DOG TYPES; the differences in how to train them.
Jill and I are finally on to something great, and I thank those who have given us honest, raw input to get us on task. This week we have an uncensored discussion trying to decide the difference of how we train a sensory dog compared to one lacking confidence. We do get there, with a really simple answer, but we are talking about something that has never been defined before. We do define it and the answer is really simple.
This weeks podcast applies to all the Mexican Rescues and other street dogs, many reactive dogs, and all the weirdos out there that are so misunderstood by recipe trainers. It explains why so many of these dogs get worse under programs with rigid structure. Please share this with all your friends that this might help.
Thank you to you all for sticking with us, while we learned how to do this. The growth curve was steep, but I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. Jill, not so much!
