About this episode
In this solo episode, Rose sits down with her coffee to unpack a few thoughts. From a recent adventure with Levi and Norbert to the internet’s latest debates on training methods, Rose opens up about cue-chasing, values-based training, and why joy should lead the way — even when the online chatter gets loud. She talks about reinforcement, aversives, and the four quadrants, and why it’s always okay to ask questions or advocate for your dog in class. Rose also dives into how to evaluate potential trainers, the importance of checking in on your own comfort, and recognizing progress even when the Qs aren’t there. Plus — exciting news! Rose is launching a free YouTube vlog in December , including a run-analysis collaboration with Megan Foster. And yes… the new “I’ll Be Over Here Enjoying Agility” t-shirt will drop on Black Friday, with proceeds supporting the show!! Tune in, settle in, and remember: agility should feel fun, kind, and aligned with your values
