Dog Behavior Issues? This 50-Year Trainer Says Your Looking at it Wrong

What happens when over 50 years of dog training experience meets a holistic, whole-body approach to canine wellness? In this episode of "The Crunchy Carnivore Podcast", we sit down with Minnesota-based trainer Katie of Katie’s K9 to explore how decades of hands-on experience have shaped her grounded, no-nonsense philosophy on training—and ultimately led her to embrace and educate others on more holistic practices for dogs. Katie has seen it all. From old-school training methods to today’s modern trends, she brings a unique perspective on what actually works, what doesn’t, and why behavior can’t be separated from a dog’s overall health and environment. This conversation goes far beyond obedience. We dive into the connection between nutrition, lifestyle, and behavior—and how supporting the whole dog can transform not just how they act, but how they feel. In this episode, we cover: • How 50+ years of dog training shaped Katie’s philosophy • The evolution of training methods • Why behavior issues are often rooted in more than just training • How holistic practices support balanced, responsive dogs • The importance of educating dog owners—not just training dogs • Real-life insights from decades of working with dogs and families Whether you’re struggling with behavior challenges or simply want to better understand your dog, this episode offers timeless wisdom, practical insight, and a refreshing perspective on raising truly healthy, balanced dogs.
