355. Adolescence, Biting and Dog Sports w/Steph Welch KPA- CTP

 Steph Welch KPA-CTP joins me to talk about all things training her dogs Moxie and Monty.

We talk about the challenges of raising an adolescent dog, how Malinois's typically express most of their emotions through their mouth and are not a breed for the faint of heart. We dive into the nuance of why dogs use their mouth and how all bites are not the same. We also talk about dog sports including agility, dock diving and Schutzhund.

Steph shares the challenges of being a +R trainer in a dog sport that relies so heavily on punishment, aversive tools and corrections.
