, to review and assess innovations. There is simply no process or organization, as with regulated industries, to do this. CCBT is scientifically proven by meeting the requirements to scientifically prove a methodology. 2) Dr. Nicolas Dodman runs a non-profit organization whose website states the mission is to research and perform studies to discover solutions to prevent behavioral euthanasia and surrender, which is why I reached out to him. During our conversation, he admitted to not knowing what the website stated, and that their goal is to increase donations via media and awareness. So, both these points will make more sense when you dive into the episode. I apologize for not including this info in the episode.

Cristina is a Veterinary Surgeon. Author. RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Dermatology. She shares with us her vast knowledge on senior dogs in respect to health issues, changes, and what to expect. This fun, casual conversation ventures into chatting about adopting mature dogs, and, well, just how great they are! I follow our chat by introducing the topic I spoke on at the Animal Behavior Society Conference 2022. You may have heard me say, multiple times, "There is no one right way to work with a dog," and in this episode I explain what I mean. Not only should the method match the reason for the behavior and the personality of the dog, but also, because of brain development in different life stages, some methods are simply more effective than others at different ages. Find out why! Thanks for your interest, and as always, feedback and questions are welcome.

Hello and thanks for joining me! I am guessing most of you are not proponents of methods that take a "dominance" approach. What does this really entail? And how is it different from Alpha and Pack Leader? There are common exercises in dominance training that may not seem as though they would have a negative effect, and, in fact, are part of mainstream dog training. Is going through a door first harmful or simply counterproductive? Can this routine lead to dominance, and will that achieve the goal of addressing unwanted behavior? How do dogs perceive these exercises and the theory of dominance? This episode raises some interesting thoughts on how mainstream dog training can, unintentionally, decrease the bond between you and your dog, and effect the success of your training routine. Or perhaps your dog simply thinks you are not very bright! I then provide some suggestions for exercises to try at home to improve the bond and increase your communication with your dog.

Welcome! In this episode I refer to the studies by Dr. Kathy Murphy, owner of Barking Brains, and a neuroscientist who specializes in brain development in respect to behaviors and the success (or lack there of) of training methods in different life stages. This episode focuses on the adolescent stage, describing brain development and how it effects behaviors. There are a lot of comparisons to teenagers! The adolescent stage is where I have devoted my three decades of study and work to, and where Canine CBT is particularly effective. Find out why based on neuroscience!

Welcome to Dog Training DisrUPted, by UPWARD Dogology This episode features animal lover, professional swimmer, writer, speaker, and creator of peace, Lynne Cox. Lynne's new book, Tales of Al, The Water Rescue Dog, is a heartwarming story about a dog expected to be an "easy train" by the elite Italian Water Rescue Dog Team. Lynne recounts her visit to Italy, meeting all the dogs, and sharing the story of Al, (well, not the end of the story!) Lynne is an American long-distance open-water swimmer, who is best known for being the first person to swim between the US and the Soviet Union in the Bering Strait, a feat which has been recognized for easing the Cold War tensions between Ronald Reagan and Soviet Leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. She still swims every morning, preferably with dogs, and she is such an inspiration for so many people. I have the utmost respect for Lynne. Following our chat, I talk about cognitive skills, and they are harnessed differently for different activities, and the importance of adapting to dog's personalities.

Leash walks can be frustrating when dogs are pulling, putting on the brakes, or lolly-gagging. Should you be expected to continuously turn around, or simply allow your dog to sniff everything? Should you be expected to have decompression walks that are really only decompressing for your dog? In this ep I talk about common recommendations, from continuously turning around, standing still, to allowing your dog to sniff and decide the direction (is this a technique?). I talk about different apparatuses designed to prevent pulling, and discuss some pros and cons of some popular ones. I make some suggestions of easy exercises to apply to gain greater focus (no, not treats or the look at me command), and provide suggestions as to how to apply these to your situation and daily life. Leash walking is all about having the skills to communicate and provide calm, clear direction. Your dog's perception of you and the environment determines his or her behavior. NOTE - this is not a training guide. The advice is to be adjusted to your needs and specific situation, and dog. NOTE - for dogs over six months of age For more links to social media, interviews, and press releases, pls visit my website.

Does your dog run to the door when you pick up your car keys? Or run to the door with the sound of your partner's car pulling? Or jump off the couch when you click off the tv? These are triggers that create habits - good habits! But what about habits our dogs have that are not what we perceive as "good" or "wanted". These habits lead to unwanted behavior, but mainstream dog training addresses these as "good vs bad behavior", using conditioning methods to change them, which can often fail. Canine CBT views all behaviors as driven by emotional intelligence and a self-perceived need to do a behavior to achieve a goal. The behavior becomes a habit based on cognitive skills. To change that behavior, we must change perception. My guest (or, more accurately, me as a guest on his podcast) , Ian Tolson, is an expert in habits - why we have them, how we can change them, and how they effect our behavior. This episode unfolded from a chat intended to be an episode for Ian's podcast, and turned into a chat on how habits form behaviors, and how we change these behaviors by changing perception. Is there much difference between humans and dogs in relation to cognitive skills, emotional intelligence, and behaviors stemming from these? Find out in this off-the-cuff chat. I follow this chat with exercises that change a dog's perception of you and your ability to calmly manage situations. Enjoy Your Learning Journey!

Welcome! Adopting a dog over the age of six months is rewarding and fun. When initially integrating dogs into a family, we can expect some challenges. As with humans, change in eating habits is a common reaction to stress caused by change in environment or physical ailments. When physically healthy dogs who are adapting well to their new environment refuse to eat, it can be scary and a bit of a mystery for many adopters. Fortunately, their are quick solutions grounded in logic, creativity, and the ability to think like a dog, as well as long-term solutions grounded in Canine CBT which address the root of the problem. As discussed in the conclusion, here are the links to a few of the many shows I am a featured guest on: Let's Find Out About Upward Dogology! - YouTube (the Science and Magic of the Human-Animal Bond hosted by Psycologist and filmmaker, Diane Soloman) Episode 55: Retrain your (and your dog’s) brain with canine CBT (dvm360.com) Hosted by Veterinarian and CEO of DVM 360, Dr. Adam Christman The Dog Connection Show, Season 6.

Welcome to the final episode of 2021! This episode was a challenge. So much happened in 2021 in relation to spreading awareness of Canine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, making connections, collaborating, and learning about the industry. I decided to share, in brief, the pitfalls of the industry, which, for those who listen other episodes, know all too well. Through the closed doors I received from influential orgs, I learned a lot about the underlying mechanics of the dog world, which, not surprisingly, function much like other industries - ego, greed and personal agendas rank high. I took this info and turned it into effective connections and collaborations. In this episode, I introduce you to changemakers whom you may not be aware of because, like myself, they do not follow the industry norm, and they are not afraid to make waves in the better interest of dogs and the people who love them. I wish you all the best in 2022 and, as always, I appreciate your support and all you do for the pets in your care. Enjoy Your Learning Journey.

Welcome! You are going to love this chat with Michael! Michael Overlie is a Canine-Partnered Coach, Energy Healer, and Author. Michael provides men with the tools to be not only a great dog-dad, but also the best human they can be, by changing their perceived need to be the tough guy, or use their dog as a status symbol. Amazingly, Michael accomplishes this in the most relaxed, holistic, and centered manner. I learned about Michael's mindset as we went through this most interesting chat. Trust me, he is like no one else you have met - come join us! Speaking of mindset....I follow the chat with a talk on how the mindset toward dogs is progressing (finally) toward communicating and bonding with dogs - essentially a more holistic approach. Is this possible while remaining within the realms of conventional training techniques? I refer to a trainer who, in an attempt to improve the adoption process, encourages "Boundaries" and "Discipline" in the early stages. As much as I promote interacting with a newly adopted dog, as opposed to doing essentially "nothing", instilling boundaries and discipline is not the direction we want to go with dogs over 6 months.
