Hey Dog Lover! 🐾
Ever feel a little weird about saying ā€œnoā€ to your dog?
Like you’re doing something wrong or ā€œun-positiveā€? 😬

In this episode, we’re unpacking the myth that ā€œnoā€ is a bad word in dog training.
We’ll explore why clarity isn’t cruel, why disagreement doesn’t mean disconnection, and how using both yes and no helps build trust, confidence, and a real relationship with your dog.

If you’ve ever stood there, frozen, wondering what to do next—or if you’ve been stuck in the all-or-nothing world of dog training lingo (looking at you, ā€œaversiveā€)—this episode is for you.

It's not about perfection. It's about understanding.
It’s about seeing the world through your dog’s eyes and becoming someone worth following.
Because ā€œnoā€ isn’t the enemy—confusion is.

Hope you enjoy this one.
xoxo
