Everyone with a dog, including professional trainers like me, encounters dog behavior problems. It might be a dog's non-existent recall, chasing things, counter surfing, being out of control, not paying attention, or, if you do sports, not listening to you in the ring. Or it could be a dog's naughty habits around home persisting. Help is at hand, and I'm sharing my strategy for success no matter what the dog training challenge.
In this episode you’ll hear:
• How to ensure you overcome dog training challenges for good. • My approach to working through a dog’s triggers with curiosity. • What to do when naughty behaviors reappear. • About knowing where the reinforcement is for unwanted behaviors. • That some behaviors are simply quirks of the dog’s personality. • The unconscious and overt crutches we use to manage our dogs. • That tracking your training will improve your dog’s behavior. • What to journal about the behavior you’re fixing. • Why we don't want to avoid our dog's triggers. • How to handle toxic emotions about your dog’s actions. • About Momentum’s agility see-saw obsession and starting my fix. • Why I'm grateful for the challenges that dogs present. • How I handled an unsolicited opinion about my age and my dog at an agility trial. • That life is better when you see amazing things in your dog.
