46 | Why Leadership Is Not What You Think! The Truth About Leadership and Why the Dog Training Industry Is Failing You

Hey Dog Lover! 🐾 Leadership... It's a dirty word in the dog training industry, but in this episode, I'm breaking down the real meaning of leadership and why it’s absolutely essential for you and your dog. 🐕 I’m sharing my own story of facing pushback—and even bullying—in the dog training community over the word "leadership." Many trainers have it all wrong, equating leadership with outdated, force-based methods that do more harm than good. ❌ But true leadership? It’s about guiding with confidence, trust, and consistency—not control. 🐾💖 And guess what? YOU (not dog training influencers) get to decide your leadership style and qualities of a good Leader. Join me as we redefine what leadership means for dog guardians and why it’s the key to a balanced, happy relationship with your dog. 🐕🐾 We’ll also go through an exercise to help you claim your unique leadership style by creating a personal value list. 📋 I’ll share my own values and style to inspire you to show up as the calm, confident guide your dog needs. ❤️ Next Steps : Ready for more support? 👇 Join our Free Facebook Community : Living Beyond Obedience – a supportive space for dog lovers like you. 🐾🐶 Take the Next Step in Your Journey : Check out The Fearful Dog: Fearless Framework here 🌐, where we dive deep into building trust and confidence with your dog, step by step. 🐾❤️ Let’s transform the way you and your dog experience leadership—together! 🐾💖 Enjoy!
