It has been a while since the last episode....but that does not mean we have not been doing anything! No, this is not a catch-up episode that goes over everything we, at the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy, have been doing, but... it certainly makes a great segway into this episode. The new trend in "dog training" - Do Nothing! Where did this come from and what does it look like in practice? And if humans can (or cannot) "do nothing", is this beneficial for our dogs? Would our dogs do the same? Can dogs "do nothing"? Well, dogs actually are doing something when they are doing nothing... at least when we recognize and encourage (not simply "allow") processing and decision-making.  Let's do something about doing nothing....

Many of you may have heard me talk about the impact of brain development on behavior in different life stages (if not, check out my TEDX Talk - link below).   Well, dopamine is in all of us - do you know it is intricately connected with "rewards"?   And CBT is intricately connected to dopamine. Are we seeing a symbiotic relationship?   Check out this episode where we get the dope on dopamine.

Welcome! What is Peer Review and is it important? If so, in what way does it impact you, your dog, and your knowledge?  Peer Review is a complicated topic, so let's break it down.  Whether you are a professional in the industry, or in academia, or a pet parent, this quick overview may change the way you feel about "science."  My TEDX Talk is live!  Beyond Dog Training: The Movement Toward Sentience https://youtu.be/avUugazybwc Find all the episodes on Feedspot, where Dog Training DisrUPted is rated in the top 5 shows in the dog category in Canada:  https://blog.feedspot.com/canadian_dog_podcasts/ To become a certified Canine CBT Psychotherapist, and for courses on related topics, please visit the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy. www.instituteofcaninepsychotherapy.com Become a Certified Canine Behaviorist and Dog Trainer My Linktree with all my media, presentations, shows, articles Billie Groom - UPWARD Dogology | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Here is the link to the recent article in Psychology Today Mag by Marc Bekoff on Canine CBT Dog Training: Perception, Cognition, and Emotions | Psychology Today Buy My Book!

Welcome!  What is the difference between online training and virtual training? Can practitioners REALLY provide guidance, advice and effective training virtually? This episode provides dives into what you need to know to make an educated and ethical decision as a pet parent and a professional.  This episode opens with a somewhat-short-report of what has been happening in the world of Billie, CBT and Animal Welfare.

Welcome!  (oops again on the music - my apologies!) The concept of "Sentience" seems simplistic - animals have emotions. Now what? Why is it important to us, as pet parents, dog professionals, and animal experts, to ensure dogs are treated as sentient beings? How do we employ strategies that allow dogs to mentally and emotionally flourish? Are choice, options, and canine enrichment enough? Be Part of the Solution!

Welcome! First off!  I apologize for the dead air space, I am using a different recording platform that apparently does not like my taste in music :-)  And, as you cat lovers can relate to, I had to attend to my cat's needs. :-)  This episode explores the term "Treat Motivated" referencing common scientific studies to determine what this really means and if the focus on treat motivation means the study is missing some very important information about our dogs! Secondly, I use the example of a client of a student in the CCBT Diploma Program at the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy to discuss the challenges in using Conditioning Methods with dogs that are not "treat motivated" And, finally, is "treat motivated" an advantage when adopting a dog? Be sure to check out www.instituteofcaninepsychotherapy.com for info!  Our students are making waves in the canine behavioral and welfare sectors!

Welcome to the final episode of 2024!   2025 is becoming the year to not simply demand more from industry leaders that have no interest in providing more, but rather, finding those solutions, stepping outside the comfort zone and putting one's own goals first!   Does this sound selfish?  Pet professionals cannot succeed in this industry by following mainstream, pleasing the industry, remaining loyal to leaders who are more concerned with their own success than that of dog trainers.  Continuing to divide the industry and blaming pet parents  drives away progress.  Pet parents, having an allegiance only to their dog, family, and community expect more from their trainers, and pet professionals need to provide the solutions.  When pet professionals empower themselves, they are better equipped to educate pet parents, and, in turn, the needs of dogs are met.   The launch of the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy is much more than the launching of a one-of-a-kind institute - it represents the movement toward positioning pet parents and forward-thinking, brave, dog trainers as leaders in the canine behavior and animal welfare realms. Empower Yourself to Make An Impact.   We invite you to research our courses, including our flagship diploma program.

Welcome! Anxiety is not a singular behavioral condition, nor does it have a "tick the box" solution. In this episode, I explore Misophonia – a condition that creates a strong negative reaction when hearing triggering sounds. I am using this specific example to show the importance of studying "human" conditions leading to behaviors associated with anxiety. By studying the symptoms, causes, cures, and statistics of these conditions, we can advance our understanding of canine anxiety and how to effectively address the specific form of anxiety as it pertains to the individual dog.

In late 2019, I was contacted by a man whose story completely changed my mindset and brought clarity (ah-ha moment that lasted years) of who I am and why I am so compelled to ensure all dogs are treated as individuals, with dignity and respect, and that people have access to the skills and tools to make previously traumatized and unwanted dogs feel comfortable, loved, understood, and welcome.  Close to this time, I was contacted by another man who enlightened me on my method, thus changing my professional direction and positioning. These two life and career changing events profoundly impacted me as a person and the influence of CCBT in the animal welfare industry.  These stories have only been revealed twice - embedded into other shows, and never as stories unto themselves and on this level. These stories continue to impact me, as I continue to absorb and process the information.  I appreciate your interest and genuine desire to help animals.  As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns, and, if you like the episode, please share and/or provide a rating and review.

Welcome to Dog Training DisrUPted.  Do you get overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting suggestions and advise?  You are not alone!  Surprisingly, many of those approaches may be effective, and many ineffective - why?  Many methods assess behaviors and then implement solutions to address the behavior. CCBT analyzes the situation, determining the reason for the dog's behaivor, based on the goal and thought processes.  This episode explores one situation (a dog growling) in four different scenerios,  Based on the information we gather, we can determine the reason for the behavior - which is different in each situation, which is important in determining the platform exercises we develop.   Put on your thinking cap, or perhaps your detective cap, and join me on a journey in dissecting dog behavior.  More fun than it sounds!

Dog anxiety often leads to behaviors that results in frustration for pet parents, leading to surrender or euthanasia. There are a plethora of approaches to address it, so how do you choose the best one for you and your dog?   Anxiety is an emotion, not a behavior.  It is essential to apply a method that acknowledges emotions, taking an approach whereby we do not suppress the emotion, but rather, provides skills to regulate, process, and replace "harmful" emotions with positive ones.  In this episode, I introduce Emotional Replacement Therapy. I address common changes that occur as we work our way through the program, and discuss "coping mechanisms" and "impulse control" My TEDX Talk is live!  Beyond Dog Training: The Movement Toward Sentience https://youtu.be/avUugazybwc Find all the episodes on Feedspot, where Dog Training DisrUPted is rated in the top 5 shows in the dog category in Canada:  https://blog.feedspot.com/canadian_dog_podcasts/ To become a certified Canine CBT Psychotherapist, and for courses on related topics, please visit the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy. www.instituteofcaninepsychotherapy.com Become a Certified Canine Behaviorist and Dog Trainer My Linktree with all my media, presentations, shows, articles Billie Groom - UPWARD Dogology | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Here is the link to the recent article in Psychology Today Mag by Marc Bekoff on Canine CBT Dog Training: Perception, Cognition, and Emotions | Psychology Today Buy My Book!

I recently took two puppies in off a reserve and here is what I learned!   By understating puppy training and braining , we can better understand how different methods are effective at different stages. Meet Jonesy and Jackson, 3 month old puppies who are very different from each other. How are methods adapted? Why is it important to view training as bonding and harnessing cognitive skills, as opposed to "tick the boxes".   Referencing specific examples with these pups,  this episode explores operant conditioning and Canine CBT.  My TEDX Talk is live!  Beyond Dog Training: The Movement Toward Sentience https://youtu.be/avUugazybwc Find all the episodes on Feedspot, where Dog Training DisrUPted is rated in the top 5 shows in the dog category in Canada:  https://blog.feedspot.com/canadian_dog_podcasts/ To become a certified Canine CBT Psychotherapist, and for courses on related topics, please visit the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy. www.instituteofcaninepsychotherapy.com Become a Certified Canine Behaviorist and Dog Trainer My Linktree with all my media, presentations, shows, articles Billie Groom - UPWARD Dogology | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Here is the link to the recent article in Psychology Today Mag by Marc Bekoff on Canine CBT Dog Training: Perception, Cognition, and Emotions | Psychology Today Buy My Book!

In this episode, I read my scientific paper from my PhD course (Cognition, Emotion to Improve Animal Welfare - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences). No scientific knowledge or prep required. I discuss canine enrichment, street dogs, adolescent dogs, and the guardian-canine bond to bring to light the benefits of human-based approaches, such as Flow, Cognitive Enrichment, and CBT meet the needs of pet parents and dogs.  ABSTRACT - "The aim of this paper is to highlight the connection between cognitive processes, affected states (primarily in relation to the guardian-canine bond), and behavior to explore the effects of these factors on the welfare of domestic dogs. I begin by presenting the proven benefits, as well as the limitations, of enrichment activities and training programs. I discuss the importance of stimulating cognitive functions and establishing the guardian-canine bond to prevent and address behaviors leading to surrender, euthanasia, and the implementation of aversive measures, and refer to studies to highlight the benefits of further research into factors affecting behavior. I then move beyond enrichment and the discussion of positive verses negative conditioning methods to introduce strategies borrowed from the human world to heighten cognitive stimulation, enhance bonding, and address behavioral issues as potential suggestions for future exploration to improve the welfare of domestic dogs."
