So I look at, okay, snakes, good sense of smell, which is even better than we thought.

So obviously I could introduce the smell of food, right?

Which you could do with a dog.

Or I could introduce, like, one thing that tends to work really well for certain species is like lavender and herbs and stuff like that

seems to be kind of like get them going and interested.

Hey there, fellow training nerds. You're listening to drinking from the toilet.

And I'm your host, Hannah Branigan, teacher, trainer, podcaster, and, as you probably

know by now, author of the book, Awesome Obedience, and his companion, Awesome Obedience,

The Field Guide, which you can get

both, either one, from clickertraining.com. Anytime you like, delivered right to your house

for your dog training convenience. So this week, I'm really excited to bring this conversation

to you. It was kind of a spontaneous thing, and those often turn out to be

the coolest, the coolest episodes, I think. Well, in my opinion, you can have your own opinion

and you can keep it yourself, unless you agree with me, in which case you can tell me about it.

So anyways, this week, I got a chance to have a multi-species training jam with my friend

and brilliant trainer, Peter Amelia.

So you might remember Peter from episode number 87, where we talked about training recalls

with different animals. And this time, we geeked out over the problem of getting behavior

started from animals that don't seem to be offering a lot of behavior. So I wanted to tell you a little bit about Peter and why they are so cool to geek out with.

So Peter's from Seattle, and I had known them a little bit on the internet

because we tend to lurk in some of the same animal behavior corners,

and so their name is popped up here and there.
