Episode Summary
In this episode, I share my personal experiences with my dogs Ivy and Poppy, while stripping away the illusion of social media perfection and dive into the nitty-gritty of dog training and pet behaviour change from the unanticipated joy in a perfectly executed cue, to the occasional despair when things don’t go as planned.
I’ll also explore the nuances of setting achievable targets, taking into account each pet’s unique personality and pace, while sharing strategies that can help carve out time for training in our daily routines & often busy lives.
