Text Me Your Questions Imagine a world where your dog navigates the chaos of a squirrel chase with the poise of a Zen master. In our latest conversation, we celebrate National Train Your Dog Month by unfolding the secrets to mastering your dog's impulse control. Say goodbye to the days of tug-of-war with your pooch at the sight of every passing bike, and hello to serene walks in the park. We tackle a lineup of exercises that will transform your furry friend's reactions to high-stimulation scenarios, and lay out three New Year's resolutions that every dog owner should embrace. Training your dog can be as satisfying as savoring that first sip of coffee in the morning—if done correctly. This episode is your guide to ditching the intimidation tactics and embracing the power of positive reinforcement. We've dissected the science behind nurturing an obedient and happy canine through incremental challenges in distance, duration, and distraction. As we traverse the journey of training together, we celebrate each mistake as a stepping stone to success, providing a sanctuary of patience and consistency for your four-legged companion to thrive.
