Dog training and care questions in this video:

• It is my understanding that many countries do not crop ears and tails of dogs, while the US still does.

  Can you please share any insights on this?

• Hi Grisha, would you be able to write the names of the equine trainers/behaviorists that Katie mentions? I tried google, but don’t think I’ve got the spelling right.

• Can’t seem to teach ‘off’ without ‘chaining’ it…any suggestions?

• My dog keeps jumping up whenever someone comes home. How do I teach him to stop doing that?

• NOTE: Be sure to watch for the end for a fun bonus. To ponder: why did I back away with Bean after the recall? There are a few reasons.

Links I referred to in this session (or could have):

  Check out the Empowered Equestrians Facebook group – nearly every single R+ horse trainer is on it, and the group can point people in a lot of directions for further education.

• I talked about how to give your dog more interaction. The Petzi Treat Cam is one of the gadgets that lets you dispense treats online to your dog. I haven’t tested it though.
