Kim Toepfer, and Lynne Bell join forces to bark about their biggest passion in life - dogs, behavior, and the training industry. With over 70 years of professional training experience between them, they have witnessed first-hand the extent of the industry's evolution and growth and are here to share their experiences, training tips, and how to level up your career as a dog trainer!
Modern science in dog training tends to focus more on comparative psychology - aka, comparing animals behavior in a lab/study environment vs the natural environment. Additionally, dog trainers compare dog training to the training of exotic animals.
In this episode, we cover:
What comparative psychology and ethology means
The experiments conducted and how they work
The reality behind the science in dog training
The difference between exotics and dogs - namely, in cooperative care
Looking at the dog in the natural habitat, not in a laboratory setting.
