The Unbalancing Dog Training Podcast

Episode 9 (Classical vs. Operant Conditioning)

Welcome back to the Unbalancing Dog Training Podcast, where we challenge conventional wisdom and explore the nuances of modern dog training.
In today’s episode, hosts Mike Purcell CPDT-KSA, and Dylan Anderson CPDT-KA, dive into the science behind Classical vs. Operant Conditioning—two fundamental learning theories that shape how dogs (and humans) understand the world.
What’s the difference between the two? How do they influence behavior modification, training techniques, and real-world problem-solving? Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or just starting your journey, this episode will help you harness the power of both approaches to create more effective, ethical, and rewarding training experiences.
Tune in for insightful discussion, practical applications, and a few myth-busting moments! 🎙🐾
