- Training your dog isn’t about flashy skills or perfect reps in perfect conditions — it’s about reliability in the real world.
- In this episode, we break down what proofing really means and why so many dog owners get stuck when behaviour “falls apart” outside the training session.
- We talk about why you started training in the first place, how your lifestyle should shape your dog’s training, and why rushing the process usually backfires.
- We cover the importance of developing your own communication with your dog, creating consistency across environments, and understanding that some behaviours aren’t “fixed” — they’re managed.
- Training, at its core, is about learning a shared language and culture with your dog, not blindly following rules forever.
- Learn the rules first… then earn the right to break them.This episode is a practical reminder that there’s no one right way — you need to find your way with your dog.
