Pawareness Podcast # 35 | Fear-Free Animal Trainer | Brett Reynolds

On this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, we welcome Brett Reynolds, Head Dog Trainer at The Dog Stop, a dog care facility offering daycare, boarding, grooming, training, and a retail store. Brett talks about the training services they provide and how the animal training industry, as well as training strategies and techniques, have changed over time.
Brett explains common training mistakes dog owners make, why you might want to enroll your dog in an enrichment program rather than daycare, and his candid thoughts on how long it takes to train dogs.
“Although there’ve been new discoveries, the way dogs learn hasn’t changed. I think people’s perceptions and people’s expectations, owning a dog, is vastly different than it was even five years ago.”       - Brett Reynolds
