A no-nonsense approach to dog training, so you never have to yell, "It's OK, he's friendly!"


In this show, hosts Jack Laurence (dog owner and training enthusiast) and Max O'Neil (accredited dog trainer and behaviour expert) from Down Under Dog Trainer discuss everything about the world of dogs and dog training.


When you open social media today, you can’t go far without finding a ‘dog trainer’—and everyone has their own strong opinions on what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’. In this podcast, we take a balanced approach to the subject, looking at training methods from both sides of the fence and giving you the right tools to have the perfect companion you've always dreamed of.


Whats veen better is the only fluff here is from the dogs! as we get straight to point on all the important topics that matter to you!

  • Reactive, Not Aggressive: Understanding Why Your Dog Reacts

    Reactive, Not Aggressive: Understanding Why Your Dog Reacts
    Jun 25 2026

    If your dog lunges at other dogs on lead, barks at the postie, or loses the plot at the sight of a skateboard, you're not alone, and your dog isn't bad. They're reactive, and that's a very different thing.


    In this episode, Jack and Max unpack one of the most misunderstood behaviours in dog ownership. Max walks through the different types of reactivity, from fear-based and frustration-based to leash reactivity, barrier reactivity, and over-arousal, explaining what each one actually looks like and why dogs end up there in the first place.


    You'll learn how to spot the early warning signs before your dog tips over threshold, the common triggers most owners overlook, and why punishment usually makes things worse.


    Whether you're living with a reactive dog or just want to understand what's happening when you see one on the street, this episode will give you the tools to look at reactive behaviour with fresh eyes, and a lot more empathy.
