Session 96: Interview with Vermont Dog Trainer Ian Grant
In today’s episode I sit down with Ian Grant, a fellow dog trainer with Vermont Dog Training, based (of course) in Vermont! Ian also has a podcast called Vermont Dog Trainer Show. Ian has a really interesting story before he became a trainer, having been a professional golfer for a number of years before finding that the world of training dogs was a fascinating study. He shares his story of watching The Dog Whisperer and following some of Cesar Millan’s shows with the sound off to get a better feel for the body language between a trainer and the dog.
Ian’s Background and Training Techniques
Ian has a really interesting story before he became a trainer, having been a professional golfer for a number of years before finding that the world of training dogs was a fascinating study. He shares his story of watching The Dog Whisperer and following some of Cesar Millan’s shows with the sound off to get a better feel for the body language between a trainer and the dog.
Ian and I talk about his dogs Lula and Maddie, and how they became so important in the process of boarding other animals. We get into a bit of a deeper dive in the concept and practice of dog’s behavior in crowds, our collective take on dog parks, and what you might want to think about before venturing into the park yourself.
Referral Program and Your Feedback About Mini Episodes
I also wanted to let you know about our new referral program! After quite a bit of testing it’s finally ready to roll out. I’ll explain who might be eligible, and you can decide if it’s something you’d like to participate in. You can complete a form at our affiliate page to learn more.
I’ve been contemplating whether or not to introduce some “mini” episodes that are with clients and dog owners that have some specific questions about there pet concerns. Would you like to hear these or participate in them? The plan is to create a few of these that are about 20-30 minutes. Contact me to let me know what you think or to participate!
