Have you ever felt stuck when you are training your dog? Or wondered what to do when things aren't working? I’m sharing how to troubleshoot, adjust, and turn things around with a fix for common mistakes. We’re looking at why training might not be working, what to do about it, essential foundations that make all training easier, and strategies to put on the brakes when things are going in a direction you don’t want.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why dog training sometimes doesn’t go as planned and what to do when your dog just isn’t getting it. • What should be included in your strategic protocol (Relationship, Recall, Retrieve and Reinforcement Zone) and how they impact training success. • About the key training games and exercises: ItsYerChoice, Crate Games, Relaxation Protocol, Tug Games, Hot Zone and Perch Work. • How to join the ItsYerChoice Summit, 100% free. • Why “Criteria is Joy.” • Why having a dedicated Training Den helps build confidence. • The importance of establishing and transferring value. • How to create clarity in training so your dog understands exactly what you want. • About recognizing signs of frustration in your dog and taking their feedback. • The key to adding distractions, duration, and distance without overwhelming your dog. • How to adjust your training plan so your dog succeeds. • My best tip: Take a Paws (pause!) when things aren’t going right - small changes can make a big difference!
