Chad Mackin: (under-utilized) leash communication
Episode description
Where Matthias sits down (sadly, without Lauren) with the philosophical Chad Mackin to talk about leash communication.
Also, the importance of escape hatches when pushing close to thresholds, gentle communication pressure vs revenge pressure in training, and the power of letting learners think that their behaviour change is their idea and not something you imposed on them - whether dog, horse, or human.
