Found It, Fetched It - Your Weekly Dose of Gundog Wisdom from the LWDG

185. Switch Off Series Live 2: The Two Words That Changed How I Train My Gundog


Listen Later

Are you ready to unlock the secret to a calmer, more connected relationship with your gundog? In this session, we're revealing the two powerful words that completely transformed how we train our dogs


Join us as we delve into understanding your dog's mental and emotional state before you ask anything of them. Drawing on personal stories and the insights from my book, 'The Thoughtful Dog Trainer' by Joanne Perrott , we'll explore:


Why calmness is a learned skill, not just a personality trait.

How our busy lives and even our own emotions can impact our dogs' ability to settle.

The importance of reading your dog's body language and understanding their perspective.

Why your dog isn't "naughty," but simply needs to be taught how to switch off.

Crucial advice on when not to train, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed.

This isn't about quick fixes; it's about building a deeper understanding and a stronger bond with your gundog. We'll help you drop those common myths and start truly seeing what's stopping your dog from settling in the home.


Ready to take the next step? This video is the perfect lead-in to our FREE LWDG Switch Off and Settle Challenge!


Remember, your dog isn't broken, and neither are you. It's a learning journey we're on together!


This live is part of the pre-challenge series leading up to the Switch Off & Settle Down Challenge, starting Monday 15th September — showing you how to help your dog move from wired to relaxed in real life.
