"Why Won't My Adopted Dog Eat?" Solutions Based in Logic and CCBT (no, not handfeeding)
00:10:33
Welcome! Adopting a dog over the age of six months is rewarding and fun. When initially integrating dogs into a family, we can expect some challenges. As with humans, change in eating habits is a common reaction to stress caused by change in environment or physical ailments. When physically healthy dogs who are adapting well to their new environment refuse to eat, it can be scary and a bit of a mystery for many adopters. Fortunately, their are quick solutions grounded in logic, creativity, and the ability to think like a dog, as well as long-term solutions grounded in Canine CBT which address the root of the problem.
As discussed in the conclusion, here are the links to a few of the many shows I am a featured guest on:

Habits, Cues, Triggers - How do they effect behavior in humans and dogs?
01:30:30
Does your dog run to the door when you pick up your car keys? Or run to the door with the sound of your partner's car pulling? Or jump off the couch when you click off the tv?
These are triggers that create habits - good habits! But what about habits our dogs have that are not what we perceive as "good" or "wanted". These habits lead to unwanted behavior, but mainstream dog training addresses these as "good vs bad behavior", using conditioning methods to change them, which can often fail.
Canine CBT views all behaviors as driven by emotional intelligence and a self-perceived need to do a behavior to achieve a goal. The behavior becomes a habit based on cognitive skills. To change that behavior, we must change perception.
My guest (or, more accurately, me as a guest on his podcast) , Ian Tolson, is an expert in habits - why we have them, how we can change them, and how they effect our behavior. This episode unfolded from a chat intended to be an episode for Ian's podcast, and turned into a chat on how habits form behaviors, and how we change these behaviors by changing perception.
Is there much difference between humans and dogs in relation to cognitive skills, emotional intelligence, and behaviors stemming from these? Find out in this off-the-cuff chat.
I follow this chat with exercises that change a dog's perception of you and your ability to calmly manage situations.

Leash Walks - Dogs Love Them, And You Should, Too!
00:20:50
Leash walks can be frustrating when dogs are pulling, putting on the brakes, or lolly-gagging. Should you be expected to continuously turn around, or simply allow your dog to sniff everything? Should you be expected to have decompression walks that are really only decompressing for your dog?
In this ep I talk about common recommendations, from continuously turning around, standing still, to allowing your dog to sniff and decide the direction (is this a technique?). I talk about different apparatuses designed to prevent pulling, and discuss some pros and cons of some popular ones.
I make some suggestions of easy exercises to apply to gain greater focus (no, not treats or the look at me command), and provide suggestions as to how to apply these to your situation and daily life.
Leash walking is all about having the skills to communicate and provide calm, clear direction. Your dog's perception of you and the environment determines his or her behavior.
NOTE - this is not a training guide. The advice is to be adjusted to your needs and specific situation, and dog.

Water Rescue Dogs - the story of Al, by guest, Lynne Cox
00:30:24
Welcome to Dog Training DisrUPted, by UPWARD Dogology
This episode features animal lover, professional swimmer, writer, speaker, and creator of peace, Lynne Cox.
Lynne's new book, Tales of Al, The Water Rescue Dog, is a heartwarming story about a dog expected to be an "easy train" by the elite Italian Water Rescue Dog Team. Lynne recounts her visit to Italy, meeting all the dogs, and sharing the story of Al, (well, not the end of the story!)
Lynne is an American long-distance open-water swimmer, who is best known for being the first person to swim between the US and the Soviet Union in the Bering Strait, a feat which has been recognized for easing the Cold War tensions between Ronald Reagan and Soviet Leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. She still swims every morning, preferably with dogs, and she is such an inspiration for so many people. I have the utmost respect for Lynne.
Following our chat, I talk about cognitive skills, and they are harnessed differently for different activities, and the importance of adapting to dog's personalities.

Neuroscience Explains Adolescent Dog Behavior and Training Methods
00:15:20
Welcome! In this episode I refer to the studies by Dr. Kathy Murphy, owner of Barking Brains, and a neuroscientist who specializes in brain development in respect to behaviors and the success (or lack there of) of training methods in different life stages.
This episode focuses on the adolescent stage, describing brain development and how it effects behaviors. There are a lot of comparisons to teenagers!
The adolescent stage is where I have devoted my three decades of study and work to, and where Canine CBT is particularly effective. Find out why based on neuroscience!
For a more indepth study of this topic, I suggest taking the course by neuroscientist Dr. Angelova through the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy.

Dominance, Alpha and Pack Leader - The Good, the Bad, and the Useless (not in that order).
00:14:23
Hello and thanks for joining me!
I am guessing most of you are not proponents of methods that take a "dominance" approach. What does this really entail? And how is it different from Alpha and Pack Leader?
There are common exercises in dominance training that may not seem as though they would have a negative effect, and, in fact, are part of mainstream dog training. Is going through a door first harmful or simply counterproductive? Can this routine lead to dominance, and will that achieve the goal of addressing unwanted behavior? How do dogs perceive these exercises and the theory of dominance?
This episode raises some interesting thoughts on how mainstream dog training can, unintentionally, decrease the bond between you and your dog, and effect the success of your training routine. Or perhaps your dog simply thinks you are not very bright!
I then provide some suggestions for exercises to try at home to improve the bond and increase your communication with your dog.

Senior Dogs - What to Expect, with guest Dr. Cristina Diaz Madronero. Snippet: Best training method based on life stage
00:35:36
Cristina is a Veterinary Surgeon. Author. RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Dermatology. She shares with us her vast knowledge on senior dogs in respect to health issues, changes, and what to expect.
This fun, casual conversation ventures into chatting about adopting mature dogs, and, well, just how great they are!
I follow our chat by introducing the topic I spoke on at the Animal Behavior Society Conference 2022. You may have heard me say, multiple times, "There is no one right way to work with a dog," and in this episode I explain what I mean. Not only should the method match the reason for the behavior and the personality of the dog, but also, because of brain development in different life stages, some methods are simply more effective than others at different ages. Find out why!
Thanks for your interest, and as always, feedback and questions are welcome.

The low-down on animal welfare orgs, dog experts, and the shelter system - are they working in your favor?
00:35:01
Welcome to the final episode of 2022 - a not-so-typical year in review.
It is time! You deserve to know why the dog behavioral experts are keeping the info from you. Why is the shelter system unaware of Canine CBT - or are they? Are behavioral veterinarians any more educated than your average trainer? Why are trainers scared to admit that methods are not meeting the needs of all the clients?
This episode is, essentially, a year in review – with a twist. Have you wondered why the so-called industry experts do not know Canine CBT? Here is your answer! Find out what the industry experts are doing and how it affects you, your dog, and your industry related profession!
BEFORE LISTENING:
It is important to note two points:
1) the orgs or individuals mentioned in the episode are not required, responsible, or expected to accept, review, or evaluate CCBT. Equally, they do not hold the power or the right to assess, approve, disapprove, dismiss, or judge CCBT. The industry is non-regulated, which means there is no governing, regulatory body that is required, or available, to review and assess innovations. There is simply no process or organization, as with regulated industries, to do this. CCBT is scientifically proven by meeting the requirements to scientifically prove a methodology.
2) Dr. Nicolas Dodman runs a non-profit organization whose website states the mission is to research and perform studies to discover solutions to prevent behavioral euthanasia and surrender, which is why I reached out to him. During our conversation, he admitted to not knowing what the website stated, and that their goal is to increase donations via media and awareness.
So, both these points will make more sense when you dive into the episode. I apologize for not including this info in the episode.

Canine Behavioral Enrichment - Why is it trendy and is it effective?
00:13:56
Welcome to Dog Training DisrUPted by UPWARD Dogology!
Canine Enrichment is all the rage, especially in shelters and amongst behavioral experts. Yes, another trendy term that seems positive, but is it? Well, like most things, when used to divert from the real issue, or "sell" products and services by promoting them as something they are not, this can lead to frustration with tragic results.
Once again, I present a candid, educational view to help you make the right decisions for you and your dog.
There is no "one right way" to work with a dog, to train, or to pet parent. Know your options and make educated decisions.
Thank you for your support and interest. And for all you do for the dogs.

Fostering adolescent and adult dogs can be challenging. In this episode, I break down the goals and introduce the 7 step fostering program I have applied with hundreds of dogs and taught to dozens of fosters.
Programs for pet parents are different than those of fostering - Why? Because the goal is different! Fostering is not about BEING the best home or addressing behavioral issues that are specific to the foster home, but rather, taking the steps to ensure a successful adoption into the best home for the dog.
I use the example of a recent foster couple I helped with their challenging dog. Their goal to address behavioral issues specific to their home life complicated the process of providing the dog with the necessary skills to be happily homed.
The UPWARD Dogology 7 step program keeps the goals in the forefront and the success rate high. In this episode, I review these steps, discussing why they are important, and how they eliminate the need for lengthy fostering periods and allow for an easy integration into their new home.

Comparing Humans and Dogs in Applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
01:14:28
David Roberts, Licensed Master Social Worker, is an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and has extensive personal experience, claiming "it played a major role in saving my life after my daughter died at the age of 18."
Dave and I dive deep into what CBT is and use comparative examples in human and dog behavior and rehabilitation. We discuss the role of mindset, perception, habits, and cognitive appraisal in making decisions. We discuss the difference between CBT and Counter Conditioning, and why CBT is so effective with dogs in different life stages, as with humans. We discuss the benefits of methods not requiring the stimuli to be present or relying on rewards.
This episode is sure to inspire, allowing you to see your dog's behavior in a new light.

Canine Aggression and Anxiety - How Cognitive Dissonance Affects Dog Behavior
00:15:15
Dog behaviors associated with aggression and anxiety are caused by many factors, of which cognitive dissonance is rarely discussed, yet has a profound impact, in particular with adolescent and adult dogs, while, perhaps surprisingly, upbringing is not a differentiating factor.
This episode covers what it is, common signs/behaviors including examples, what NOT to do - and most importantly, why, and why CCBT is so effective in addressing behaviors stemming from cognitive dissonance.
As always, I appreciate your support, questions, feedback. Please feel free to share to help other professionals, pet parents and dogs.
If your dog is reactive, nervous, fearful, experiencing change in behavior, or acting unpredictable, I recommend this episode as a starting place.

The Connection Between the Canine-Guardian Bond and Dog Behavior
00:21:43
In this episode, I read my scientific paper from my PhD course (Cognition, Emotion to Improve Animal Welfare - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences).
No scientific knowledge or prep required. I discuss canine enrichment, street dogs, adolescent dogs, and the guardian-canine bond to bring to light the benefits of human-based approaches, such as Flow, Cognitive Enrichment, and CBT meet the needs of pet parents and dogs.
ABSTRACT - "The aim of this paper is to highlight the connection between cognitive processes, affected states (primarily in relation to the guardian-canine bond), and behavior to explore the effects of these factors on the welfare of domestic dogs. I begin by presenting the proven benefits, as well as the limitations, of enrichment activities and training programs. I discuss the importance of stimulating cognitive functions and establishing the guardian-canine bond to prevent and address behaviors leading to surrender, euthanasia, and the implementation of aversive measures, and refer to studies to highlight the benefits of further research into factors affecting behavior. I then move beyond enrichment and the discussion of positive verses negative conditioning methods to introduce strategies borrowed from the human world to heighten cognitive stimulation, enhance bonding, and address behavioral issues as potential suggestions for future exploration to improve the welfare of domestic dogs."

I recently took two puppies in off a reserve and here is what I learned! By understating puppy training and braining , we can better understand how different methods are effective at different stages.
Meet Jonesy and Jackson, 3 month old puppies who are very different from each other. How are methods adapted? Why is it important to view training as bonding and harnessing cognitive skills, as opposed to "tick the boxes".
Referencing specific examples with these pups, this episode explores operant conditioning and Canine CBT.

Dog anxiety often leads to behaviors that results in frustration for pet parents, leading to surrender or euthanasia. There are a plethora of approaches to address it, so how do you choose the best one for you and your dog?
Anxiety is an emotion, not a behavior. It is essential to apply a method that acknowledges emotions, taking an approach whereby we do not suppress the emotion, but rather, provides skills to regulate, process, and replace "harmful" emotions with positive ones.
In this episode, I introduce Emotional Replacement Therapy. I address common changes that occur as we work our way through the program, and discuss "coping mechanisms" and "impulse control"

Welcome to Dog Training DisrUPted. Do you get overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting suggestions and advise? You are not alone! Surprisingly, many of those approaches may be effective, and many ineffective - why?
Many methods assess behaviors and then implement solutions to address the behavior.
CCBT analyzes the situation, determining the reason for the dog's behaivor, based on the goal and thought processes.
This episode explores one situation (a dog growling) in four different scenerios, Based on the information we gather, we can determine the reason for the behavior - which is different in each situation, which is important in determining the platform exercises we develop.
Put on your thinking cap, or perhaps your detective cap, and join me on a journey in dissecting dog behavior. More fun than it sounds!

In late 2019, I was contacted by a man whose story completely changed my mindset and brought clarity (ah-ha moment that lasted years) of who I am and why I am so compelled to ensure all dogs are treated as individuals, with dignity and respect, and that people have access to the skills and tools to make previously traumatized and unwanted dogs feel comfortable, loved, understood, and welcome.
Close to this time, I was contacted by another man who enlightened me on my method, thus changing my professional direction and positioning.
These two life and career changing events profoundly impacted me as a person and the influence of CCBT in the animal welfare industry.
These stories have only been revealed twice - embedded into other shows, and never as stories unto themselves and on this level. These stories continue to impact me, as I continue to absorb and process the information.
I appreciate your interest and genuine desire to help animals.
As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns, and, if you like the episode, please share and/or provide a rating and review.

Dog Anxiety - What we can learn from Human Anxiety.
00:23:10
Welcome!
Anxiety is not a singular behavioral condition, nor does it have a "tick the box" solution.
In this episode, I explore Misophonia – a condition that creates a strong negative reaction when hearing triggering sounds. I am using this specific example to show the importance of studying "human" conditions leading to behaviors associated with anxiety.
By studying the symptoms, causes, cures, and statistics of these conditions, we can advance our understanding of canine anxiety and how to effectively address the specific form of anxiety as it pertains to the individual dog.

Is Your Dog Trainer "Popular" or "Impactful"? Why 2025 is the year of the Pet Parent.
00:10:09
Welcome to the final episode of 2024!
2025 is becoming the year to not simply demand more from industry leaders that have no interest in providing more, but rather, finding those solutions, stepping outside the comfort zone and putting one's own goals first!
Does this sound selfish?
Pet professionals cannot succeed in this industry by following mainstream, pleasing the industry, remaining loyal to leaders who are more concerned with their own success than that of dog trainers. Continuing to divide the industry and blaming pet parents drives away progress.
Pet parents, having an allegiance only to their dog, family, and community expect more from their trainers, and pet professionals need to provide the solutions.
When pet professionals empower themselves, they are better equipped to educate pet parents, and, in turn, the needs of dogs are met.
The launch of the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy is much more than the launching of a one-of-a-kind institute - it represents the movement toward positioning pet parents and forward-thinking, brave, dog trainers as leaders in the canine behavior and animal welfare realms.
Empower Yourself to Make An Impact.

"Treat Motivated" Dogs - What Does This REALLY Mean?
00:19:10
Welcome!
First off! I apologize for the dead air space, I am using a different recording platform that apparently does not like my taste in music :-) And, as you cat lovers can relate to, I had to attend to my cat's needs. :-)
This episode explores the term "Treat Motivated" referencing common scientific studies to determine what this really means and if the focus on treat motivation means the study is missing some very important information about our dogs!
Secondly, I use the example of a client of a student in the CCBT Diploma Program at the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy to discuss the challenges in using Conditioning Methods with dogs that are not "treat motivated"
And, finally, is "treat motivated" an advantage when adopting a dog?
Be sure to check out www.instituteofcaninepsychotherapy.com for info! Our students are making waves in the canine behavioral and welfare sectors!

Season 1- Part 1 of 4 - Who the hell is Billie Groom?
00:22:16
To avoid that "deer-in-the-headlights-look" as you venture through the mini-series, it is a good idea to hear how Billie's learning journey lead to the creation of UPWARD Dogology. This is not your average learning journey - no certifications, no set game plan, and no rules.
"My learning journey is my own, and I give full credit to the dogs who put their trust in me. My goal was to develop a solution to prevent behavioral surrender, euthanasia and abuse to adolescent and adopted dogs. In a twisted, somewhat backwards, journey, I accomplished that, and so much more."

The Importance of Changing Your Mindset; How the Dog Industry Today Effects You and Your Dog
00:17:06
Welcome to episode 2 of the revamped season 1 (as of Sept, 2021)
In this episode, I share thought provoking information and stories to "retrain your brain", so you can easily absorb the information on UPWARD Dogology in the following episodes.
Mainstream dog training currently consists of methods adhering to Conventional Methodologies. These methods are effective and many dogs can go through their entire life with the guidance provided by Conditioning Methods. But for many dogs these methods can fall short after puppyhood. This is not the fault of the owner or trainer, or, of course, the dog!
This episode talks about how industry experts have effectively (and thankfully) diminished the popularity of negative methods and techniques, yet also recognize the need for a methodology that is non-aversive and effective with dogs over 6 months, and in particular, ones with a checkered or unconventional past. To start this process, it is necessary to open our minds to learning.

The Difference in the Platform and Design of Conditioning Methods to that of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and How That Effects Success
00:17:04
Welcome to episode 3 of the revamped Season 1 (as of Sept, 2021).
In this episode I explore the differences in platform, design and intentions of Conditioning Methodologies to those of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In doing so, you will learn how it addresses behaviors and situations that conventional techniques are not intended to address.
This information, provided using examples of different behaviors and situations, allows you to understand why you may feel frustrated or as though you are doing something wrong - you are not! And your dog is not "bad". It is simply a matter of changing, adapting and growing with your dog!

The 10 Principles of Cognitive Therapy (more fun than it sounds) The 3 criteria to Scientifically Prove a Methodology - Does UPWARD Dogology Make the Cut? What is "Dog Cognition"?
00:20:42
Welcome to the revamped Season 1 (as of Sept, 2021)
In this final episode of Season 1, we explore the 10 principles of Cognitive Therapy. Why is this important? Well, in doing so, we learn how UPWARD Dogology incorporates approaches and principles that scientists and animal experts are recognizing as necessary components for securing a positive relationship with our canine companions. ( ie - communication, bonding, pro-active prevention, teaching expected behavior, building a platform, calm guidance, recognizing emotions and harnessing cognitive skills)
Cognitive Studies on canines performed by scientists prove dogs can think cognitively. We need to harness these skills to effectively "work with" dogs, especially adolescent dogs and ones with checkered or unconventional upbringings. Learn what cognitive skills are and why how those effect your dog's behavior on a daily basis.
Dog experts are making strides in incorporating methods, principles and approaches that non-aversively harness cognitive skills and respect the emotional intelligence of dogs. Is this possible while only adhering to methods grounded in Conditioning Methodologies?
To decrease euthanasia and surrenders, we need a methodology that addresses aggression and anxiety to a greater degree than the ones currently presented in mainstream dog training. Change is urgently needed. Be a part of the solution.

Gadgets, Rules, and Tools! Are We Being Saturated? How Are These Effecting Our Relationship With Our Dogs?
00:13:15
In this episode, I talk about the reliance on gadgets to address behaviors and problems. These gadgets are not necessarily aversive or harmful, such as a slow-feed bowl, but are they preventing a holistic approach, communication and bonding?
Some gadgets are aversive, yet are considered non-aversive simply because of the way they are marketed., such as the no-bark collar. How are these tools harming dogs and our ability to proactively prevent issues and address the root of the behaviors?
When these gadgets gather in the closet, and the behaviors are still present, this can lead to increased rules and restrictions, which can also decrease bond and the ability to easily integrate dogs into our lifestyle.
This episode, as all episodes, provides thought provoking information to allow you to make the best decision for your dog and your family.

A Scientific Study on Changes Needed in the Adoption Process. Is the Need to Ensure Successful Adoptions Over-Complicating the Process?
00:14:47
In this episode, I refer to a scientific study conducted by The Dog Rehoming Project, on the need for rescue organizations to focus on the post adoption process. Is the excessive pre-adoption form an indication of the number of returns, and is this excessive form the solution?
Rescue orgs and dog experts are promoting a change in mindset that focuses on patience and compassion, yet can these philosophies be unintentionally placing unjustified blame on the adopters?
I then dive into how suggestions made with the best of intentions are clear indications of the challenges faced when adopting a dog or working with dogs to address behaviors.
Why are Avoidance, Distraction and "Simply Managing Your Dog's Fear" acceptable training advice, and are dog owners satisfied with these limited options?
Is a Decompression Period necessary for all dogs? A unnecessary decompression period can backfire, causing some dogs to rebel, or feel uncomfortable.
To effectively integrate dogs into our homes, we need transferable skills that start during the pre-adoption process. Learn more about transferable skills and the benefits of Canine CBT.

The SnipPet is back by popular demand - a short piece on a random topic (commonly associated with the interview).
In this episode, the SnipPet discusses the benefits of teaching people how to work with their dogs. Board-n-train, classroom style, or even 1-on-1 without a 2 way conversation (due to the trainer's inability to adapt to individual clients and dogs), can be limiting for both the trainer/behaviourist and their client. Learn why working with fosters and rescuers forces trainers and behaviourists to elevate their skill set.

Furry Hobos N Hiway Heros with Canadian Trucking Magazine have saved the lives of hundreds of animals and what it takes to do this. SnipPet Piece - Keeping "four-on-the-floor", as suggested by truckers.
00:34:16
Season 4 introduces us to people who volunteer and work with dogs in a variety of ways. Billie hosts these eye-opening and entertaining Q and A, conversational style interviews with her co-host, David L. Helsel, rescuer and volunteer. Each interview is followed by a SnipPet piece on a dog related topic relevant to the interview.
In this episode, we interview Furry Hobos N Hiway Heros, a non-profit organization founded by Margaret Foster-Hyde, that organizes the transport of animals across North America to their new homes! 100% volunteer run, the truckers get as much out of these transports as the pets do. The effort, planning and passion that goes into these transports is well worth it.
Listen in on the three way conversation where we have an off-the-cuff chat with Maggie, a seasoned trucker and youngest member of Furry Hobos N Hiway Heros, and Dave Mackenzie, editor and publisher of Canadian Trucking Magazine (CTM) and long-time supporter of Margaret and her efforts. You don't want to miss this one!

Nikki, vet. tech and creator of The Canine Health Nut, is passionate about sharing health and nutritional information that really matters. Lose the generic info and find the facts! Speaking of "generic advice", beware of "coffee shop" behavioral advice.
00:35:35
Nikki is not only a certified veterinarian technician, but also a research nut - especially when it comes to canine health and nutrition. She is chalk full of cool advice (the "who knew?" kind of tips and info). She digs deep in her research and talks with vets and canine nutritionists and then puts it all into an easy to understand "nutshell". There is so much info, especially generic information, on social media it is easy to get misinformed and lead down the wrong path. The Canine Health Nut is here to help guide you in the right direction.
As Nikki suggests for health related advice, behavioural advice provided on social media or through "coffee shop conversation" (because "everyone is a dog expert") may not be wrong, but it may not be correlative to your issues or needs, or the personality of your dog. Examples are provided to help you weed through the crap and focus on your goals.

Michael, of Pilots to the Rescue, combines his love for flying with his passion for helping animals get to safety. Is there life beyond Positive Reinforcement Training? A Look at Balanced Training.
00:26:55
Michael Schneider, founder of Pilots to the Rescue, combines his love for flying with his passion for helping animals of all kinds (including us two-leggers). Our chat with Michael takes us into the world of flying dogs out of the worst situations, to their rescuers, who then find their furever homes. The rewards far outweigh the challenges - find out why!
The SnipPet piece talks about why the dog world struggles to meet the needs of dogs over 6 months of age, from a behavioural rehabilitation stand-point. Learn why the new, trending method, Balanced Training, is an option when applied properly, and one many people naturally apply. But is it enough? What are the signs (from your dog) that you need to move away from Conditioning methods, and onto Canine CBT?

Learn how The Man That Rescues Dogs Foundation is changing street life in Thailand. Should we convince, bribe or enforce rules to get dogs to learn right from wrong behavior?
00:25:53
Michael Baines, founder of The Man That Rescues Dogs Foundation, knows how to run a dog rescue and devotes his life to it. Located in Thailand, TMTRD Foundation has made a huge impact on the local community because of Michael's straight-forward, honest and charismatic approach. This interview is full of surprises - especially the answer to the infamous Tail-End question!
This engaging interview is followed by the always controversial topic of treats and praise. I share what I learned from working with rescued dogs; as much as we want to praise and treat them into doing the "right" behaviour, or "force an issue" by enforcing rules, or rushing to the end goal, we need to work with these dogs in a way that makes sense to them - remember, they are alive because they know how to process and think with the cognitive side of their brain.
Season 5 is a "Dogology" (kinda like a mixology) of tips, Q and A's, interviews, discussions and a deeper look into the 3 components of UPWARD Dogology all with the goal of increasing awareness and making the world a better place for all animals, including humans! Season 4 is interviews with people and organizations that help animals. Increase your awareness and be part of the solution by listening, sharing, and reviewing. Season 3 dives deep into trending methods. Are they right for you and your dog? Season 2 shares the learning journey of my clients with dogs with different issues and backgrounds; always interesting and a great way to feel a connections with others who have similar experiences. Season 1 starts by sharing my unique learning journey to explain how I know what I know. This is followed by a change in mindset - in the human! This is followed by an explanation of the differences between Conditioning Methods and that of CBT, followed by a deeper look into Dog Cognition, the principles of CBT in relation to dogs and dog training, and the need to include positive and beneficial approaches into mainstream dog training.
Upward Dogology has a change in music! Danielle Bourjeaurd is a 2017 CCMA (Canadian Country Music Awards) winner (Discovery Artist) and is making a splash in the country music fanclub.

Why are Negative Reinforcements Still Present? Are Avoidance and Distraction Realistic and Effective?
00:15:34
In the last decade or more there has been huge changes and advancements in the dog world at large and within the behavior/training sector. Thanks to influential organizations such as The Fear Free Movement, the popularity of negative reinforcements has decreased dramatically. Because Conditioning methods rely on reinforcements, this leaves positive reinforcements to carry the weight. Is this a realistic expectation?
The industries insistence of only including methods which rely on reinforcements has lead to an increase in gadgets and legitimizing "techniques" such as Avoidance and Distraction or simply "Managing Your Dog's Anxiety". Are these realistic and, when dog owners are not satisfied, is it fair to blame them?

Meeting and working with fearful or aggressive dogs. The importance of the approach.
00:07:34
One of the most important approaches of UPWARD Dogology is "Never rush to your end goal". Sound obvious? In this episode I use the example of working with an aggressive dog to show how trainers commonly focus on the dog liking them or using treats to increase comfort, which can cause increased frustration for both the dog and their human.

Are you a Dog Mom or foster Mom? If you are struggling to keep it together, you are not alone!
00:11:07
We explore the role of women and our reaction when the behaviour of the dog is causing disruption to the family dynamics. Women are often the main care givers and we tend to blame ourselves when things are out of balance. If you are frustrated and feeling defeated, learn why it is not your fault and how you can make changes to re-empower yourself and help your family.
This episode was created after I was a guest on a podcast called, "Her Canvas", where we discuss this issue in greater depth. I invite you to listen to that episode as well. Jedidah is a wonderful woman, great mother, and dynamic podcast host. It airs on Wed Nov 18th . I will include the link.

Can upbringing/puppyhood effect the behavior and personality of a dog? Why are 100,000 dogs killed in Spain each year?
00:29:30
Are behavioral issues unique to geographical locations? level of abuse? lifestyle during puppyhood? How do these effect the personality or needs of a dog? Perhaps all of these have an effect, but what is most important are the way the dog thinks and processes based on experiences, which are not as unique to geographical location and/or breed as one may think. How a dog is forced to think and how he perceives his surroundings effects his behaviours. Sound obvious? You think it would be more obvious that it appears to be.
Did you know every year 100,000 dogs are murdered in Spain? Mary, of Extraordinary Galgos and Podencos, Atlantic Chapter, is passionate about spreading awareness to help dogs, and she does not sugar-coat it! Join us for our chat with Mary who knows first hand the effects of upbringing on behaviours and personalities of dogs.

The dirty topic of "Dominance". Comparing dogs and humans in respect to communication, perception and how we project ourselves with guest Sandra Davis of The PeopleSmart Academy.
00:43:16
Dominance is a buzzword, and often controversial topic, in the dog world. Why? Well, it has a negative connotation, yet at the same time, dog owners are often told they need to gain dominance over their dog. What is acceptable? Is gaining Dominance really our goal? Is expecting our place on the hierarchy ladder and our rules and policies to be respected asking too much?
This thought-provoking piece on Dominance is followed by a chat with Sandra Davis, co-owner of The People Smart Academy. Comparing humans and canines is, again, a controversial topic, yet, as professions, we find it effective (yes, Sandra compares humans to dogs!). How we express ourselves, read others, teach and coach, and communicate is so important in all we do in life.

Scientific studies and experts validate the need for a formula grounded in C.B.T. for dogs. I talk about the future of UPWARD Dogology.
00:14:52
Welcome to the final episode of 2020, where I give a short description on my developments with professionals in the early part of 2020 and then moved onto researching and pursuing ways to spread awareness of CBT for dogs by making connections with all kinds of interesting people and professionals.
I talk about the surge of scientific studies in dog behavior and provide an example of how a common study on object permanence validates UPWARD Dogology. I then talk briefly about the study by Dr. Naomi Harvey on adolescent dogs, and provide a challenge for the listeners.
2021 will be all about spreading awareness in the effort to make UPWARD Dogology mainstream. Thank you for all your support.

Diving Deep into a Scientific Study on Adolescent Dog Behavior. Perhaps the methods we use perpetuate the behaviors associated with adolescence.
00:22:35
Welcome to the first episode of 2021 where we dissect a scientific study which, although valid and adhering to professional standards, begs the question as to whether the exercise, grounded in positive reinforcement training used to determine the results, is a factor in creating the change in behaviors commonly associated with the adolescent stage.
In other words: are the methods we use to solve the problems actually causing the problems?
NOTE: You do not need to be a scientist to understand the info in this episode, nor do you need to review the study before hand.
As you can see, we have moved to a monthly schedule to allow more time to pursue options for sharing the UPWARD Dogology formula on a larger scale, and to create episodes with in-depth information on dog behavior.

Connecting Scientific Studies on Dog Cognition to that of Common Dog Behavior Problems and the Best Method to Address Unwanted Dog Behavior.
00:20:31
Billie uses 4 scientific studies on dog cognition to explain why we need a method grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy to address a common unwanted behavior in dogs over 6 months.
In this episode we explore four cognitive abilities by introducing the studies which prove dogs have these abilities. I discuss how these abilities, although considered positive, can cause common unwanted behaviors and why suppressing these skills can increase the unwanted behavior.
Memory, Emotions, Object Permanence, Object Differentiation, Dexterity, and the ability to understand that an action has a result are some of the recent trends in scientific studies. If dogs can think cognitively, and their behaviors, whether considered "good" or "bad" (wanted or unwanted) are a result of these skills, we need to harness these skills to understand these behaviors. By remaining under the Operant Conditioning umbrella (positive reinforcement and balanced training), we simply cannot harness their cognitive abilities, which explains why addressing these behaviors is often challenging or impossible.
NOTE: At the time of recording this episode, I did not discuss counter conditioning as a method to address unwanted behaviors. There are other episodes which discuss counter conditioning and why it is limiting or ineffective in addressing behaviors.
NOTE: You do not need to be a scientist or a certified dog trainer to understand the info in this episode. If you have questions, please contact Billie at billie@upwarddogology.com

I then use an example provided by a professor as to what CBT is and how it is like making soup!

What Does It Mean to truly Understand Your Dog? "Talking With The Dogs" with Liz Murdoch; Feedback From Last Ep. Leash Walk Challenge; The Dangers of Pre-setting Training Goals
00:26:22
This ep. is all about reading and understanding our dogs, respecting their needs, and adapting to their personalities and they grow and change.
Liz Murdoch is an animal communicator with a passion for helping people bond and understand their pet on a whole new level. This is a great chat full of surprising tidbits of info.
I follow this with three examples of feedback I received from the challenge from last month's ep. (inserting command based exercises on a leash walk that require your feet to move when the dog does not, and unteaching the Sit command). This leads to some surprising results for two dogs with different kinds of anxiety and one silly dog!
I then use a client example to show the benefits of providing dogs with options. By pre-determining the end goal, we often limit the ability for dogs to overcome fears and prevent ourselves from enjoying the company of our dog. UPWARD Dogology allows us to provide skills to read the dog, adapt to individual dogs' personalities and progress as the dog progresses.

What Do We Do When Adopted Dogs Won't Eat?; The Decompression Period - Do Dogs Need It?; A Scientific Study on Street Dogs and Behavioral Issues.
00:16:03
Adopting a dog is rewarding, but can be challenging due to inherent stress. A reaction to stress is, as with humans, not eating, which can be scary! Common techniques often fail because they are not addressing the reason - in other words, we need to find the reason to determine solution. What if the dog is not stressed? What if their are no physical ailments? Maybe the solution requires logic and an understanding of how dog's think and feel and what is important to each dog.
We then chat about the Decompression period - is it simply an extension of the 3 day, 3 week, 3 month "meme"? Do dogs need it?
A recent scientific study out of the UK compares the opinions of veterinarians to those of dog owners regarding aggression and anxiety in former street dogs adopted into homes. The results are...well....they certainly bring home the need to more effectively address aggression and anxiety in adopted dogs. We got this covered, but are the vets listening?
We got new music! Check it out - thnx to Brian John Harwood, dog and music lover!

00:14:45
Welcome!
This episode was inspired by a ClubHouse Chat with the Director of the Thinking Dog Centre and Asst Prof at Hunter College, Sarah Byosiere, who talked about cognitive abilities in dogs and puppies. I often get asked why I do not work with puppies - find out why! How are the cognitive skills of puppies harnessed and applied differently to that of dogs?
Yup! Marc Bekoff sent me an email about his new book - get the scoop on how it relates to my passion for street dogs.

Which Method is Best for Anxiety Rehab and Why? Then, Meet Brad Malin, of Companion CBD.
00:28:34
Welcome to our first mid-month episode where I provide insight and info on dog behavior, followed by an guest speaker who is in an expert in their field.
Let's talk about Anxiety Rehabilitation! Conventional methods, ones common in mainstream dog training, adhere to the principles of Conditioning Methodologies. They are intentionally designed to teach and encourage expected behaviors, and prevent unwanted behaviors, making them great for puppies and some dogs. But what happens when dogs already feel fear or anxiety and their behaviors are already established? Well, this is where cognitive behavioral therapy shines! Find out why.
Meet Brad Malin, owner of Companion CBD, the only CBD product with a veterinarian on the team! Brad has a background in health and has worked closely with veterinarians. Frustrated by the inefficiencies of CBD for pets, he, along with veterinarians, developed the only CBD product in soft chews and backed by veterinarians. Find out what you need to know about CBD products - you will be surprised!

Study on Street Dogs Reading Traffic Lights and How Those Cognitive Skills Transfer to Adoption; The Story of a Drunk Girl and a Mexi Rescue
00:15:17
Street Dogs in Costa Rica learn many skills to survive. In this ep, I talk about my findings on a study on how they read and decipher street lights. I provide info on how to recognize and harness these cognitive skills when adopting dogs from the street.
I follow this with a story on how I got one of my Mexi-Rescues and how it brings to light the question as to why some dogs can survive on the street and some not-so-much.

The Adolescent Stage - Dog Cognition Skills Kick In - Learn How to Adapt.
00:12:09
The adolescent stage can be very challenging, even for the most experienced dog owners, irrelevant of the dog's upbringing, breed or training history. In this episode, I refer to dogs that have had a traditional upbringing - that of the same home since puppyhood and exposed to socialization, non-aversive training, and positive experiences. When these dogs suddenly rebel and seemingly forget everything they learn, it is common to assume they are being disobedient, but really what is happening, is their cognitive skills are kicking-in! They are processing, thinking and reacting differently. We need to change and adapt the way we work with them to harness these skills.
Check out season 1 and 3 all new episodes!! More info on Canine CBT and how it relates to you and your dog.

"When Your Child Asks For A Dog" - An interview with author, Ciaran Walsh. Followed By: "Is Having a Dog and a Baby Too Time Consuming?"
00:43:40
Welcome! In this episode, we chat with author, Ciaran Walsh, on how his newly released book gives parents a "get out of jail free card" when their child asks for a dog. This questions ("Can I have a dog pleeeeeeease?") is asked hundreds of times around the world daily. Are you prepared for the answer?
Although a children's book, the underlying purpose is to provide parents with the tools to determine if their family is ready to bring a dog into their lives and, if so, how to responsibly choose the right dog for them. This book is creative, fun and packed with thought provoking questions.
This chat is followed up with a talk on bringing a child home when you already have a dog. Many people feel pressured to surrender their dog due to "not enough time". Is this necessary and what can you do to prepare?

Michael Overlie: The Relationship between Men and their Dogs; How CBT is Changing Mindset on the need for "Boundaries" and "Discipline".
00:26:08
Welcome! You are going to love this chat with Michael!
Michael Overlie is a Canine-Partnered Coach, Energy Healer, and Author. Michael provides men with the tools to be not only a great dog-dad, but also the best human they can be, by changing their perceived need to be the tough guy, or use their dog as a status symbol. Amazingly, Michael accomplishes this in the most relaxed, holistic, and centered manner. I learned about Michael's mindset as we went through this most interesting chat. Trust me, he is like no one else you have met - come join us!
Speaking of mindset....I follow the chat with a talk on how the mindset toward dogs is progressing (finally) toward communicating and bonding with dogs - essentially a more holistic approach. Is this possible while remaining within the realms of conventional training techniques? I refer to a trainer who, in an attempt to improve the adoption process, encourages "Boundaries" and "Discipline" in the early stages. As much as I promote interacting with a newly adopted dog, as opposed to doing essentially "nothing", instilling boundaries and discipline is not the direction we want to go with dogs over 6 months.

Are Industry Leaders Giving You The Info You Need and Deserve? Let's Explore Some Other Resources.
00:14:40
Welcome to the final episode of 2021! This episode was a challenge. So much happened in 2021 in relation to spreading awareness of Canine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, making connections, collaborating, and learning about the industry.
I decided to share, in brief, the pitfalls of the industry, which, for those who listen other episodes, know all too well. Through the closed doors I received from influential orgs, I learned a lot about the underlying mechanics of the dog world, which, not surprisingly, function much like other industries - ego, greed and personal agendas rank high.
I took this info and turned it into effective connections and collaborations. In this episode, I introduce you to changemakers whom you may not be aware of because, like myself, they do not follow the industry norm, and they are not afraid to make waves in the better interest of dogs and the people who love them.
I wish you all the best in 2022 and, as always, I appreciate your support and all you do for the pets in your care.
Enjoy Your Learning Journey.
