About this listen
Does your dog actually "love" you, or are they just fulfilling a biological need? In this episode of The Doggie Stoic Podcast, Andrew sits down with veteran K9 officer and trainer Paul Connolly to discuss the uncomfortable realities of the dog training industry.
With over 26 years of experience in law enforcement and dog training, Paul shares unfiltered insights into the recent "civil war" within the industry, offering a seasoned perspective on the Dylan Jones vs. Robert Cabral controversy. We dive deep into why "love" is often a trap that prevents rehabilitation, the critical importance of "Conditioned Relaxation" for high-drive dogs, and why Paul completely overhauled his business model from Board & Trains to Day Training to survive burnout.
