Welcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!

In this episode, Lauren is joined by wonderful Pro Dog Trainer and Obedience Champion Linda, to talk about growing confidence in both dogs and humans, battling insecurities and dealing with imposter syndrome.

Join them as they chat about the stories and strategies that helped shape Linda’s career as a champion obedience trainer. From helping “spooky” dogs blossom into confident competitors to tackling her own self-doubt, Linda shares powerful, practical strategies for developing resilience in both ourselves and our four-legged friends.

This episode offers a warm, relatable, and motivational conversation about the importance of building trust with dogs and ourselves. Get ready to feel empowered and motivated to bring out the best in yourself and your dog by understanding how to recognise and address hidden insecurities and nurture confidence, one small step at a time.

• Hear how Linda helped a nervous dog transform into a confident champion - and what that journey taught her about trust and patience.
• Listen to Linda’s refreshingly real take on facing imposter syndrome - both in dog training and in life - and how she learned to quiet her inner critic.
• Discover how dog training can be as much about our growth as it is about theirs, helping us step into leadership roles and embrace our strengths.
• Pick up small but powerful tips on understanding your own insecurities and turning them into stepping stones for success.

Listen in as Lauren and Linda get to the heart of what it means to be a confident, compassionate trainer and an even more self-assured human. Prepare to walk away inspired to embrace growth - for you and your dog.
