  • Summary

  • In this episode, host Victoria talks with seasoned dog trainer Julie Schmitt about the evolution of dog training methods from traditional compulsion-based techniques to modern positive reinforcement approaches. Julie shares her transformative journey, starting over 25 years ago with Guide Dogs for the Blind, where food rewards were initially discouraged. She reveals how the field has since shifted to embrace compassionate and scientifically backed training methods that prioritize a dog's mental and emotional well-being.

    Julie discusses the importance of empathy and agency in the trainer-dog relationship, likening it to respectful parenting rather than authoritarian control. By highlighting her own growth and ongoing learning, she encourages both new trainers and dog owners to stay curious and open to change. This conversation provides a heartfelt, insightful perspective on the evolving world of dog training and the power of compassion and science to create happier, healthier dogs and trainers alike.
