This or That games create a decision-making blueprint that helps your dog learn to make brilliant choices. In this episode, I share the five stages that grow simple choices into confident everyday decision-making. You'll also discover the common mistakes that can take choice away from your dog and how to know when they're ready to progress, so you can grow a confident decision-maker who knows how to choose well, even when life gets exciting.

In this episode, you'll hear:
• Why there can be a big gap between teaching behaviors and expecting good decisions around distractions. • How your dog's behavior gives you feedback about what they actually learned. • Why This or That games pair one well-understood response with another. • The five stages of This or That games: Spotlight Choices, Choice Pairs, Choice Challenges, Choice Chains, and Choice Living. • How Spotlights are used to create clarity, with examples of the ones I use ("cook," "search," "chow," "strike," and "bring"). • Why I make failure inexpensive for dogs. • How Buzz's love of swimming became a game of waiting for permission to enter the pond. • How to know when a dog is ready to progress in the 5 Stages. • The common mistakes that can remove clarity or sacrifice joy as the games progress. • How to join the free ItsYerChoice Summit and the waitlist for my Recallers Archetype Series event.
