Manage episode 407700316 series 3319460
What to listen for:
How do you define “struggle” in dog training? Today, our hosts, the Dames of Detection, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing are breaking down just that, sharing potent personal stories that will shift your perspective on canine learning curves. Together, they probe the gap between expectation and reality, dissecting how 'struggle' can embody both momentary challenges and the broader journey toward canine mastery.
Navigating the delicate dance between pushing your pooch and knowing when to pull back is an art form. Our hosts take us through strategies to avoid overwhelming your companion, including the art of breaking down tasks and considering external factors like climate, all while keeping your dog's well-being at the forefront.
They wrap up the convo with an exploration of stress — not all stress is bad, it turns out. Distinguishing between the type that fosters growth and the kind that hinders it, they share relatable anecdotes that illustrate how to harness the right amount of challenge in training.
