Part 2

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Jamie Penrith, a seasoned dog trainer known for managing challenging behaviours and advocating for balanced training methods. Jamie shares his journey from a police dog handler to becoming a respected voice in the dog training community. We dive deep into the controversy surrounding using different training tools, exploring why these methods are often misunderstood and demonised.

Jamie discusses real-world examples of these tools being crucial in saving dogs' lives and ensuring their safety in farms and public spaces. He also touches on the ethics of using aversive tools and how he ensures their humane and effective use. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice, challenging common myths and offering a fresh perspective on training a well-rounded, socially acceptable dog.
