Dog Training Revolution: The Podcast
This show is about dogs, but it’s also about you: who you are, what you value, and how you live with those around you. The way we treat our dogs exposes our deepest assumptions about the world. It reveals the ideas we carry about power and control, autonomy and liberation. Every time we ask our dogs for obedience, we’re expressing beliefs about relationships, authority, and what it means to care for another being. But what if we questioned those beliefs? This podcast invites you to imagine a different way forward, where training is about connection instead of control, and understanding instead of obedience. The way we interact with our dogs is inseparable from how we relate to our communities, our culture, and the wider systems we inhabit - and shifting one relationship can transform them all. Dog Training Revolution: The Podcast Hosted by Zak & Bree George with incredible special guests.

What is going on at the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)?
The lack of awareness and professionalism coming from this organization is becoming impossible to ignore.
Here are just some of the mounting concerns:
• A president publicly endorsing shock collars contradicting AVMA’s own stance, the global behavior science consensus, and basic animal-welfare principles.
• A refusal to acknowledge the One Health catastrophes...
A major shift just hit the dog training world, and it affects every family with a dog.
The new Joint Standards of Practice were released, bringing together the leading organizations in our field under one clear message: fear-, pain-, and intimidation-based training has no place in modern, professional work.
Noticeably missing from the list is the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.
After months of refusing to...
