In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking to Amanda Matoske, a professional dog trainer based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Amanda shares her journey from Upstate New York to starting a fun-focused dog training business aimed at enhancing the bond between owners and their pets through enjoyable activities rather than stringent training routines.
She introduces the concept of natural dog training, learned from Kevin Behan, emphasizing a mutually beneficial relationship between dogs and their owners rather than dominance or control.
Amanda explains how natural dog training leverages the instincts and emotions (= energy in motion) of dogs, using intention without reservation to achieve obedience and cooperation through understanding and empathy rather than fear or dominance.
And she shares practical tips for dealing with common challenges such as dog reactivity.
To explore Natural Dog Training, get a copy of Kevin Behan's book 'Your Dog is Your Mirror' and various online platforms for direct engagement with natural dog training professionals.
