Listen Dog Training: The Walk & Talk

How To Reshape Your Dog's Brain For Confidence & Calm


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of The Walk & Talk, we take a deep dive into one of the most game-changing approaches in modern dog training: concept training.

This method goes far beyond obedience and surface-level behaviour fixes… Instead, it teaches us how to shape the way our dog’s brain works - building the core concepts that drive lifelong emotional stability, focus, and resilience.

Whether you’ve got a bouncy adolescent, a nervous rescue, or a reactive firecracker, this episode will give you a totally new lens on behaviour - and the science-backed tools to make lasting change from the inside out.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • What concept training really is and how it differs from traditional obedience methods
  • The neuroscience behind behaviour: why your dog’s brain does what it does
  • How core concepts like calmness, optimism, impulse control, and focus shape behaviour
  • Why bad behaviour is often just a symptom of an underdeveloped skill
  • How to use short, joyful games to reshape your dog’s mindset and emotions
  • Why concept training is one of the most effective ways to create long-term transformation
  • Practical tips to get started today - no fancy tools or long sessions required
  • How this method builds connection, confidence, and clarity for both ends of the lead
  • Grab all the exercises you need to start your concept training journey with my Design Your Own Dog Training Pack ⬇️
