The Secret Behind Britain's Top School... And Great Dog Trainers | Katharine Birbalsingh

Katharine Birbalsingh is widely regarded as Britain's strictest headteacher. Yet the results achieved at her school suggest that her approach is remarkably effective, with the school consistently delivering some of the best academic outcomes in the UK.In this episode, Katharine joins William to explore the fascinating parallels between modern education and dog training. They discuss the ideological influences that can stand in the way of effective teaching and training, often to the detriment of both children and dogs.The conversation also examines the role of rewards and punishment in learning, the concept of free shaping and its potential limitations, and how to foster genuine intrinsic motivation. Whether you work with children, train dogs, or are simply interested in the science of learning and behaviour, this is a thought-provoking discussion you won't want to miss.____________________William Chandler-Duff is one of the UK’s most sought-after dog trainers for behaviour modification and advanced functional obedience.
