Hey Dog Lover,đŸ
What if the behaviours youâve been trying so hard to train⊠arenât actually what you want?
In this episode, weâre kicking off Untraining Week with a powerful mindset shift. Weâre diving into the heart of what âtrainingâ really meansâand why letting go of task-based obedience can open the door to deeper connection with your dog.
Youâll hear me unpack:
Why traditional obedience cues might be missing the mark
What âheel,â âsit,â or âstayâ are really about (spoiler: itâs usually not about the command itself)
How to spot the difference between compliance and communication
What it means when your dog checks out on a walkâand why thatâs a how interesting moment, not a mistake
Ways to reconnect by observing, listening, and letting your dog be a dog
Whether you have one dog or five, this episode will help you start noticing the subtle ways your dog is already showing you what they needâyou just may need to untrain your ears (and ego) to hear it. đ
Hope you enjoy this one!
