In Part 2 of our conversation with Chad Mackin, we delve deeper into the nuances of dog training methodologies and the role of language in shaping the industry’s future. We discuss the significance of continued education for dog trainers and ways to stay informed and up-to-date in this ever-evolving field, where language plays a crucial part.

Chad shares his experiences with various dog training tools and the importance of using them responsibly and ethically. He also touches on how social media caused some concerns for him and how he managed that for himself, emphasising the role of language in addressing these issues.

We also explore the role of collaboration and mentorship within the dog training community, as Chad highlights the value of learning from one another and fostering a supportive environment for growth and development. Language plays a key role in facilitating this process. Pat and Glenn weigh in on the discussion, sharing their thoughts on the importance of a strong network of like-minded trainers who prioritise animal welfare and ethical practices, all whilst being mindful of the language used in the industry.
