Dominance, weaning and socialization

I was recently invited for an interview for Radio Tacoma’s series Ain’t Misbehaving with Dr Louisa Beal, a veterinarian with a special interest in behaviour.

In this discussion, we talk about:

  • how people interested in dogs might still learn something from someone who’s not a dog owner (though I cover this paradox in more detail here)
  • the difference between jealousy and resource guarding
  • how people often misunderstand the dominance concept
  • my thoughts on how we go about weaning our pets
  • do we need to do any “socialization” at all?

Find the Ain’t Misbehaving archive here!

I write the occasional blog post (or, as in this case, share discussions or webinars), offer free Masterclasses, do silly experiments, and run rather massive online courses, all on the topic of animal learning, behaviour and wellbeing! If you want me to keep you posted on all of the above, just sign up below!
