➡️Prioritize Progress Over Perfection!

Published 10 months ago • 1 min read

Do You Ever Feel stuck?

Do you feel paralyzed? Does fear of making mistakes hold you back from even trying?

Are you overwhelmed trying to remember all of the things you're supposed to watch and all of the things you're supposed to do?

You matter! You and your dog are a team.

I'm sure you've heard that we need to break behaviours down into small pieces that our dogs can learn. We break skills and games down into pieces to set our dogs up for success.

Don't forget to do that for yourself as well. This is just as important as breaking skills down for our dogs. You matter too.

Often, we are forgotten in the training plan, sometimes because we want so badly to progress, so badly to be able to do all the things, that we aren't kind to ourselves. We set ourselves up to fail.

Our dog's reactivity will progress much more quickly if we remember that we are a team, if we remember to be as kind to ourselves as are are to our dog.

We do a lot of this in the Deep Dives with our daily check ins.

Break skills down and practice the games in scenarios where the whole team can succeed.

The Next Leash Reactivity Deep Dive Begins Jan 2025

Check out the LEASH REACTIVITY DEEP-DIVE, my group mentorship program in which I spend 8 weeks with a small group of people struggling with leash reactivity. Submit videos, ask questions, and meet awesome people and dogs.

You'll receive daily support and feedback on your training for 8 whole weeks. This is a fantastic way to jump start your training and to get some real progress for both your dog and yourself. Build your dog's skills and confidence, as well as your own!

Leash Reactivity? Reactivity can feel overwhelming, embarrassing, and frustrating—but it doesn’t have to stay that way. There are 3 stages to addressing Leash Reactivity. If we skip or rush steps. we can become stuck - either we or our dogs can end up facing challenges that set them up for failure because we don't yet have the skills to succeed. Stage 1 - Prepare to Learn Before we can start training the hard stuff, we need to be in the right mindset. Both ends of the leash need to be ready....

Somewhere along the line, we were convinced that setting boundaries is mean. If we limit access to things our dogs want, add structure to their days, or say “no” sometimes, we’re told we’re being controlling. Harsh. Unkind. Our dogs deserve better, right? But boundaries and structure aren’t cruel. They’re kindness. They’re what keep dogs safe, and what help them feel secure. The trick is in how we set them. It’s NOT “no — or else.” It's NOT having a dog live in a crate in a nothing in life is...

Recall, reactivity, and calm behaviours all draw from the same foundations: self-control and arousal management. On the surface, they don't seem the same - recall is fast and high-energy, reactivity is emotionally charged, and settling at a cafe is low-energy and chill. These behaviours all depend on the dog’s ability to regulate their internal state and make choices under stimulation. Different goals, same skillset When you call your dog, they must disengage from distractions and focus on...
