Summary: It would be great if positive training and behavioral science made everything perfect and wonderful with dogs. Most of the time, it does exactly that by providing a way to communicate effectively with our dogs. But sometimes things can break down. Eric Brad shares a story of a frightened dog that needed more than food treats and positive reinforcement. The drastic change in a dog’s behavior can be confusing, frightening, and can make you feel like a failure as a trainer. But it’s not always a purely behavioral issue. This series of podcasts explores what happened with Tiramisu, one such dog, and what was done to unravel the mystery of her behavior change. The next podcast in the series discusses what has been done thus far for her rehabilitation.
