Confidence is king! You can never gift your dog enough confidence. You can never be over aware of confidence and it can be the greatest focus you can give your dog's training plan. 

Most behaviour struggles come about due to a lack of confidence; this includes dog-dog interaction, visitors arriving in your home, separation related behaviours, and more. Lack of confidence can lead to your dog questioning those situations and also questioning their own responses and feelings associated with those situations. 

In today's episode, we cover some super top tips on how you can boost the confidence in your dog's decisions, as well as their overall outlook in situations that have previously been laced in conflict or worry. Boost your dog's confidence with our Absolute Confidence course, located at www.absolute-dogs.com.

Surgery happens!

In this podcast episode, we are making sure that you are prepared for a period of post-surgery so that you can ultimately support your dog in the best way possible.

You want to try to minimise as many things as possible that your dog will need to work through after surgery, the better prepared you both will be.

What can you do pre-surgery to optimise your experience post-surgery? Wouldn't it be amazing to feel prepared, rather than lost as far as what you might need and what your dog might be?

Check out our Separation Struggles episode here mentioned in this super episode that also talks on Jumping and Attention Seeking.

In this week’s episode, we discuss: When You're Feeling Frustrated, Disappointed and Like There's No Hope

There are two types of training… 

1. Training in the Situation – trying to teach your dog in the moment, when they’re behaviour is undesirable and at its height.
2. Training FOR the situation – preparing your dog for the situation beforehand so they have the skills to handle the situation without rehearsing the behaviour you are looking to stop and for which you are seeking a solution.

It’s important to know what skills you need to work on so that you can prepare yourself and your dog for the situation. Knowing the ingredients so that you can discover your dog’s recipe for behaviour transformation is so, so key. We dive into this in today’s episode!
