Treat Everyone Like a Dog

We know that positive training methods work best with our dogs - but could they get the best results with our human friends and family? Trainer and behaviourist Karen London says they do. She has implemented her dog training knowledge in her own life, and says it has benefited her and her children.

But is being positive unfair manipulation? Or is it just being nice to people? Where is the line between bribery and just reward? Karen discusses her book, Treat Everyone Like a Dog: How a Dog Trainer's World View Can Improve Your Life.

You can find more of Karen's advice on The Bark website and on Instagram as karen.london.dog.behaviour.
