Ep288 - Beyond the training methods with Sean O'Shea

In this episode of Life With Your Dog, Panos sits down with renowned dog trainer Sean O'Shea, founder of The Good Dog Way, for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about the current state of the dog training industry.

Sean has been making waves on social media with his reaction videos, challenging misinformation, questionable training advice and the increasingly popular force-free narrative.

Together, we explore the growing divide between balanced and force-free training, the importance of boundaries, accountability and consequences, and why common sense seems to be disappearing from conversations about dog behaviour.

We also discuss the role of corrections, the dangers of humanising dogs, the realities of rehabilitating serious behavioural issues, and where balanced trainers themselves can improve.

This isn't about picking sides for the sake of an argument. It's about questioning popular narratives, challenging misinformation and encouraging dog owners to think critically about the advice they're receiving.

Whether you're a dog owner or professional trainer, this is a conversation worth hearing.
