“Acronym can be RASH but the t-shirt won’t sell as well” I love the honesty!! 😂😂

As a balanced trainer, I agree 100% with you that subscribers don't indicate proficiency. I could, but I won't, name a positive-only, force-free (although that term in itself is a lie) trainer that is WILDLY popular and has 20 times your subscriber base, and he is nearly useless and is leading SO many people estray. It makes me so ANGRY. There is another with a huge number of subscribers that is FANTASTIC. There is another with a similar subscriber base to yours that is my hero. I really like your content. Thank you for what you do and congratulations on what you've accomplished. Please keep it up!

A gentle reminder that we are educating our dogs : ) and ourselves.

Susan, I agree and understand your theory, I am struggling with repeating the behaviors in all the different environments. Environments. For example, recall. Do short distance recall with no distractions but I am not getting the same behavior on long distance. Recall with distractions. How do I overcome these obstacles?

This is a great way to train a dog without needing any equipment or specially rented space. I will commit to this next 30 days with my dog!

Geeze.......ALL the trainers I watched on SM... paid for, gone to classes... By far, you make the most sense.... kinda cool to keep expanding. I DO follow others trainers, and several I had e canned. 💯😉😊

Cues. Consistency. Yeah. I am consistent. My husband says, "Oh, that's okay...." which how my Beagle learned to door dart. Because my husband absolutely will not insist on consistency.

This channel is a gem. Like all your educational content 👏🏼👍🏼

hello, my 6 years old rescue dog still has some issues with people. as a stray dog, she was beaten by people and she was very fearful when we took her in, her way to keep her safe was to bark and lunge. She even bit once a man's ankle who approached her cottage too much (before we adopted her). we worked hard with her to build confidence and keep her safe. She is on a leash in public and wears a head holder. we played many games for brain and sports. The COVID time wasn't useful for socializing with people, so her fears are still there. she likes hiking and there are no problems with people on the walk, runners, bikers, or skaters (we desensitized her for more than 2 years of proofing). now we can talk with strangers on the road but we are not confident to go to a restaurant or crowded area and have her relaxed. Rarely there are lunges to a person or other for no obvious reason. what can I do more to reach the point of taking off the head holder? unfortunately, we are living in an area where the neighbors are not interested in helping her as part of the exercises. on the walk, she rarely accepts treats, or toys at all, but she responds to cues. only if the person is extremely unpleasant from her point of view she lunges once (on a short leash there is no danger) and then she is ok. more like a bad habit than an aggressivity due to fear. most of the time she prefers to find something really interesting in the grass instead of looking at the trigger. this is desirable and better but I prefer to help her be not triggered as long as she is with us. She is confident but not relaxed all the time. unfortunately, she was labeled as anxious and was not allowed to learn agility. we play games agility-like but is not the same. thank you for your advice.

This was the best video Susan has ever done. So valuable do not miss, especially if u r struggling with distraction in dog sports like rally and obedience. For pet owners if u make it to the $100,000 level get your dog engaged in a sport as they r a super star and will be winning blue ribbons !

WOW I am really enjoying your posts. Before listening to your posts I thought I would go into another room and ask my dog to sit and he did and I wasn't sure I was sure and he did it. I need to lose the bribe and I have recently stopped watching all these dog trainers that have actually drained me . I am so interested in what you have to say because you are awesome.

Wow! Tried this!! I'm out of pocket!! As far as lying down is concerned, this confused the heck out of her!! And she thinks the sit and down cues are also recall cues, no distance downs except with a hand up. We have a lot of work to do. Thanks for making it clear why we should do this for our dogs, love getting a deeper understanding of my girl
