“Hello!
This isn’t saying anything bad about the podcast itself, but in a few episodes Susan Garret has said that “dogs don’t understand the past tense.” Okay, but one of the instances in which she backed it up is in an episode where she explained the situation of pooping on the floor, and how the dog “wouldn’t know” that it was theirs. They know what they smell like, and with that sniffer they’d recognize their scent.
Furthermore, she explained how she doesn’t use “good sit” or “good down.” To my understanding, pairing it with the noun “good” gives it a rewarding value, and therefore would make sense. This is also what the AKC states to use. And with her explanation, wouldn’t praise with only the use of words like “yes” and/or “good dog” be the same mistake?
Other than that, I really enjoy the podcast and hope to see more people question’s answered, maybe including mine!”
