Our DogsThat YouTube Channel is brought to you by Susan Garrett and her Team. Leading educators of owners of family pet dogs, dog sport competitors and dog trainers. Susan was one of the very first dog trainers to share knowledge online. Susan has helped hundreds of thousands of people enjoy a great relationship with their dogs through her workshops and keynote speaking around the world, award winning books, DVDs, magazine articles, blog posts, podcasts, free dog training and dog agility video series, and online dog training programs.

Susan is world-renowned for her innovative game-based positive reinforcement training that is grounded in the science of animal behaviour. A life long learner, Susan has been at the cutting edge of online education development since 2008 with her popular classroom Recallers. We are planning even more sharing, education and fun here on our Dogs That YouTube page!

Taste Bud Trivia! 🍖👅

Dogs have around 1,700 taste buds, compared to humans’ 2,000–10,000. While they don’t have as many taste buds as we do, they certainly make up for it with enthusiasm for food! 🍲 🐕

✨ What’s your dog’s favorite treat? Let us know in the comments! 🗨️

Reinforcement training is intentional, strategic, and so much more than food in a hand.

Most people are missing the real picture, don’t be one of them!
