This week we discuss: My Dog Hates Me

Does your dog struggle with going to the vet, having their nails trimmed, or just being handled in general? We know that sometimes things must happen and that can definitely withdraw from our relationship bank account with our dogs. 

What is the relationship bank account? 

It’s the way we go through life with our dogs. This bank account can have investments and withdrawals. Investments are positive interactions, like playing games from the Sexier than a Squirrel 25-Day Challenge. 

Withdrawals are negative interactions and experiences that your dog does not enjoy like ear treatments, punishment in training, etc. 

We are talking on how to top up your relationship bank account even if there are withdrawals – to truly balance it out with so many more investments. 

Learn about:

• Predictors AND how they influence your dog
• What you can to make predictable events less predictable
• How you can replenish your relationship bank account with your dog
• How little daily actions can have such a positive impact

This week we discuss: Imposter Syndrome

No matter whether you are a dog owner, aspiring dog trainer, or a professional dog trainer, this very much applies to you. 

What is imposter syndrome? This is when, in any facet of your life, you doubt your skills, talents, or accomplishments. No matter that the world keeps telling you that you are quite in the right place, that your experience and skills are valued, you might interpret those confirmations of your abilities to only be the case because you’ve somehow deceived those around you in believing that you are capable. 

You are exactly who you need to be. You are the very best you that you can be you. You are absolutely crushing it. 

In today’s episode we go through some super top tips that we apply in our own lives, to kicking imposter syndrome to the curb, and to continue being the awesome human being that you already are. 

Supercharge your day and listen to an episode that will surely give you the optimism boost you need. You’ve got this!

This week we discuss: How we can support our senior dogs?

As our dogs age, their bodies change, as do their minds. In this episode, we want to empower dog owners around the world to take charge of their senior dog’s care and to take action in reducing (and sometimes even reversing) the symptoms of ageing. 

We have experienced ageing dogs in our own homes, and we are all too aware of the changes that can occur. Our once spry, joyful, and alert dogs can become a little stiffer, sleep more, wake more at odd hours, or even appear to be less joyful in their interactions with us. 

Our own senior dogs inspired us to grow our knowledge. What can you do to support your senior dog? We dive deeper into cognitive changes, as well as physical changes, and include some great learning, as well as some implementable strategies so that you too can help support your dog as they enter their senior years. 

Not only are there a lot of things you can do day to day that will help your dog; there are also some great ways to support your senior dog nutritionally. Empower yourself and other senior dog owners by listening in and sharing this immense episode with any owners you know may benefit.

This week we discuss: Pandemic Puppies

As a result of the changes in the world in the past year, there are many shy dogs and pandemic puppies that have had limited exposure. Is limited exposure the end of the world, is that a bad thing, or is it potentially not such a bad thing?

We know that empowering your dog through games can help prepare them for life. One bad event outweighs even 100 positive events. The key to having a puppy that is cool, calm, and collected in the world is quality over quantity. 

Interaction vs. Being in the Presence of is a HUGE thing to consider when exploring socialisation with your Pandemic Puppy. In addition, growing concepts prepares your dog far more than a checklist. There are so many top tips in this episode and if you have a pandemic puppy or know someone that does, this is the episode for you (and share away!).
