Ep265 - Sliding scales of reactivity & confidence building: Calem Dunphy of K9 Kuriosity

This episode, we sit down with Calem from K9 Kuriosity for a deep dive into the realities of working with reactive dogs and the owners guiding them. We cover his concept of the sliding scales and how owners can better understand thresholds, triggers, and progression when addressing reactivity. Calem shares his approach to building true confidence and resilience in dogs, what it actually looks like beyond the buzzwords, and how trainers can help dogs develop steadiness in real-world environments. We also talk about the dog-training industry itself: pathways in, what new trainers should expect, and what it really takes to build skill and longevity in the field.
