It would be great if positive training and behavioural 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 behaviour can be confusing, frightening, and can make you feel like a failure as a trainer. But it’s not always a purely behavioural issue. This series of podcasts explores what happened with Tiramisu, one such dog, and what was done to unravel the mystery of her behaviour change. The next podcast in the series discusses what has been done thus far for her rehabilitation.
A transcript of the main text of A Broken Dog – Part 1 (Breaking Down) is available at the Life As A Human online magazine website. You can visit Life as a Human to find this and other articles.
