Visit us at shapedbydog.com     As someone who has been educating dog owners on having a well-behaved dog and an amazing relationship with that dog, I think it’s important to share my failures. Learn, walk, listen and train ItsYerChoice with me as I talk about my big blunder that happened last week, the impact of judgement and critical questions we need to ask ourselves.   In the episode you'll hear:   • My mistake at the grocery store and why I went straight to judgement. • Why to get curious when you find yourself judging. • About outside dogs and littermates. • How I got triggered and responded with a lack of filter. • The way my subconscious kicked in and the thoughts I had when waking up. • What congruency means to me. • What a nose bridge is and how my puppy targets my hand. • How we are all making judgements every day. • Why to ask questions when you are irritated. • About all the different views on dog training out there in the world. • How sitting in judgement of our dogs or others has impact beyond us. • Why I teach everything through games and its effectiveness. • Quick training prompts with IYC, paw movement and reward delivery.   Resources:   • Learn how to play ItsYerChoice - https://recallers.com/iycsummit-join/ • Podcast Episode 70: Critical Info for Your Puppy’s First Day and Night at Home - https://dogsthat.com/podcast/70/ • YouTube Video: Susan Garrett's Tip for Training Frantic Dogs: Stimulus Control (see the nose bridge) - https://youtu.be/Kn3tIuQ7t9g • Podcast Episode 20: Bridging the Gap Between Blame and Kindness in Dog Training - https://dogsthat.com/podcast/20/ • Watch this Episode of Shaped by Dog on YouTube - https://youtu.be/kZEUfgR4-zg
