I wanted to try my hand at creating a video on an intriguing topic I ran into recently, “The Third Wave of Dog Domestication", and practice before I film some of the more exciting videos I have planned. Tell me what you think!
Your Dog’s Evolution Isn’t Over (Here’s Why)

This might be my favorite one. I try to remind people all the time that sports are often more for us than them! Great mindset :)
Can’t stop a truffle dog from trying 😉
How else are they gonna roll in that spot that smells like dead animals?!
I don’t care if my dogs jump up on me 🤷♂️
We listen and we don’t judge…Dog Behavior Edition
Agree! Sticking to (and safely expanding) your competencies is critical!
What an interesting paper! Super interested to look into this
Hi Mabel! What a cutie
If you see this, tell me a fact you love about dogs, or ask a question about dog’s you’d love to find an answer to!

Love the motto! Dogs deserve better!!!!
Remember! “Bad” is NOT a useful adjective when applied to behavior. Behavior itself isn’t inherently good or bad - it’s simply a form of communication. It’s really our responsibility to guide our dogs by teaching them the behaviors we’d like to see!
This is so cool!
Crust all day!
Shh! No, don’t tell everyone 🤫
Absolutely, pain is such an overlooked factor! And good call on the aversive potential of so-called reinforcers. A lot of this comes back again to body language awareness, too!
So sad, and so preventable :(
Love it, I always say "your dog is doing the best with the information that YOU’RE giving them!"
Communication is definitely a two way street
Number 5 is so good 🙏
I agree with the sentiment, strict ideology is not ideal. I don’t agree that FF trainers are more rigid, though, but I appreciate your input!
I’m curious what strategies are used by balance trainers that you find to be useful than force free trainers don’t use!
Who can help but adore a Beagle 🥰
What are the biggest changes you expect or would like to see in the fields of dog training/behavior and welfare over the next 10 years? A larger general knowledge of body language and a dog’s level of comfort and consent being accounted for are my big hope!

I’m obsessed with dogs noses! So cool!
I have a masters degree in Mechanical Engineering and I praise Khan Academy to this day for its help! Also think about coding platforms and challenges, like LeetCode
So cool 🤯
Dogs are amazing. We’ve coevolved with dogs longer than we’ve had beer! And beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy (true statement, but falsely attributed Ben Franklin quote). Isn’t that amazing!
Fun Fact Friday: Dog nerds, did you know that just like human fingerprints, each dog has a unique nose print!
