About This Podcast

Dogs have been human’s most trusted companions since time immemorial. These lovely creatures bring comfort, security, and playfulness to our lives. But when they misbehave and get out of control, it drives many dog owners crazy. If you don’t know how to handle your canine companion, join Doug Poynter to achieve Better (Dog) Behavior Now! This show is for individuals whose dogs struggle with various behavior issues. Whether you have a rescue, mixed breed, purebred or working dog, Doug solves and fixes aggressive barking, nipping, biting, and more serious matters like signs of fearfulness and anxiety. Seeing animals in these conditions is difficult, so you want to do anything to correct them. Do not wait for them to worsen. Get real and raw advice right here. Listen as Doug discusses practical ways to address your dog’s behavior problems. He has been studying and solving these issues for more than 25 years. Thanks to his vast experience, he knows the cutting-edge scientific techniques that create an easy-to-live-with dog. Doug ditches the old-school command and training, alpha dominance that's proven inaccurate and ineffective. Many years ago, after following these outdated strategies to address his dog's behavior problems, they led to more issues than solutions. This difficult situation inspired Doug to study behavior modification techniques that quickly helped his dog. Instead of rough training, he found success through an enlightened and caring approach. Doug brings this unparalleled knowledge to the podcast, combined with a compassionate heart ready to make animals better. Doug does not permit himself to be limited to a single solution. Instead, he focuses on customized training carefully targeted to a dog’s unique behavioral problem. This ensures that everything he does is centered around love and respect. Doug puts the animal’s psychology and motivation above everything else. In addition to conversations about dogs, Doug sheds light on what it takes to become a responsible pet parent. He emphasizes the human role in a dog’s successful rehabilitation. Learn what you can do to elevate your relationship with your dog, how your daily habits affect their attitude, and how to keep these animals healthy. Essentially, you are getting your own training too, not just the dog's. Doug invites his colleagues and friends with a similar mindset to the podcast. They share the ups and downs of solving a dog’s behavior problem. Guests detail the approaches they have tried and the valuable lessons every dog owner should know. Furthermore, Doug dissects case studies from his real-life clients. These nuggets of wisdom are invaluable advice you will not find anywhere else. Delve into the lessons every episode has to offer. Become a responsible owner who will not let their dog suffer any longer. This show honors the mysterious connection with dogs and how to use it to solve their behavioral problems. If one person in the world can resolve nonstop barking or uneasiness, you can. Equip yourself with the right knowledge to make this possible in the most loving, respectful ways. Listen to Better (Dog) Behavior Now at https://betterdogbehaviornow.com/.
