Summary
Why train a dog in Dutch—and could “hamburger” really be a command?
In Kidversations Episode 21, Remi welcomes Carla Stroud and junior dog trainer Jaxon Anderson for a conversation about working dogs, puppy training, scent tracking, and what it takes to become a K9 trainer.
Carla explains why she uses Dutch commands, what motivates different dogs, and why learning never stops. Jaxon describes how dogs follow a missing person’s scent, shares how he started training, and demonstrates equipment including a tug, bite sleeve, and a leash he made himself.
Carla also shares a personal story about her dog Cinco reacting when someone experienced a seizure.
Expect curious questions, unexpected answers, and a command-word mix-up that sounds a lot like “hot dog”!
