  • In this episode of the Robotic Dog Podcast, hosted by dog trainer Brittney Howard, the focus is on the concept of control in human and dog relationships. Brittney emphasizes the importance of moving away from a controlling approach in training, relationships, and life itself. She shares insights from a TV show business conference where mentor Stephanie Odea introduced the idea of following the pull instead of the push in life, suggesting that one should go towards what naturally attracts them. Brittany applies this philosophy to dog training, arguing against the forceful correction of dogs and in favor of creating circumstances that encourage dogs to follow willingly. She discusses her preference for using retractable leashes and prong collars for training, aiming to create a positive and desirable attitude in dogs towards their owners. Brittany also touches upon her personal experiences and the overall ease of dog training when approached correctly, urging listeners to engage with the podcast and share their own dog training journeys.

    Dog Training Advice: Dealing With Growling and Improving Recall

    After a two-year gap, Brittney returns with an episode aimed to help a listener named Haley, who is experiencing problems with her mixed breed dog, Hutch. Hutch has been growling at Haley's little brother and is struggling with recall, responding only when treats are offered. The host suggests understanding and acknowledging that most dogs are opportunistic and understanding this can assist in effective training. Haley is also advised to seek help on YouTube and from professional trainers for corrective measures. Regarding the growling issue, the host suggested understanding the relationship between Hutch and her brother and avoid off-leash encounters until the situation is managed. For recall training, she recommends a frequent practice regime, using his food as a treat, calling him regularly and rewarding him as soon as he turns back.

  • Your dog is never trained. Ever. Got that? It's a constant struggle and triumph!! Never quit. Never never never!

    In this podcast, Brittney discusses her recent personal life events and then delves into dog training. She emphasizes that training a dog is not a finite process with a specific end goal, but a continuous journey because dogs are living creatures who make their own choices. The key, she asserts, is the amount of time and effort the owner is willing to put in, not how long it takes to train the dog. Brittney also advises listeners to fully utilize their trainers by asking questions and having them critique their at-home training sessions, and reminds them that training doesn't stop with the trainer but should be continued at home.

  • It's your dog a Velcro dog? You can actually be doing more harm than good by allowing your dog to be a stage 5 clinger.

    Brittney talks about the importance of setting boundaries and training dogs to respect their owner's personal space. The host emphasizes that treating dogs exactly like humans can lead to behavioral problems. Dogs should be trained to be more independent and not overly reliant or intrusive on their owners. The host also provides practical tips on how to establish these boundaries including giving commands to discourage dogs from following them everywhere, kicking dogs out of the kitchen and stopping them from sleeping on the bed. Brittney stresses the idea of giving dogs rules to help them become better, while stressing the role of owners in implementing these rules.

    Littermate Syndrome and Managing More than One Dog in a Household

    In this episode of the The Robotic Dog podcast, Brittney discusses the complexities of raising two puppies from the same litter, known as 'littermate syndrome', and the challenges that come with managing two dogs in a household.

The podcast also tackles the topic of introducing a new pet to an existing dog by slowly conditioning them to each other's presence.

  • How to get your dog not so dependent on needing a reward.?We still give it. But about 20-30% of the time.

    In this episode of the Robotic Dog Podcast, Brittney discusses the importance of reward systems in dog training. They stress how dependent dogs can become on rewards and suggests strategies for moving towards less reward-dependent training. These include mixing up the rewards, gradually reducing the frequency, and incorporating verbal and physical praise alongside motivational items such as food and toys. She also emphasizes on the need to hold dogs accountable for their behavior and to ensure they're trained to follow commands without always expecting rewards. The episode ends with an invitation for listener questions and concludes with the upcoming Friday schedule.

  • Timing for dog training is everything, listen to the words we use to communicate with our dogs so they understand what we want. We also use clickers for precise replicated sounds.

    In this episode, Brittney from Dawg Boss gives advice on Clear Signals Training (CST), emphasizing the importance of timing when training dogs. She delves into commonly used words and phrases, such as 'good', 'no', and 'wait', to coordinate actions. Highlighting two types of clicker training (pay in place and active release), Brittney explains that striking the right balance between these styles ensures the dog is neither 'sticky' nor tempted to break command. Mistimed rewards can lead to delays and decreased enthusiasm in the dogs during training.

  • Is your dog an anxious wreck? Does your dog struggle to exist in daily life ?! It is possible to get him out of it!

    In this episode, Brittney from Dawg Boss K9 Training discusses the serious issue of anxiety in dogs. She underlines how detrimental it can be; from extreme cases where dogs can't be kenneled and wreak havoc at home, to the smaller signs hinting at a dog's discomfort. Brittney highlights that these anxieties often begin from puppyhood due to never holding the dog accountable for things. These problems can escalate, manifesting as aggressive behavior or unusual physical responses. The solution, as Brittney explains, involves laying the foundations with obedience training and teaching the dog to understand 'no'. She also points out the importance of not reinforcing anxious behavior with petting, emphasizing it’s better to ignore it. The aim is to make the dog comfortable with discomfort, to build confidence. She mentions a successful case involving a very anxious dog who used to lean on his owner for security. Brittany concludes with a promise of more detailed training videos on their YouTube channel.

Brittney highlights the need for constant supervision, an exercise pen, and patience during the training phase.
