In this episode we chat about the ins and outs of behaviour modification training: how it differs to obedience training, how it asks more of the handler and what changes you might be expected to make when starting a program with these types of training goals.

This sort of training can be challenging to take on as a novice handler, but commitment and patience will see you build a stronger understanding of your dog and develop a much wider skill set to help them navigate the world.
