Today’s live I covered a lot… I talked about crossing Barbados sheep with Dorper—a great combo! Sometimes the cross is better than either parent. Then I shifted to what it means to admin a Facebook group. When do you allow unkind comments? What if they’re true? And that doodle hate? It’s gross. I talked about that a lot. Being mean just because the group agrees doesn’t make it okay. Not in the dog world. Not anywhere.

Just a quick update on a few things I’ve mentioned lately in lives…

How did all three dogs respond to the electric fence now that we’re back on the property and the fence is back up?

What was going on with Xen and his sudden crate/garage escaping drama — and why it’s over now.

And probably most important… what do we really mean when we say “rule out medical causes” before jumping into a training plan? Because it matters.

Separation anxiety? Crate anxiety? Fear of missing out? Something else related but… Not even quite sure what it might be?

Here I talk about my dogs, Ice and Xen. Different dogs with different issues, but the same way of thinking about problem-solving… If that interests you, take a listen.

Being a positive reinforcement extremist has nothing to do with how you train dogs.

It’s about how you treat people.

This live dives into how R+ has evolved beyond training methods—shaping how we engage, communicate, and show up in the dog training community.
