If your dog’s recall worked yesterday but failed today - or they suddenly lunge, pull, or bark again after weeks of improvement - you might be wondering what went wrong. In this episode, I explain why these so-called “setbacks” are actually a normal, expected part of the dog training process. Whether you're working on recall, loose lead walking, or reactivity, understanding this will stop you from falling into the “I’ve failed!” spiral and giving up too soon. If you’re frustrated with unpredictable results, this episode will be the reassurance and motivation you need to keep going!
