  • Jay Jack on Dog Training — Emotional Control, Clarity Over Structure, and the Layered Stress Model
    Feb 9 2026

    In the premiere episode of Doggie Stoic, Andrew Goldberg sits down with legendary dog trainer Jay Jack to explore the intersection between stoicism, emotional intelligence, and effective dog training. Together they unpack why clarity—not structure—is the key to a dog’s freedom, how emotions shape both canine and human behavior, and the revolutionary “layered stress model” that reframes reactivity and aggression at their root cause.

    From stoic philosophy to real-world stories of transformation, this conversation bridges the art of living calmly with the science of training skillfully. A must-listen for any dog owner or trainer seeking depth, not just technique.

  • The "Love" Trap: Paul Connolly on K9 Reality, Burnout, and True Fulfillment
    Feb 5 2026

    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.

    Has the dog training industry lost its way? Andrew sits down with Dylan Jones on The Doggie Stoic Podcast to address the explosive fallout from Robert Cabral’s recent "cancer in the industry" allegations.

    This isn't just about an online argument—it’s a deep dive into the ethics, transparency, and future of behavior rehabilitation. In this conversation, Dylan breaks down why he believes the industry has replaced actual training skill with "social credit" and virtue signaling. From the "phantom" social media posts to the standard of evidence required to rehabilitate dangerous dogs, we explore the growing divide between balanced trainers and the "force-free" movement.
