This episode is a 3/3 on the dog geekery scale.Jay helps me untangle the learning theoretical sense of the quadrants from the colloquial use of the word punishment ... and so much more! One of countless take-aways in a sentence: always ask myself if I'm using "punishment" as a synonym of "diminishment" when talking about learning theory!

This (PH) episode is a 2/3 on the canine nerd level scale. Caden talks about an interesting phenomenon he has observed in his students lately: the one-truth myth or the tendency to find a trainer to look up to, and try to do everything exactly the way they do it. What happens if, years later, there's another trainer with a different truth?

2025/03/18

Caden and Anna talk about the seminar they met at and how it feels to have financially supported someone we don't politically agree with, but deeply respect as a dog trainer. The broader question becomes: how do we balance spending money on education (or other things), and financially supporting who we (all of us, including you, the listener!) believe most "deserves" or merits our support in terms of purchasing their goods or services. Hint: it's not an easy answer at all.Get in

This episode is a 2/3 on the canine nerd level scale.Caden has been curious whether what people in a certain little slice of the dog world will often claim - an ethical breeder will at best break even when they sell a puppy between 1000 and 3000 USD - is true. They kept track of their expenses along the adventure of raising Game's litter to get closer to the answer. Get in touch with Caden: caden.cristopher [at]
