Not seeing results in dog training? I’m breaking down why that happens and how layering your dog’s learning is the key to creating real-world success. We often believe our dogs are “trained” when things look great in controlled settings but when connection disappears, distractions take over, or confidence fades in new environments, it’s a sign that a layer of learning is missing. I’ll walk you through how the layers of the 5C Pyramid build lasting reliability and focus, a personal story from my own training, and how shaping behavior through intentional layers leads to long-term success in agility, sports, and everyday life.

 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

 

• Why your dog might be great in training games but struggle in real-world situations. • How building intentional layers in training leads to real-world success with your dog • The concept of “real world success” and how it evolves as your relationship with your dog grows. • A deep dive into the 5 Cs of dog training: Connection, Clarity, Confidence, Challenge, and Complexity. • The difference between a connected, driven, and detached dog and why that matters. • A powerful question to ask yourself in every training moment to stay aligned with your long-term goals. • How intentional layers build deep connection and lasting success. • A personal story about my own dog and how the layers of learning led us all the way to the world championships.
