Socialization & Familiarization Class!

It's here! My new course is open for enrollment!

This is a Karen Pryor Academy LIVE course that lets me geek out enthusiastically about a cause I'm invested in -- using socialization and familiarization properly to give dogs the best chance at fitting into human society and becoming fantastic family members and/or workers.

The course is entirely online, in both pre-recorded lessons and real-time discussion and feedback. Enrollment is available with coaching for your own training (Excel) or auditing with discussion access (Engage).

(Socialization is for the specific socialization period of brain development; after that narrow window, the process is familiarization. We'll talk about both!)

Is Online Dog Training Effective? Will It Help My Dog?

Does online dog training work? I often get asked why I continue to do online dog behavioural support sessions, even though the lockdowns have long ago ended. When online dog training took off.

if anyone needs help identifying things that can become moral scrupulosity OCD obsessions/compulsions, heres a list of some i've experienced:

rereading your posts/texts over and over

checking your notes and/or followers list frequently to "make sure" bad actors aren't interacting with you

checking OP's blog before interacting with posts

compulsively opening a social media tab to look at your notifs and then closing it, over and over

fearing ways that things you say/do (or don't do) could be taken in bad faith. being anxious that your words/actions will be misconstrued as morally wrong, bigoted, rude, or aggressive

feeling guilty or obsessing over whether you should or shouldn't have reblogged a post

feeling like you aren't "allowed" to disengage from online discourse or unfollow people who post it

fearing you're being stalked, talked about, or called out behind your back. fearing you'll never be forgiven and that people might even celebrate your disappearance or death, even though you havent done anything wrong

searching your own name/username to see if anyone is actually talking about you

imagining defenses you would make against nonexistent heinous accusations or arguments against you, to prove that you didnt do it

feeling like you have to roll over and become a doormat when others are cruel to you, because it could cause strife if you do anything other than grovel or apologize

having trouble enforcing your own boundaries out of fear that they are somehow "wrong" or unethical

ending up surrounded by people who have all the "right opinions" but are super mean and unpleasant, and make you feel like you have to walk on eggshells

fearing that just HAVING moral ocd makes you a bad person somehow (for example, i often fear that having moral ocd is somehow pushing a 'stranger danger' or misanthropist agenda, even though i actually have a lot of faith in my fellow humans)

some of these bullet points are not inherently bad on their own, but if you find yourself having this kind of anxiety very often, that's not normal, and it's time to get offline or even seek professional help if it's impacting your life

this list is catered to how online culture influences moral scrupulosity, it is not indicative of how everybody's moral scrupulosity functions, and it is not exhaustive

I get a lot of asks about training advice and I'm always like "well I am not a professional in any capacity" and also I forget every book I have ever read etc the moment someone asks me, but I remembered at random today that my very talented friend has written a really amazing training book that I think would be especially good for the people who tend to ask me this, bc Bridger has ADHD (LIKE DO MANY OF US) and is therefore really good at breaking things down into digestible chunks! this is one of the things I find most challenging about training so I think this is an extra valuable thing to have in a book.

It's mostly training basics for people who are beginners, but in a way where you can use the info the build a LOT of skills once you grasp the basics, and I really vibe with Bridger's ethics around training as well.

it's called Level Up Your Dog Training by Natalie Bridger Watson and I'm going to provide a couple different links where you can get it.

Amazon link:

Support a small business link:

(Bridger adds: "Also for accessibility, there is a large print paperback edition (Amazon only) and a digitally-narrated audiobook (Google Play only, trying to get it available more places). Am aware of the ethical implications of AI narration and would like to replace this with a human-narrated version when I can, but that costs $1,000-$2,000+ to hire out, so the not-ideal compromise is digitally-narrated for accessibility in the short term with plans to do better when I can.")

Anyway this is a really great book and not recommended as often as it should be bc it's just not one of the standard go-to books (yet!!!) so I thought I would plug it and in doing so answer all the training rec asks I get all the time and am so bad at answering 🤣

"well what are YOU doing with your dogs??" vibin, sir

[thebumblingbee]

Okay friends. Say you were getting a puppy for the very very first time and didn't know much about dogs or dog training. What are some topics you would like to learn about in an online class?

This can be anything from teaching them how to sit or stay, or nutrition, or how to socialize them, etc.

When I got my dog, because I was working as a dog trainer and had a lot of pressure on me there to preform well, and because she is a “difficult” breed, I felt ENORMOUS pressure to be like the best dog owner ever and best trainer ever and make her perfect. I had panic attacks from guilt and anxiety that I wasn’t doing enough with her. And I worked my ass off, but the training place I worked at was horrible and taught me horrible, stupid things and I made a lot of mistakes with her. But she still ended up so wonderful, even if theres some shit I fucked up with her.

So its like… I always am aware I miiiight be projecting some of that guilt and insecurity about how I raised my own dog onto others, but I genuinely cannot understand when other people have barely any drive to learn to train their dogs, even in a way thats just for the dog’s benefit (like say, desensitizing them to grooming and vet visits). Its almost physically painful to me when someone keeps bringing their puppy that is Horrific for nail trims in to the vet to have us force the dog to let us do it, when the dog is at a critical age where they have the best odds of turning them around and learning cooperative care. And like I get it cooperative care is so damn time and patience consuming especially with a dog thats already adverse to something, and im not perfect with it and its one think i regret neglecting to do more with my puppy, but my god nothing is worse than watching cute little german shepherds knowing theyre going to devolve into little monsters at the vet that need 3 ppl to hold them down for nail trims (which lol is another issue I just have in general that I dont think we should be doing that at the vet, but thats not my choice lmao).

I just. Dont understand why we are city people out here getting australian shepherds, shiba inus, huskies and german shepherds and shit and not doing like. Anything with them. Then throwing them at already overworked grooming and vet professionals like “good luck.” Like if u got ur dog as an adult thats one thing (but still not always a lost cause) but ppl with puppies… try? A little? Like ur GONNA fuck up with your first dog, I sure did. But like most ppl are not Trying, at least not hard enough. It is nottt normalized enough and education is not out there enough how to properly desensitize your dog to things and do basic socialization. And not enough people realize this needs to start DAY ONE of bringing home your 8 wk or however old puppy, not waiting til 8 months later when they have major issues (bc all teenage dogs are assholes but its so much worse if they have no good foundations as a puppy). I dont even give af if ur dog can walk on a leash, just like maybe help them not think theyre being murdered when someone holds them in a light restraint or touches their feet

urg. multiple DTIMA (dog trainers in my area) of various sides of the training debate are holding jor/pulling sport seminars and guess who has experience in these sports??? none of them.

[doggirl-bathtime]

Do you have a dedicated guide to brainwashing? I'm afraid i can't buy the book on dog training right now, and I know it won't be 1:1 psychologically, plus, your tidbits of info from personal experience was nice to have!

No guide to brainwashing right now, but maybe I'll write one eventually. I think it's also harder to give a concise beginners guide to brainwashing in the format of tumblr post. I would recommend sleepingirl's book on Brainwashing over the dog books if that's more your interest.
