Patricia McConnell

Welcome to Season 4 of The Bitey End of the Dog. I’m really excited to be launching 17 episodes with so many incredible conversations centered around the topic of aggression, and all of the ways we can help dogs and their people.Many of this season’s episodes focus on the human side of aggression cases, and while I didn’t actually plan for that, I am truly happy many of the conversations took a deep dive into understanding why the human element is such a crucial part of dog aggression. In this episode, I have the distinct honor to chat with one of my all time heroes in dog training, Patricia McConnell. Her work was pivotal in helping me learn more about kinder, gentler methods to dog training, and her knowledge, kindness, and generosity will forever be etched into the betterment of humankind.I also want to take a moment to provide an important content warning for this episode. This was one of the most emotional episodes for me to record, and Trisha and I go deep into some very sensitive subjects. We discuss Trisha’s book, The Education of Will, and the topics of trauma, abuse, and assault are focused on throughout the conversation. Listener discretion is advised. I also want to note that while we focus much on the human side of trauma in our discussion, we also discuss how trauma impacts dogs, and it’s impact on aggression as well.

Helen runs Old Dogs Go to Helen, a non-profit organization that cares for senior or hospice dogs, and all the considerations that go into running such a wonderful cause. We chat about their care and behavior considerations, including aggression, or lack there of, but one of the highlights of this episode for me was learning what Helen does to navigate the emotions of saying goodbye to the dogs in our care.ABOUT HELEN:https://nomonkeybusinessdogtraining.com/meet-the-trainers/SAVORING THE SUNSET WEBINAR (Scheduled for 12/14/22 at 6pm Eastern):https://nomonkeybusinessdogtraining.thinkific.com/courses/savoring-the-sunset?fbclid=IwAR2hPldBQCMmROxLwhSoLriD59-RxVKZlfz6ocHyGycuH24Fz-4KJ3Y7TNwDONATE TO THE CAUSE HERE:https://olddogsgotohelen.com/donateSupport the show

Helen St. Pierre - Old Dogs Go to Helen - A Special Episode Dedicated to Our Older Friends

A bite from a dog can have many ramifications. These can include the emotional impacts on the dog’s guardians, or the dog practicing an undesirable behavior, or even the potential fate of the dog. And of course in our litigious society, we often will see civil and even criminal ramifications when a dog inures a person or other animal. For this episode of Fresh Bites on The Bitey End of the Dog, I chat with Melissa McMath Hatfield who is an expert on expert witness work in dog bite cases.  Melissa does an excellent job of breaking down what can happen when a bite incident ends up in court, and what to expect from both the plaintiff and defendant sides. For additional resources on helping dogs with aggression, visit:https://aggressivedog.comAbout Melissa:Melissa McMath Hatfield, MS, CBCC-KA, CDBC, has combined her experience as a trial consultant and her passion for the human-canine relationship to develop and strengthen the canine-human relationship through understanding, knowledge, and empathy.  Hatfield earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology (1981) and is a retired Licensed Psychological Examiner.

She has been published and presented to numerous state and national bar associations and is considered an expert in jury selection for both state and federal courts. She has participated in high-profile cases in both civil and criminal courts across the country.  Hatfield is a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant and a Professional Member of both the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT).

Alex and Will Sessa - Living and Working With a Police Dog

This is an excellent episode with another awesome team member from Behavior Vets. For this episode of Fresh Bites on The Bitey End of the Dog, I have an enjoyable conversation with Bobbie Bhambree, the director of behavior services at Behavior Vets, about veterinarian and trainer collaborations. An often important and crucial aspect of working with dogs who have aggression issues is this team approach which includes the dog’s guardian, their veterinarian, and the behavior professional or trainer to ensure the best possible outcomes. Bobbie and I discuss a number of key strategies to build these team relationships, and I think you will get some nice takeaways from this episode.  For additional resources on helping dogs with aggression, visit:https://aggressivedog.comHere is the special link to The Aggression in Dogs Master Course and Expert Webinar Bundle.

This is an excellent episode with another awesome team member from Behavior Vets. For this episode of Fresh Bites on The Bitey End of the Dog, I have an enjoyable conversation with Bobbie Bhambree, the director of behavior services at Behavior Vets, about veterinarian and trainer collaborations. An often important and crucial aspect of working with dogs who have aggression issues is this team approach which includes the dog’s guardian, their veterinarian, and the behavior professional or trainer to ensure the best possible outcomes. Bobbie and I discuss a number of key strategies to build these team relationships, and I think you will get some nice takeaways from this episode.  For additional resources on helping dogs with aggression, visit: <a href="https://aggressivedog.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://aggressivedog.com </a> Here is the special link to The Aggression in Dogs Master Course and Expert Webinar Bundle.

Sue Sternberg

In this episode I chat with Sue Sternberg, a world renowned dog behavior expert who has devoted her personal and professional life to helping dogs and people live together happily.  We talk about the street dogs we had the pleasure of observing when we were together in Valle De Bravo, Mexico, and the profound difference in behavior with dogs in the United States. I also pick Sue’s brain on her fascinating insight into dog body language and red flags for aggression, and we dive deeper into the reason why we might be seeing an increase in aggression cases overall. Hopefully, this episode will generate some much needed conversation about how we are getting dogs and bringing them into our human lives. AggressiveDog.comAggression in Dogs ConferenceSue's website:https://www.suesternberg.comAbout Sue:Sue has been working in shelters and as a dog trainer since 1981. Sue was the 2016 recipient of the APDT's Lifetime Achievement Award. She founded the shelter featured in the HBO documentary: Shelter Dogs. Her over 40 years of canine behavior experience includes as a dog control officer, behavior consultant at the ASPCA, shelter owner, successful competitor in a variety of dog sports (with Nose Work being her current wild favorite) and a teacher of dog trainers world-wide. She has published many books and DVDs  on all aspects of dog behavior, training and assessments, available through www.Dogwise.com and www.TawzerDog.com.​Her latest book from Dogwise, is Assessing Aggression Thresholds in Dogs —Using the Assess-A-Pet Protocol to Better Understand Aggression. Sue has been developing and refining assessment techniques for decades to help shelter workers and trainers determine the likelihood that a dog will engage in aggressive behaviors. This book includes Sue’s newest protocols based on the theory that sociability is the key predictor of a dog’s potential for aggression.  Sue’s newest DVD project is a giant, lifetime video collection of discrete behaviors serving as a catalog of body language—over three hours of an intensive study guide to dogs, available through Dogwise. Sue is a hobby paleontologist, and spends as much free time as she can exploring the desert with her dogs looking for fossils and also pretty rocks. She loves all things Star Trek, is an avid tea drinker, and plays the fiddle, too.Support the show

We talk about the behaviors to look for when a dog is in pain; the impact of different training tools on a dog’s structure;  and what activities we might commonly see dog trainers engage in that can be detrimental to a dog’s overall health. <a href="https://www.wizardofpaws.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Debbie's Website</a> <a href="https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com/courses/pain" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Debbie's Webinar on Recognizing Pain in Dogs</a> If you want to learn more about helping dogs with aggression, we offer webinars, courses, conferences, and more! <a href="https://aggressivedog.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AggressiveDog.com</a> <a href="https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aggressive Dog Educational Offerings</a> <a href="https://thelooseleashacademy.com/conference" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aggression in Dogs Conference</a><a href="https://cash.app/$MichaelShikashio" rel="payment nofollow" target="_blank">Support the show</a>
