Listen Dog Training: The Walk & Talk

The Fascinating Science of How Your Dog Becomes Who They Are

Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into one of the most empowering truths in dog training: your dog’s personality isn’t set in stone - it’s plastic. Every moment, every experience, every choice you make together is literally shaping who your dog becomes.

You’ll discover how genetics, environment, and training all interact to form your dog’s unique temperament, and how neuroplasticity - the brain’s incredible ability to adapt and rewire - means change is always possible.

If you’ve ever felt stuck with your dog’s behaviour, this episode will reignite your hope and show you exactly how to help your dog evolve, one small, consistent step at a time.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • The science of neuroplasticity and what it means for your dog’s behaviour
  • The difference between temperament and personality, and why that distinction matters
  • How environment, reinforcement, and your energy continually shape who your dog becomes
  • Practical ways to help your dog grow calmer, braver, and more adaptable
  • Why ‘slow is fast’ when it comes to real, lasting behaviour change
  • How your mindset directly influences your dog’s progress
    • 💻 Want tailored support to help your dog thrive?
