๐ŸŽง Too much dog training advice?

Do you ever spend more time reading or watching videos about dog training than actually training your dog?

There's always one more video to watch, one more article to read, and one more expert who says the opposite of the last one. Before you know it, all that "preparing" has turned into staying stuck.

In this week's episode of Dogs with Big Feelings, I talk about decision paralysis and why you don't have to know every step before you start. You only need to know the next one or two. Then you'll be standing somewhere new, and you'll be able to see what comes next.

It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle without the box. You know roughly what you're building toward: a happier dog, a calmer home and more ease out in the world. Still, the final picture depends on you and your dog. Some people start with the edges, and some start with the blue sky. Every way is the right way, as long as you're putting pieces down.

P.S. My free training and live Q&A is on tomorrow 6PM PT! Bring your questions about your dog! ๐Ÿ‘‰ Sign-up

Most people are doing way too much, trying way too hard, and putting their time and energy into things that...

"Stranger danger! Don't touch me. Get out of my house!" Can you hear your dog in any of those sentences? Maybe you've given strangers treats or a ball to help win your dog over? You've asked people to avoid eye contact, move slowly, turn away, not talk to your dog. You know how sweet your dog is when they are with people they trust, and you wish everyone could see that dog. you want your dog to be friends with your friends, family, neighbours. There's a step that most people miss. Before our...
