Podcast Ep. 1 | Dog Psychology vs. Human Psychology (Natural Dog Behavior) 

This is an awesome channel! I literally got a young pup off the streets. Vaccinated him and he gets two walks a day and travels everywhere I go. I’ll use this channel as a “go to” to educate myself as a new dog dad 👍🏼

around the 17/18 minute mark they talk about happiness is still there for the dog when you lessen the excitement - i TOTALLY agree just based on my own experience of those emotions. For me if someone can calm me down when im happy & overly excited, it's the best feeling instead of my energy jumping all over the place out of my control. I enjoy the happiness in a way that feels safer, I imagine the dog can appreciate it too. I learn a lot from this!

Thank you for the episode! I currently live in Thailand and rescued a dog, who was someone's dog for several years (ever since he was a puppy) then the family left for their home country and threw him out on the street. He needed to learn how to survive and communicate with street dogs. Now, when I got him, I learned that he is male dog reactive. And I am so happy that you mentioned Thailand and other countries, where a dog's behavior is different but also people's expectations of a dog are different. Now, since there is a lack of quality trainers on the island where I live (none really), I have to educate myself and see how I can help my dog with boundaries. So podcasts like yours are definitely helpful!

Something about Josh's delivery I really like. I know they both really care about animals but I can tell he really really does.

Josh has the best voice ever omg

This is the conversation I have been longing for

Awesome podcast guys . What a great energy you both have. I'm looking forward to more podcasts.

So glad I found your podcast, the first episode has me reassessing and learning so much already. My partner and I adopted a 3 year old rescue staffy x mastiff just this week. I am really looking forward to watching your podcasts and learning how to help her be comfortable in our space, thank you!

I'm a farrier and my dog (or dogs) come to work with me, so I spend a lot of time in them. I have always had a fascination with how dogs see the world and how that can help with my bond with them. I expect my dogs to behave, but I am a partner with my dogs not a dictator. The vast majority of the videos I've seen online completely misunderstand dogs, usually because of looking through an anthropomorphism lens. After listening to your video I believe you have a lot of balance and understanding of how to have a healthy and rewarding relationship with man's best friend. Thanks for the post I enjoyed it. It is refreshing to see others that put our relationship with dogs in the right perspective.

Great talk. Very easy to follow and enlightening! I hope you both put out more on dog training, behaviour, and body language !

I am so so glad I found this channel. As a new puppy owner (after having small dogs as a child), I just was not getting anywhere with other RU-vid Training videos. My mini schnauzer of 6 months was aggressive and my husband was increasingly uneasy about keeping her while caring for a newborn. Not only do I feel like I learned a lot in 42 minutes, I have already made gains intuitively in our relationship. Automatic subscribe, thank you so much while I binge the rest!

Really excited this is here. I have three dogs (blended dog family with my fience) and its been really difficult with 2 under the age of 2 and one over 8. This is really helpful so thank you!

Just love your perspective on dog training ❤️ looking forward to see more of your episodes 😊

Brilliant analogies between dogs and humans ... makes so much sense. I'm a frustrated chihuahua and cavoodle owner. My little Chilli Chihuahua is awesome but doesn't always listen and is 2 years old and we've recently introduced a Cavoodle puppy 8 months old who just chews everything and is a quick learner but it's so over excited and is stressing out our little Chilli. I'm looking forward to getting some tips to calm all this down.

"... Oh hi, you have a husband too? Can I pet your husband, he's so cute, may I give him a treat?" I just found these podcasts. I'm always looking for new techniques and philosophies. You don't just download "Training" as an app on your dog. I have to work with him/her. I need to discover how each dog I train thinks and best learns.

Very informative and a look into the way y'all care about dogs. I have a dog that I am trying to understand. Can't wait to see more.

@Dog Psychology...you guys are awesome. I realize that the humans, (really referring to myself tbh) are the problem when it comes on to human dog relationship, though at the same time we are the potential solution. Don't know if you guys have made a vide specifically pertaining to how to react to dogs behaviour and around them to build that level of understanding between both pet and owner, but I would like some deep knowledge on. I remember saying something pertaining to he doesn't train the dog. He trains the human😂. I felt that one. Thanks much for the video. God bless

Brilliant. Thank you. I am happy to have landed here.

This was 40min well spent, theres always so much to learn. Dogs teach us alot about ourselves.

PAWSITIVELY GREAT ! thank you

Wow this is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Thank you

I enjoyed listening very much & I live in England, Surrey just 15miles from central London , I have a very obedient 2 1/2 year old male Saluki, any time tou read about his breed it's always said never let a Saluki off the lead unless your in an inclosed area, well im proud to say my boy is only on the lead if im going near busy roads . We are lucky to live with many woods,commons, I believe the secret of having a great bond with your dog is plenty of exercise and different routes everyday, he could be playing with a dog his met on the common but, if I say ok its time " Leave him/ her now & a little Whistle he's right with me the only thing he won't come back if he's chasing squirrels but that's his DNA kicking in and not much I can do about that. I also had my volume as high as it would go and your audio is very quiet . Looking forward to hearing from you both again thank you 🙏👍🐾🐾🐾🐾

thank you for this podcast. it was very helpful. you guys are doing a great job.

we just got our first ever puppy and want to train him correctly, thank you for your guidance!

Angie, love you shirt!!! This video opened my mind like you can’t imagine. Thank you for taking the time to explain your philosophy on dogs. I hope you make a second part to this video. You are doing a great deal not only for dogs but for the humans that look after them. ❤.

I have a puppy, first time with a puppy hes 8 months and been with me about a month. Im learning how to train him. Hes so good. He sits and waits for me to give him the "go" to get his dinner. He looks at me and waits!❤❤ such a good and smart boy! (Ps i never make him wait long! Lol)

Watched the whole thing. Would love to watch more

Love this.

They summed it up at the beginning, that dogs can't think in words and always live in the moment! That's bloody hilarious!!

I have a 8 month old chocolate lab named Margret. I was looking for something that would help me understand what she’s thinking or how she things... this was way more than I could of ever expected to find! What an amazing video for all dog owners who truly want to understand their dog and help them have the best life possible! So in love with all the info in the video! Sharing it with family members ❤️

You guys have nailed so many points I've tried to convey, a lot of the same analogies I've used. Exactly on the head with your descriptions on generating rapport by participating in the conversation just long enough than pressure off. Pressure off is important and may drop dopamine and de-escalates. The humans who stare down or make a gesture or strange mouth noise only serve to excite! Than you get a run away in the "Game Theory" tit for tat. Dog Tit, you Tat back, than go back to Nash equilibrium. It's communication. Be honest but gentle. I don't like that, thank you for listening.

The info is there. The delivery is brutal.

Listening to you. How to deal with aggression. It is with something new to them. Could be food or toys or something they shouldn’t have

fantastic

Loving this podcast so much! Awesome content. You should let your guests finish speaking, other than that its perfect 😄

I loved this video always wanted to have a dog

Great overview and I can tell you have a true understanding of dogs. Lots of useful analogies for those of us who aren't so well-spoken to pull from. Audio could be better.

AMAZING INFORMATION!! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK.

I'm training to be a. trainer so I need this 🐾🐾🐾

Hey thanks 😮‍💨

That shirt she has on is powerful. Love it 🔥🥇🥇🥇💯

Great video! I really enjoyed it! Does your channel have any videos related to “training without adrenaline”? I would like to learn more about it! I couldn’t find any videos on your channel, or on RU-vid as a whole. If either have a video, or have resources related to this topic, would you please share them! Thank you for the informative video! ☺️

Hi. just found you guys. We have a day care business. it's hot here in phoenix. We created an indoor space with outdoor feel. We have urban farm in winter. Love all the help .insight we learn from you guys. Thank you

I love What you're doing my dog is taught me so much. 💘

This so helpful for us veterinary technicians when working with anxious or fractious patients at the animal hospitals!

Very good and easy to follow podcast! I do agree the audio is to soft.

YES ! Thank you for reinforcing my belief in doing exactly what I have been doing... ..but with all the Positive only and force free trainers flooding the media and the amount of Dogs / owners needing our services proving that Balanced family / pack life is a way of life...if we provide a balanced way of life the dogs fall into place, even without any real effort. We all need a balance , structure, Rules , responsibilities , a Job , a place that is valued by all our family / pack members.Great solid honest interview.

Deep.

Just found this pod and loved it. My question is is it possible for a puppy to be badly influenced by an older dog in terms of house training.?

Hi guys, Very interesting Pod cast. Nice to hear some Science as opposed to RU-vid Fluff!! Not sure if you have read any of these but if you havent you really should. Steven R Lindsay has a 3 book Series on Canine Psychology you may find challenging given the pure Science and Psychology covered. (just about everyone that reads these books struggles). 1. Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training, Volume 1 - Adaptation and Learning 2. Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training, Volume 2 - Etiology and Assessment of Behavior Problems 3. Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training, Volume 3 - Procedures and Protocols As a Trainer I have developed a training Model Called "Adaptive Foundation Learning" which you may find interesting. We should talk at some stage. Kind Regards, JCB

I just got a new toy fox terrier and your advice is super helpful to understanding why my puppy does what he does. I am trying to get him to like me :/

I have a pitbull pup she is about 14 weeks old, I walk her about 2 to 3 times a day. I am trying to train her to walk with me and not all over the place. The problem in have is getting her to pay attention to me.

The carol baskins of dogs. Fantastic opening. I expect your channel will be very helpful.

3:55 what I’m really interested in here is the communication barrier between human and dog

A problem I've always had is keeping up with the dogs mind. They react so quickly that it's hard to catch their ques on time. When they comply, sometimes it's hard to be fast enough to acknowledge the good behavior because it's almost instant, and then they are moving into expecting the next command. I try to get them to learn to hold that command and wait until I tell them what to do first. I'm a little confused about the command and release concept, and when the time is right for the reward because they are so fast at moving from on thing to the next. Their brains are faster than mine.😂

Awesome 👍 I'm trying to learn to understand my dog 🐕 She is so very smart but do dumb things at the same time

Great incite. I could gush over your understanding or concepts but I won’t. I’ll drop a nugget though. Are you aware of the Buddhist approach to compassionate or validating behavior? They feel like we as individuals are responsible to find our own happiness . We become what makes us happiest. So, my point is, they don’t coddle or validate as we do because they feel it contaminates or corrupts an important process of growth. Provides a false approval .

Came for the dog training. Stayed for the philosophical dissertation.

Nose ears eyes

💜🙏🏼🐾🐾

Never trained my animals and they do exactly what I want them to do never need a leash for any of them because if I have a dog that needs a leash I don't want that dog These animals do not have conceptual thought like we do You people know exactly what you're talking about

How much more do you need

I don't know what to believe from the dog psychology proponents. I have had anywhere between 2 and 8 dogs at any one time over the past 20 years and have NEVER had to worry about their behavior ever and without training and without setting boundaries for them. For the past 11 years I have lived on a fenceless property of 5 acres and my dogs never leave the property. They always want to be by my side and I have never made them have to respect me. I call my philosophy of how I manage my dog family as free-dogging it! I let them be dogs in every respect and they just "choose" to behave. I never raise my voice to them. I rarely have to tell them no. When people turn up to my home, there is not a single bark nor a single step of unwanted behavior. They accept that someone has turned up and they even go up to the person to greet them and do so in a very gentle manner. I am fortunate that I live in the country so all my walks are off leash. I let them be dogs for the entire time on those walks. We also walk past properties with other dogs and my dogs just ignore them and keep walking. So I don't know about everyone's take on how to treat dogs and how to make them behave. I find that they just learn as they go about what is and what isn't appropriate behavior. When we first adopted our little Boston Terrier who was very attached to me, it was my German Shepherd at the time who taught her to NOT chase my car when I left.

Dogs speak with their eyes

I love my rescue dog but she hates my husband 🥺😞My vet recommended you/ behaviorists

Be dominant but extremely calm in the good positive energy.

Maybe next time get speakers to talk into. I found it very hard to hear when on loud.

Aha!Thanks for the video(*_*)

Bruce Lee, Goldy locks... Figure out what they have in common and apply it to life

I can’t hear

A lot of people forget dogs have to learn behaviour that's ok around dogs ok around people and figure out way Thier person yelling at them why them when the person aggressively packing away the rubbish the dog ripped up

she never let him talk

El batata

We talk about dog behavior in human terms because we do not speak "dog." Dog behavior is in its DNA: Security, roam, a pack member, procreate. 90% of dog behavior is based on these factors. I allowed 10% for "goofy" because it doesn't fit.

I can’t imagine asking a stranger if I could pet their dog, I would feel like a weirdo and an idiot.

Bagama

Dogs have no frontal lobe?!??! Yes they absolutely do!

Every time I passed by neighborhoods on my bike and mind my own business doing yard work jobs, dogs never leave me alone and harass me with their loud barking, especially when I am doing yard work, how is that honorable because frankly that seems more like cowardly, persecuting behavior than protection?

Has anyone tried Lanomax? a cataract dissolving eye drop for pets. My 13 year old dog is constantly bumping into furniture and I see many good comments for this product, but need some feedback if possible.

Dogs and autistic people think in a similar way and can be the most helpful Wether the dog or person is struggling the other is always there to help

This would be easier to listen to if you gathered people with a better connection. These 2 people seem to have some issues, female dominant and male avoids a lot of eye contact. This makes it a bit blah

I tell parents if you train your children you will not need to discipline them. Dogs are more problematic now as humans become more emotionally unhealthy.

It works in prison it works with children; take away you attention if they don't do what you mention.

Dog psychology ...??? What with out me ### ceaser millan

i love this and helped me out with my paper. Josh your mom is hot

Interesting video, too bad most of it was false.

I don’t care what you say. Dogs ARE people

"If you're a Ceaser Millan lover you'll love us" Christ why couldn't you have started off with that instead saving it for near the end. I wouldn't have wasted 40mins listening to this video 🤦‍♀️you go on about positive training and understanding your dogs language yet you advocate a trainer who only knows how to abuse and be dominant????

This is so awkward

you lost me at civilised like us

No reason to watch past the first minute. The repeat, repeat, repeat the same words in different sentences saying the same thing. Absolutely nothing on the psychology of training

Wasted 40 minutes watching this video

Black lives matter is a racist movement - but apart from an objection to the t-shirt this is a good solid chat.

I was following along until she compared herself to Dr. Phil, a television fraud...

Let's do a Podcast together #topsnappodcast

Love it, love your analogies and where they stem from. I am looking forward to learning more from you guys!

I believe in Dog. dogs are peoplex2; an excellent discussion of real behavior and responses that honor our best friend. Both individuals are in tune with both dogs and people. This should be required viewing for owners. Western civilization was advanced in large part because of the help provided by dogs and cats. thanks for posting.

Awesome Podcast with a lot of great information. I am very much looking forward to the next episode. By the way Jason, My Yellow Lab Layla is doing Amazing since spending some time with you and implementing what you taught me with her at home. I took her to and ran with her in last weekend's 5th Annual Atlanta Lab Rescue 5k Run and Layla did Great (Becky couldn't believe she was the same dog)--we came in 5th place in our age group.. Thank you again for all your help!!!!
