Dog trainer and behaviorist Peter Campione, owner of Kindred Soul’s Canine Training Center, joins host Melissa Viera to discuss training all dogs—especially those with special needs such as deafness, blindness, fear, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma—through individualized communication rather than one-size-fits-all methods. He shares his path from rescue work and apprenticeships to becoming known for taking cases other trainers refuse, emphasizing that methodology is secondary to trust and clear communication that varies by breed and individual dog.(04:28) Special Needs Dogs(06:16) Communication First(09:16) Start With Play(12:04) Recall Game Demo(14:26) Handler Energy Matters(16:02) Home Setup Tips(19:51) Adaptive Dogs StoriesFollow Peter Campione: https://www.ksk9.comhttps://www.facebook.com/peter.campioneFollow our Host, Melissa Viera, at https://mjspettrainingacademy.comWant to see more from Pet Summits?
