Do you spend more time Googling how to train your pet than actually training them?

This is a trap that a lot of pet owners fall into and it’s a type of unproductive action. 

This episode covers what unproductive action is versus what productive action is, and how to make sure that you are always taking productive action. 

There are five steps to identifying productive action, and anything outside of these five steps is unproductive action. I’m sharing the steps in this episode so that you can use them to guide and inform your training.

If you feel like you’ve spent a ton of time training your pet but you haven’t seen any change in their behavior, you’re probably spending too much time in unproductive action. Tune in to find out how to change that.

Did you know that you have a manual for your pet? Well, you do, and I think you should rewrite it. 

Manuals tell us how things in our lives work and function. We create manuals in our heads for all kinds of things. We have ideas about how things should work or behave, and that includes our pets. 

These manuals that we create in our heads can both help and hinder us. Sometimes we have expectations for our pets that aren’t accurate or appropriate for them. They might not know what expectations we have for them, so they can’t live up to them. 

This episode will teach you how to rewrite the manual for your pet to close the gaps in your training plan and account for any expectations that you might not even realize you had. 

If you’ve always wished your pet came with a manual, this episode is for you.

Are you looking for a training plan for your pet that’s actually doable for you?

In this episode, we are diving into simple training plans. 

Sometimes training seems really hard, and it puts people off of trying at all. I want you to know that you can change your pet’s behavior, and it doesn’t have to be super difficult. 

I do want to be very clear that simple and easy are not the same thing. I’ll go over the differences at the beginning of this episode, but we’re focusing on simplicity. 

Will simplifying your training plan also make it easier for you? Hopefully! But it will still require some patience and effort from you.

Would you say that training your pet is easy or hard?

In this episode, we’re talking about how to train the easy way. 

There is a hard way, and we’re talking about that too, so as you’re listening to this episode, I want you to think about which way you are doing it. Does your training sound more like the easy way or the hard way? 

If you realize you’re doing things the hard way, the good news is that you’re going to learn how to switch to the easy way, and your training is about to get a whole lot better!

There are actually several factors that cause your training to be easy or hard, and it’s not all down to your pet. There are things within your control that you can change to make things easier for both of you. 

If you want your training to be easier, this episode is for you.

What would you say if I told you pet training and weight loss have something in common? 

I know, it sounds like a stretch, but hear me out. 

It’s all about the mindset. You want to solve a problem so you take immediate action but when you don’t get immediate results, you quit. Do you see how that can apply to both weight loss and changing your pet’s behavior? 

As I’ve been on my weight loss journey, I’ve noticed a lot of similarities between pet training and weight loss, and in this episode, I want to explain them to you. 

This will help you to see where you are sabotaging yourself when it comes to training your pet. Tune in to learn how you can stop!

Do you know the three key components of a successful behavior plan? 

We talk a lot about training, but that’s not the only thing that goes into changing your pet’s behavior. 

As I’ve worked with clients, I’ve developed a key process to breaking down behavior plans that I have found to be super successful. Training is a part of the process, but there are two other steps that are just as important. 

In this episode, I’m sharing the three components of a successful behavior plan and explaining the role of each one. If you incorporate all three of these things, training will be easier and faster than if you rely on one alone. 

Tune in to find out if you are missing any important steps from your pet’s behavior plan!

Veterinarians, trainers, behavior specialists… who should you take your pet to?  

When your pet has a behavior that you want to change, the first person you think to take them to is usually some kind of trainer, right? However, there are actually a lot of different factors that contribute to your pet’s behavior, and health is a really important one. 

In this episode, we are talking about using behavioral medicine to change your pet’s behavior. 

As a veterinarian with a special interest in behavior, I spent a lot of time studying veterinary medicine and veterinary approaches to behavioral changes. Now that I work with pet behavior, I know that medicine can be an important part of any treatment plan, which is why I always look at the whole picture when I’m treating a pet. 

I’m going to teach you why it’s so important to consider behavioral medicine when you are working on changing your pet’s behavior and how to find someone who gets it. 

If you think behavioral medicine could be just what your pet needs, tune in to this episode.
