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

190. Genes Load The Gun Environment Pulls Trigger - Seven Lenses Series


Listen Later

Ever found yourself peering at your dog's pedigree, trying to piece together a blueprint of who they are? Maybe you’ve felt that mysterious pull of their innate behaviours—that tiny puppy pointing at a feather, or the Springer Spaniel suddenly diving headfirst into a hedge. It can feel like pure voodoo, like trying to bake a perfect cake without truly knowing all the ingredients.

This episonde on the podcast, we’re peeling back the curtain on one of our seven lenses of dog behaviour: Genetics. We’re untangling the genes from the mittens with LWDG Mindset Coach, Emma Liddell, to bring you clarity and a huge dose of reassurance. Because here’s the truth we all need to hear: Genetics create potential, not certainty. Your dog’s behaviour is not their destiny, and understanding this is the key to letting go of the guilt and training smarter, not harder.

Thanks for joining us for this episode of Found It, Fetched It. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve got muddy boots and a seasoned dog by your side, we’re here to walk the journey with you. We’re all about real talk, practical tips, and celebrating every little win—because in this world, progress isn’t always perfect, but it’s always worth it.
