Ever feel like your energy is just... off? 🤔
Monique Anstee from The Naughty Dogge in Victoria, BC, chats with Melody Shaw from Kuri K9 Trail and Train in Nanaimo, BC. They dive into the insights from their recent Bootcamp and Shadow Week experience, and here are some Key Takeaways 1. **Atmosphere Matters**: A positive, engaging environment fosters learning. 2. **Direct Communication**: Open dialogue enhances understanding and reduces defensiveness. 3. **Transformation is Possible**: Both reactive dogs and owners can experience significant growth in a supportive setting. 4. **Fun is Essential**: Rediscovering the joy in training leads to better relationships with our dogss. 5. **Innovative Techniques**: Embracing new methods can reinvigorate training practices.
