Engagement is King and Reactivity with Nick Benger

Nick Benger is the 'Expert Dog Trainer' on Amazon TV series 'The Pack', host of the podcast 'Dog Talk with Nick Benger' and professional dog trainer in the UK with his company Hound Plus.

Nick has contributed a lot to our industry and in this episode he talks about the two areas that he is most passionate about, keeping the dog engaged with you and working with aggressive and reactive dogs.

Nick is a seasoned professional and nicely breaks down some of the techniques he uses and teaches to his clients. We talk about why engagement is more important that working on recall and what the difference is in the first place. We also dive into different reasons our dogs might be aggressive or reactive and how the motivation behind the dogs behaviour will change the way we approach it as professionals.
