Episode The Reason You’re Already on Your Third Dog Trainer | Dog Behavior
Have you already paid two or three trainers and your dog still isn’t any better?
Every switch costs money, but it also costs time, and with serious behavior problems, time is the one thing you can’t buy back. Social media has made it easier than ever to find a trainer and harder than ever to tell who actually has the experience to help. This conversation with Josh Taylor, a trainer who spent 17 years as a corporate investigator before working with thousands of dogs, gets into how to vet a trainer, why seeing a behavior matters before trying to fix it, and the hard conversations around behavioral euthanasia.
You’ll hear:
• How a career interrogating people taught Josh to read the stress signals dogs give off • The red flags to watch for when picking a trainer online, plus one question that exposes the ones without a backup plan • The case that still stays with him, and what it taught him about how a trainer delivers hope • Why the gap between saving a dog and losing one often comes down to how early you get the right help
Press play if you’re tired of starting over with yet another trainer.
