Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys
We're your sassy hosts, Dr. Amy L. Pike and Dr. Amy Learn, A.K.A...THE AMYS! As Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorists, we understand the challenges of pet guardianship. Every day we diagnose and treat behavior problems. And, every day we help pets and their people navigate the sea of confusing, misleading, and downright false information swirling around on the internet and social media.
We provide clinical insight into underlying causes of behavior problems, make cynical sense of nonsense, disprove myths, and promote positive, trusting human/animal relationships.
We're dedicated to modern, science-based intervention without the use of pain, fear, force, or intimidation. It is our mission to drive comprehensive pet wellness to the forefront of veterinary medicine and mainstream pet culture. JOIN US and the HIVE MIND, to set the record straight on the hottest and most controversial topics we encounter as clinicians, educators, and guardians.
Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys
The Dog Whisper of Death
No toxic masculinity here! Only good old fashioned, non-confrontational, reward-based dog training. In this episode, The Amys are joined by world-renowned dog trainer and advocate, Zak George, to discuss the current state of affairs in the dog training industry. They tackle tough topics like why people are drawn to punitive methods and tools, whether the training industry should be regulated, and how to ensure dog training certification is accessible to those with limited financial means if regulation is enacted. Zak updates listeners about what he has on the horizon for the rest of 2024 and beyond!
