Finding the balance: Dog Training beyond blame and excuses.
In this episode, we look at the balance between understanding your dog's behaviour and your role as their guide. It's easy to go for an extreme, such as reaching for blame, making excuses for your dog's behaviour, or how a session has turned out. Together with my lovely guest Gabriella from Simply Gabriella Ltd we will explore what might be behind these reactions and how they could be reframed or changed to find balance, offering insights on fostering growth and connection without blame or excuses. Whether you're working through challenges or want to strengthen your bond, this episode might be for you!
