Ep 26: How to Talk Dog (or How to Grow Engagement, Focus and Motivation in Any Dog)!

We can all feel a bit demotivated about training when it seems like our dogs don’t want to work with us. Whether that’s pulling on lead, running off the minute the lead is unclipped or struggles with other dogs, we see you! But my dog’s breed is independent or aloof; my dog doesn’t like treats. We’ll debunk those myths in this episode and share strategies for increased focus and engagement, as well as introducing you to a super strong Yorkie and Dr. Tom gets more than he bargained for. ................ Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad… Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away… Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”… … this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!
