This is so so hard to explain to the 28/30! They're always pushing just a bit too far every time. I really enjoy that you talk about topics that aren't touched on in typical training environments. Thank you!

I do solemnly swear, hand over heart, to the best of my abilities to be present for my dog and listen to him and learn from him and figure out together how to have the best relationship we can have and try always to be one of the 2 of 30… I am getting a puppy in a week. I am watching your videos… I wish I had found them years ago! This is my fourth dog and I have learnt so much from each of them. Thanks!
-
Holy smokes....it's like I'm hearing that angel choir from above....so so so good, I just love this one....a light switch definitely just turned on in my brain...thank you Susan! this is going to change so much how I train every day from now on!!
-
Oh my goodness!! This was the information I didn't know I needed. It is already making a difference! It will definitely time me time to learn to notice and break down the different steps, but ... wow! Learning to see our 'games' as a conversation of question asked and question answered brought real clarification to so many things that I didn't understand about why Willow wasn't doing what I thought I had taught her. I was not listening to her answers.

I will be 2 of 30!! Thank you for this!
-
oh man this one is gold...not liking I've been in the group of 28....have made a personal note to watch this one often, every day if need be...a lot of gems in this one thanks!
-
I'm so glad I re-watched this episode tonight. I'm rewarding my dog quickly as he learns to be calmer around other dogs and it paid off big time at the vets today. He was able to sit in the waiting room with 3 other dogs as I kept cookies coming to reinforce his good behavior. 👍 Now I also understand how I can apply this to chains of trick training ! I was asking him to go to the next step before rewarding his correct action on the previously incorrect move! Thanks for the clarity,SG 😀

You guys have one of the best retrieve videos on YouTube and AKC just started a Fetch program under family dog! Just you and your dog in the ring i believe. Hope that helps.

Thank you!
-
very valuable lesson! I made the 28/30 mistake when I taught my dog not to get excited when it sees a leash.
-
Susan, I'm SOOO glad I found your channel :) We have a 15 week old Mini Aussie and your insights and approach are spot on. I subscribe to half a dozen other training channels, and the insights you give into dog psyche are delivered in a way that's unique, understandable, and in a clear format for us to follow. BIG thanks.

Wow! Everything I needed to hear today!! Just recently started agility with Mylo. Apparently I’m one of the 28/30 🤦🏼♀️ but now I know and this hit hard enough to make the changes “I” need to make! I’m going to rewatch this before our next training session!! Thank you !! 😊
-
Simply brilliant as always. I so badly want to be able to walk in public without him reacting to other dogs that I neglect to ask him “Are you ready for this?” when I know he will say “nope … not quite”. But it’s been almost 2 years of work and I admit that I’m losing enthusiasm for the training.
-
Thank you, Susan! I watched so many videos of you and they were always a win, but this is the first time, I comment. This was really mindblowing, as you would say! I need a little Susan on my shoulder, who sayes me:"Attention, you leaving the path to become a 2 out of 30!"
-
This was a major aha moment!!

Just recently came across your youtube platform andI love listening and watching your videos. So many things you discuss and teach are things ive always done and learned over the years doing my own research training pets and working with trainers with my own pups just to learn better techniques. Unfortunately, my 2 favorite trainers no longer live in our area, and I've yet to find someone who trains to my standards, patience, and gentleness. Any tips on how to train the other human counterpart who loves dogs, but refuses to take the time to participate in the training? I spend so much time working with our 5 pups every day, and they do wonderful all day, but when he gets home... it drives me nuts, and he breaks them (as I put it), and I sometimes have to go back to the beginning. 😅
-
Another GEM Susan! Thank you. I have noticed lately that I use a lot of "oupsy" when my pup gets it "wrong" and I can see how his behaviour changes... I really need to stop doing it and will checked out (again) podcast #64.
-
WOW, just what I needed today !!! Thank you for another eye-opening lesson!!! ❤
-
Wow..... Thank you so much to open my eys
