Ask the Dog: From Fear to Fierce Advocate with Amr Nawwar

Positively Dog Training - The Official Victoria Stilwell Podcast

In this profoundly moving episode, Victoria speaks with Amr Nawwar, a VSA graduate and professional dog trainer based in Dubai. Born in a small village in Egypt and once fearful of dogs, Amr’s transformation is a testament to courage, curiosity, and conviction. With a background in pharmacy and a deep respect for science, Amr’s journey led him to question traditional training methods rooted in punishment and dominance. Now a vocal advocate for positive reinforcement, he discusses his challenges navigating cultural stereotypes about dogs and masculinity—especially within male-dominated, punishment-heavy training circles in the Middle East. He also shares insights on the power of effective social media communication and the ethical responsibility of trainers. This episode highlights the intersection of compassion, faith, and evidence-based practice, offering hope for a kinder future in dog training across the globe.
