THE CONVERSATION
Episode notes
Michael Ellis and William Chandler-Duff discuss training philosophy, ethical boundaries and the differences between negative reinforcement and punishment.
In this must-listen episode, I sit down with Michael Ellis, one of the most respected and influential dog trainers in the world. With over 40 years of hands-on experience as a competitor, champion, mentor, seminar leader, and founder of the renowned Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers, Michael has shaped the careers of countless trainers and helped many dog owners globally.
We talk about everything from Michael’s training philosophy and where the ethical line in the sand for dog trainers is, to our mutual support for potential scientific exploration of psychedelics used for behaviour modification in dogs, and the functional differences between negative reinforcement and punishment. This is certainly not an episode to miss.
William Chandler-Duff is one of the UK’s most sought-after dog trainers for behaviour modification and advanced functional obedience. He has helped not only dog owners but also dog trainers from around the world in achieving success.
