- (#7) The Story Of A Sheltie
Today I share the story of a rescue pup who changed my life. When I adopted this dog I had no idea how much he would teach me, not only about dog training, but how to be adaptable and always think outside the box. When your training isn't going to plan, don't change your goal, change your approach.
In this episode you'll hear:
- The story of my sheltie
- How I discovered positive reinforcement based training
- How we went from severe separation anxiety & shut down to best behaved dog I've ever seen
- The power of building a dog's confidence
