Admin Note: Hi All! Sorry we've been incommunicado. We've been out of touch because Canine Campus is in the process moving to a new, larger facility in Charlottesville that is more tailored to our clients needs. Unfortunately, as we move this week there has been some confusion with the phone company and we are in the process of getting the phone reconnected. If you are trying to call, we hope to have the issue resolved early this coming week. Our phone number will remain the same after the move (434-973-1050), but we did just get an invite to Google Voice, so after this little incident, we'll see what happens ;-)
Our new shop is located on Concord Avenue next to Pampered Pets - hoping to post some pics soon! Click Here for directions and new contact info.

"Leave it" is a command that is essential to protecting your dog from environmental hazards and an important part of many therapy dog evaluations. We spend the second half of the show discussing this cue in the context of other behaviors, and start out with a big bag of listener mail, including: More info on event markers, feedback on our discussions on punishment, how to keep training fun for easily bored dogs, the Magic of Meatballs (easier than you think), dealing with loss in the pack.

Learn all about "pecking order" and where we get our beliefs and theories of alphas, pack leaders, and dominance. After the history, we get to the current science, and wrap up our three-part series on unwanted behavior, punishment, and the current science that can help us deal more effectively with these often misunderstood (and misused) concepts. All this and a big stack of listener mail! Show Notes and Links: Thorleif Schjelderup-Ebbe and "Pecking Order" on Wikipedia Wolf Expert L.

In our last episode, we discussed methods consistent with a "positive" training approach for eliminating unwanted behaviors. This week, we talk about punishment, the negative effects it can have on your training agenda, and the official position statement from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) on Punishment.
All that, and we answer a BUNCH of viewer mail and calls!

Positive reinforcement training teaches behaviors and decision making skills, but how do we deal with unwanted behaviors? This show demonstrates techniques for indicating a behavior is undesirable without resorting to positive punishment, especially in light of a recent study from the University of Pennsylvania indicating that dog owners who use confrontational or aversive methods to train aggressive pets will continue to experience, and perhaps even increase aggressive behavior, unless training techniques are modified.

Atlanta Copywriter and Videographer Dan Goldgeier stops by to talk about his work with the Animal Rescue League of Northwest Georgia and how they are using Facebook, YouTube, and other new media tools to help facilitate and increase adoptions from their facility. Dan gives great tips on how they do it, including how to tell the story, pre-production planning, and even a few tips on how to use the camera.
