Therapy Tails - 48 - Can you 'fix' something in just one session?

(please note these episodes are recorded chats in Starbucks so may have more background noise than a usual podcast)

Dawn Walton, a human therapist, and Jess Probst, a dog behaviourist discuss pathways and brain rewiring again - it's a favourite subject of ours. We talk about the different approaches to dog trainining - positive only, force free, balanced, and if one size can fit all.

We talk about pattern interrupts and how the same process works in dogs and humans. First interrupt the pathway (existing behaviour) and then create a different pathway (new behaviour). We can use tapping for this in humans and Dawn explains how. We can use haptics like and ecollar to do this with dogs.

This leads to the inevitable conversation about punishment vs praise.

Finally we talk about "one session" interventions for dogs and humans. Can they really work?

Warning - we leave you with a cliffhanger at the end and you'll have to listn to the next episode to learn more.
