When you're working with dogs, your mindset is incredibly important. If you go into a training session thinking that the dog is going to be complicated or trying to force them to do something they don't want to do, it's going to be a lot harder than if you go in with a positive attitude and expecting cooperation. In this week's podcast and blog post, we discuss with the newly appointed LWDG Mindset Coach Louise Ktoris the mindset you need when working with dogs and how it can impact your training sessions.
