When Helping Your Dog is an Illusion #12

Visit us at shapedbydog.com

We all love our dogs and want to help them, but sometimes that help has the opposite effect of what we intend! That’s what I’m covering in this episode, so you can get the behaviour you really want. Learn how letting go of control will have your dog buy-in to your training and create a relationship of mutual happiness.

In the episode you'll hear:

• About triggers, opposition reflex and drive.
• What self control really is, and how our control is an illusion.
• How games are a win for everyone even if there’s a fail (yes … the F word!).
• Why your dog’s buy-in to your training results in a lifetime of joy.
