School For The Dogs Podcast

The Netflix docu-series Bad Vegan is about the owner of a raw food restaurant (which happened to be located on Annie's street) who was conned out of millions of dollars by a narcissistic sociopath who claimed he could make her dog immortal. The story leads Annie to think aloud about how genius manipulators use coercion, punishment and classical conditioning in order to get the behaviors they want from their victims. While many of their techniques do not constitute “good” dog training, we can draw parallels between how they create positive associations in others to make themselves appear trustworthy. Can we do the same to build our dogs’ confidence? Also: Should we trust our pets to be good judges of character in potential partners? Annie offers her answer. --- Bad Vegan on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/81470938 Inventing Anna on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/81008305 Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 84 | Sociopaths as dog trainers, Negative Reinforcement at NXIVM & how to train humans to
