Positive Reinforcement Dog Training: Why It’s the Gold Standard with Teoti Anderson

Author: Jessica L. Arrington (Fisher) April 28, 2026 Duration: 57:46

Positive Reinforcement Dog Training: Why It’s the Gold Standard with Teoti Anderson dives into what modern, humane dog training really looks like—and why it works so well in real life. In this episode, Teoti shares how positive reinforcement has evolved over the past few decades, what the science and experience in the field tell us, and why it’s considered the gold standard by leading trainers and behavior pros. We talk through her training programs, real‑world success stories, and some common mistakes well‑meaning pet parents make when trying to “go positive” without a clear plan. I also share a bit about my own dog’s anxiety, and Teoti offers insight into how positive reinforcement can support sensitive, worried dogs without flooding or force. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of what good training actually looks like, what to look for in a trainer, and practical ideas you can start using with your own dog.
