Discover the secrets of strengthening the bond between you and your furry friend with Lizzy Flanagan of Lizzy and the Good Dog People.
Lizzy, a passionate force-free dog trainer from Worcester, Massachusetts, joins us to share her innovative and relationship-focused training methods. During the pandemic, Lizzy turned to art to make her training materials more accessible, blending creativity with science to make her teachings both engaging and effective. She also opens up about her journey, drawing inspiration from the creative community, particularly Margot Tantau’s Windowsill Chats, and how her unique approach to dog training has transformed countless lives.
Lizzy doesn't just talk about training techniques; she advocates for the power of community and local support. We delve into how fostering a cooperative environment can lead to profound personal and professional growth. Lizzy emphasizes the impact of local initiatives and the importance of promoting fellow professionals without the shadow of competition. We also explore the delicate balance between reaching a broader audience and maintaining authentic, local connections, especially crucial in specialized fields like force-free dog training.
Navigating the unregulated world of dog training poses significant challenges, and Lizzy shares her strategies for building trust and transparency with clients. Through discovery calls, manageable workloads, and a genuine commitment to ethical training, Lizzy sets a high standard in the industry. From addressing the turbulence of canine adolescence to preparing pets for fireworks and thunderstorms, Lizzy offers practical advice and heartfelt insights. Join us as we wrap up with a deep sense of gratitude for the invaluable knowledge shared and look forward to future conversations that continue to enrich our understanding of the human-animal bond.
