Sharing stories of force-free dog training journeys with challenging, reactive and aggressive dogs and the impact living with those dogs has on our daily lives and our mental health. I hope that hearing these stories can help to make people feel less alone. We love our dogs to pieces but sometimes it's hard and then it's simply nice to hear from others going through something similar. This podcast is about us trying to teach our dogs, but more importantly, it's about what our dogs are teaching us.Find the show notes at https://kajsavanoverbeek.com/ruff-around-the-edges-podcast/

Send a text A chat at the airfield turns into a round of “I would never…” and sparks this episode on what I call verbal condemnation. From “I’d never rehome my dog” to “My dog would never bite” , these statements often hide fear, not fact. I explore the defense mechanisms behind them, projection, denial, moral high ground, and why they sting so much when directed at us. Awareness isn’t about brushing things off. It’s the first step toward understanding what we’re really afraid of, and deciding what to do with it.

Send a text We say things like “I just want to get the most out of life” all the time, especially when it comes to our dogs, who already feel like they’re on borrowed time. But when you stop to really think about it…what does that even mean? In this episode, I follow that thought down a bit of a rabbit hole. What does it actually mean to maximize life? For ourselves, for our dogs? Is it about time? Love? Impact? And who gets to decide whether we’ve done “enough”? As always, I don’t land on a neat answer, but I do share a different way of looking at things, one that might feel like a bit of a relief if you’ve been chasing this invisible goal of doing everything right . If you’ve ever felt like you’re running out of time but still aren’t sure what you’re supposed to be doing with it… this one’s for you.

Send a text When your work is about helping others, whether it’s animals, people, or both, it can be hard to draw the line between care and self-sacrifice. In this episode, I talk to Gunila Pedersen, a veterinarian who dealt with burnout, left the field, and then returned on her own terms after becoming a coach. We talk about the pressure to be perfect, the weight of euthanasia decisions, what happens when clients can’t afford treatment, and how to live with imperfection in a system that tells you to do it all. How it’s not just about boundaries but about giving yourself permission to be human. For those who need to hear it Gunila talks about the benefits of using situational meds and about preparing for the real thing by practicing fun vet visits. No, (most) vets, don't mind that you do this!! We draw parallels to learning languages, taking hammers to fridges and trying to be God. Whether you’re a dog guardian who feels responsible for your dog’s every mood or a professional in the pet industry who struggles with not being able to help everyone you’ll find something in this conversation that resonates.

Send a text Barbara van Rheenen is illustratrice en woont samen met haar twee witte herders Guzzi en Lupo . Recent schreef en illustreerde ze een boekje over wat daar bij komt kijken. Een boekje met tips over opvoeding, maar ook veel herkenbare anekdotes uit haar eigen leven, en natuurlijk met schitterende illustraties. Het schrijven van "Wittebroodsweken- Houden van je herder" leverder Barbara een hoop nieuwe inzichten op. En daar gaat het in deze aflevering over: - Hoe je je nog steeds flink verraden kan voelen door je hond, ook al weet je wat zijn gedrag veroorzaakt... - Hoe je weet wanneer je jezelf en wanneer je je hond op de eerste plaats moet zetten - Hoe het leven af en toe tussendoor komt en wat je dan doet - Het loslaten van ideeën, zoals dat je hond altijd los moet kunnen lopen - Omgaan met de angst voor een slechte reputatie in de buurt - Hoe Barbara's tweede hond haar liet zien dat ze helemaal niet zo verkeerd bezig was - Of houden van honden niet betekent dat je helemaal geen hond meer moet hebben Je vindt meer over Barbara, haar honden, haar illustraties en haar boekje op: haar website: https://www.barbaravanrheenen.nl/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/barbaravanrheenen/ Heb je een hondenschool of dierenwinkel, of een boekenwinkel en wil je het boekje van Barbara aan kunnen bieden aan je klanten?

Send a text In this episode of Ruff Around the Edges , I explore the power of starting with a "no" to gain clarity on what we truly want. By identifying what we're not willing or able to do, we make it easier to figure out where we want to go — whether it’s choosing how to manage our dog’s behavior or making parenting decisions. I also dive into the importance of listening to your body’s signals to understand when something is a genuine no, and when it’s simply fear trying to hold you back. I give some questions you can ask yourself to differentiate between discomfort that’s protective and discomfort that signals growth, so you can feel more confident you're doing the right thing. If you often find yourself struggling with the fear of disappointing others or second-guessing your choices, this episode will help you shift your perspective. I propose practical ways to honor your own needs while still being mindful of the people (and dogs!) you care about.

Send a text Claire describes such familiar themes. Like what it’s like to look back at how her childhood dogs were treated with the knowledge she has now. How she thought she knew quite a bit about dogs until Ozzy came along. Ozzy was adopted from a charity, who had done a pretty great job preparing prospective adopters for what it’s like to bring a new dog into the home, and yet Claire, like many of us, still underestimated the reality, partly because she adopted Ozzy when he was still a puppy. She talks about how it was particularly hard to be the one spending most of the time with the dog home alone and to feel like her partner was the one who just got to do the fun things with the dog, and how focusing on relaxation protocols was something that helped really well. It had also helped to not walk Ozzy every day and we discuss what it takes to break through the socialization that exists around having to walk your dog every day to be considered a dog guardian. We also talk about how Sarah Stremming and Hannah Brannigan inspired a “shut up and show up” mentality to bring about change in the dog world. About how the one tip Claire has for others is to put less pressure onthemselves: “Noone is going to die.”, and about what allowed her to change careers and move into dog training.

Send a text Warning: this episode references euthanasia What do you do when you have been dealt an emotional blow , and need time to process that, but time is the one thing you don't have? Because you have to get back to work so you can make rent for example? Or because you're parenting small children and you're happy to get 5 minutes of quiet time on the toilet? This episode tries to give some practical tips as to what you can do in situations like that using the low-key of example of getting over a dog training set-back as well as the example of not having been able to rescue a dog from behavioral euthanasia as a dog professional.

Send a text Leah Lykos, a dog behaviorist out of Chattanooga Tennessee and guardian to three dogs, Eva, Biggie, and Mia explains how her focus is on movement and somatic work . That makes sense given that she operates from the philosophy that for dogs even more so than for humans there is no separation of mind and body . We discuss something new to me: resistance feeding . The idea behind resistance feeding is to not control the dog's behavior but to provide an appropriate outlet for it. Everything is always on a spectrum , so we discuss how to know if you're allowing stress to dissipate or adding to the dog's stress. In that same sense of knowing if something is helpful or not, we touch on the concept of your dog as a mirror. When is hurting to see it that way and when is it helping? Leah explains how she differentiates between people who are already so aware of their own stress and so focused on solving for that, that it inhibits them in working with their dog, and people who are so detached from their body and their feelings. that they have no idea they may be projecting onto their dog. From there we dig into the inner work we get to do thanks to our dogs. When you have trouble connecting with your dog , what part of yourself do you have trouble connecting with or accepting? How does understanding your dog help to understand yourself? How do we regulate our own nervous system? Leah explains that it is her daily work to figure out how she can stay passionate about what she's doing, without getting completely wrapped up in every single case.

Send a text [The audio of this episode is a bit wonky, but I hope you'll put up with it because the content is great] Matilda is a canine coach who creates all the things she wishes she would have had available when working with her dog Nala for her clients. We talk about how Rafiki, her second dog, helped her grow into the person she is now. (and what on earth possessed her to get a second dog after having a first dog who was Ruff Around the Edges) When you listen to the episode you'll be blown away by her transformation and her approach to life. Imagine being startled by barking... and ending up working with dogs. We talk about the constant state of dysregulation living in a home with inter-dog aggression brings. About the toll living with an aggressive dog takes on a relationship. About what it takes to set boundaries with your loved ones and strangers. About learning to love life without regrets. About how freeing it is to have like-minded people by your side. And so much more.

Send a text How does a UK national end up a dog (and other animals) trainer in Dubai? Just listening to Aimee's backstory will have you in awe of the way she has stayed true to herself making big life decisions. We talk about how she tries to make clients feel like they can share everything with her as a trainer so that they don't have to hide their feelings and frustration. We discuss how breed stereotypes and other assumptions may prevent us from recognizing our dogs are in pain. Are poodles simply fussy eaters or is there an underlying problem with their teeth causing them pain when they eat? What about the disappointment we feel when our dog's behavior seems to relapse? What can we do? Should we try something new or go back to basics?

Send a text This episode is for you if you identify as a perfectionist . Simply talking with Aga, the short version for Agnieszka about the concept of errorless learning has given me another way to look at perfectionism and how it can (often but not always) be unhelpful. Aga talks about training behaviors to fluency which is different from perfection, and about the benefits of playing by someone else's rules now and then, just to get you out of your comfort zone. She will have you completely rethink the idea of "just one more repetition" and "ending on a win". Not just that. What about extinction and frustration? Do we need frustration or can we skip it? Aga also blew my mind by giving me a way of looking at resilience completely differently. What if resilience, the ability to bounce back, isn't an innate trait? What if it simply amounts to having a big enough skillset to be able to handle errors? And since skills can be taught, what if you could teach resilience? Errorlessly? With minimal frustration? How does this apply to humans ? How does she apply it in her personal life and her business ? And of course, we chat about Agnieszka's new book, the Animal Trainer's Comprehensive Handbook.

Send a text Als Ninke Luka adopteert heeft hij al twee jaar lang in een Russisch asiel gezeten. Eenmaal thuis in Belgisch Limburg durft hij niet eens binnen te komen, zo ontzettend moet hij wennen aan zijn nieuwe leven. Goedbedoelde adviezen als "da's een een scheper, die moet u wel bezig houden" blijken voor Luka helemaal niet te werken. Ninke vertelt over de omzwervingen die haar uiteindelijk naar Daniëlla van Paws in Touch leiden en wat haar overtuigde om toch nog weer meer geld in training te steken. Althans, het belangrijkste voor Luka blijkt om helemaal niet te "trainen", maar om juist in te zetten op rust. Als later blijkt dat Luka weer achteruit gaat, vertrouwt Ninke het niet. Ze vermoedt dat er pijn in het spel kan zijn. Eerste röntgen foto's laten "slechts" een milde heupdysplasie aan één heup zien. Gelukkig gaat Ninke af op haar eigen intuïtie en laat ze verder onderzoek doen. Luka blijkt gruwelijk pijn te hebben van een zware hernia. Ondertussen is ook Ellie bij het gezin gekomen. Wat heeft Ninke anders gedaan bij Ellie? Heeft ze op andere dingen gelet? Wat maakte dat ze het aandurfde er nog een tweede hond bij te nemen? En last but not least, wat zou ze andere hondenbaasjes als advies mee willen geven?

Send a text Beating yourself up about being stuck in the "I kind of want to change, but I can't get myself to change, so I must not want the change bad enough" is one of the most counterproductive ways to talk to yourself. Change isn't all about action. It starts with you (and your dog) just living your life (or lives), followed by as much time as necessary to consider if there is something you want to change and how. Change is also about falling back into old patterns and trying again. When you come to that realization, you can stop beating yourself up for not changing, or for falling off the change-wagon. How can you "not be changing" after all, when you are living the very definition of change? How can you have fallen off the change-wagon, if falling off is part of change? In this episode, I relate the phases of change to life with our dogs and life in general. Hopefully, it's another way for you to look at things that allows you to start training your dog the way you want, or to make that change in your self-care routine, to quit that job and become a dog trainer. You name it.

Send a text If you follow any kind of dog related social media, then you will know Georgie, where she posts under the handle @trickwoofs. You will have seen the lovely whimsical cartoons she draws about life with a reactive dog, which are so extremely on point they always make me laugh. A particular cartoon comes to mind that has the guardian and their dog navigating the urban jungle that is the city, James Bond style, ducking behind walls and sneaking around corners, all in an attempt to avoid triggers. The topics we discuss are as diverse as Georgie’s interests. We talk about compassion fatigue in the dog training world, the parallels to raising a human child, learning to love frustration, following your passion and almost feeling like you’re not worthy of it, and so much more. Did you know, Georgie transitioned from a modeling career to dog training? Many people wanting to make a career switch in life will recognize the little voice that Georgie describes. The one that asks the question: Could I really be worthy of making a living doing the thing I love? I ask Georgie about compassion fatigue in the dog world and the dog rescue world in particular. She describes it as no longer feeling anything when you know you should be feeling something. It’s like the body shuts down to all emotions. The question becomes. How does one prevent or overcome it? Georgie’s short answer is by finding community and talking about it! To not believe that there is some kind of limit below which it is no longer okay to ask for help. She also recommends finding what works for you when it comes to doing a bodily reset. For her it’s yoga and breathwork, but for someone it might be boxing or rock climbing. We talk about allowing emotions in ours dogs and ourselves similar to what we do with our children and not feeling the pressure to of needing to respond to something. And of course, we talk about her art, and her other project which is the development of a treat dispensing muzzle. What keeps her going? What allows her to press pause when needed? What has she learned about failure and also: How DOES she manage to combine all the things she does (and she does a LOT)?

Send a text Does your partner brush off your dog's reaction like it was nothing? Don't they understand the concept op threshold and the importance of limiting reactions? It's enough to make you fume! What could be going on on their end though? Is your partner shouting at the dog? Do you so want to get in their face and tell them that's not acceptable? What could they be going through? Are people telling you to stay calm, because it's your anxiety that is making the vet visits problematic for your dog? What could be behind them saying this? No you can never know what another person's thinking, and yet there are instances when it can come in useful to at least guess at it. Doing so can help you regulate your own emotions, come up with an appropriate response both in the moment and at a later time, and it can drastically reduce arguments and fights.

Send a text This 50th jubilee episode of Ruff Around the Edges is in Dutch! Come back next episode for more English language content. [Waarschuwing: Rond de 20 minuten horen we Thiseas even blaffen] Maak kennis met Isabelle, het baasje van Thiseas, een adoptiehond uit Griekenland Na een stressvolle start in het leven (Thiseas wordt met 6 weken met een gebroken pootje langs de weg gevonden en nadien ook nog met het vliegtuig naar zij nieuwe thuis vervoerd) is al snel duidelijk dat Thiseas meer nodig heeft dan de “hij moet het maar leren”-aanpak. Isabelle vertelt hoe ze echt leerde kijken naar wie haar hond was, wie zij was en wat ze samen konden doen waar ze allebei lol aan hadden. Eén van de dingen die Isabelle noemt is iets, dat ik nog niet vaak zo mooi expliciet heb horen benoemen. Ze vertelt dat we als mens al gauw geneigd zijn om te kijken naar wat de hond moeilijk vindt en ons daar dan qua training op te focussen, terwijl het juist heel positief kan zijn op iets compleet anders te trainen, iets waar de hond en jij plezier uit halen. Dat zorgt voor meer zelfvertrouwen in de hond draagt zo op indirecte wijze bijdraagt aan verbetering van het “probleem”. Zo voorkom je de frustratie die vaak bij beide partijen ontstaat door alleen op het probleemgedrag te trainen. Wat ze ook heel duidelijk maakt is dat je op je buikgevoel moet vertrouwen. Als je zelf doorhebt dit werkt niet en je dat ook constant voelt, vertrouw er dan ook op. Dan het thema “andere mensen” en hoe die met je hond omgaan. Hoe laat je de frustratie los rondom het niet opvolgen van je instructie? Wat als je al 100 keer aan je familie hebt gevraagd om geen oogcontact met je hond te maken als ze binnekomen? En ze doen het gewoon niet? Hoe zorg je dat je dat je niet gek laat maken? Isabelle legt uit welk inzicht haar daar veel geholpen heeft. Hoe ze heeft geleerd om geen probleem meer te hebben met kritiek van anderen. Wat doe je met ongevraagd advies? De kracht van het omgaan met gelijkgestemden en het belang om je eigen twijfels te kunnen delen met anderen komt ook aan bod, net als het schuldgevoel als je eens voor jezelf en niet voor je hond kiest. Ook daar vertelt Isabelle hoe ze dat oppakt. Verder komt het topic van medicatie voorbij. Juist een podcast aflevering van Ruff Around the Edges (die met Annie Phenix) tipte Isabelle om op tijd contact op te nemen met een gedragsdeskundige toen ze zag dat Thiseas begon te fixeren op reflecties. Medicatie laat hem juist meer zichzelf zijn in plaats van minder. Als laatste hebben we het ook nog over “adopt, don’t shop” in het licht van de flinke rugzak die adoptiehonden soms met zich meedragen.

Send a text If only you knew you would get there in the end, then the setbacks wouldn't be so hard to bear. If you just had someone who could guarantee you that, yes, your dog's going to go after a couple more cyclists and there will be 4 more periods of regression, but for sure 100% guaranteed they're going to get there, then that would probably make it easier to deal with the hard times, wouldn't it? Knowing that spring is coming makes it easier to get through the winter (well, the winters in my neck of the wood at least, which aren't "great" in my opinion). So how can we bottle a bit of that thinking and use it to our benefit? That's what this episode is about.
