I’ve been thinking a lot about the lack of patience people have been showing with their dogs lately. Patience is a huge part of training your dog. Without it, you go know where.

I've also realized recently, how many people don’t know the story of how I became a trainer. As my business has grown, the amount of people who know about Fin has become less.
My struggle with Fin was the reason I met a friend and mentor of mine, Jess (limitless Aus) while she was in New Zealand.

Recently, I was reading through notes from her class we attended years ago. It said:

“The dog's mindset is the most important thing to consider if you are struggling with a behaviour. Not just the mindset at the time, but the mindset at all times leading up to those moments.”

When I make you, go back to the car and re-start, it’s not for fun. It’s for a reason- mindset. People are always rushing the small stuff. Having a say in the small stuff with your dog, means you have a say with the BIG stuff too.

If I had never had the patience to hold Fin accountable for his heel position, even for the tiniest placement, we would have never progressed past his reactions to other dogs. Instead, the dog who once attacked other dogs, could walk past any dog. No matter what that dog was doing - lunging/pulling towards us, because Fin knew to stay in his heel. There was never another option. Only consistency and a calm handler mindset created that.

So when I say, I understand how hard it can be to be patient, and that’s what's lacking and the reason the dog is not moving forward, I really mean it's a huge part of the equation. And not to be skipped over.

And sometimes, it will take 30min to get out of your front door. But in the long run, that patience now, will create a great relationship with your dog for the next 10 years.

THIS! I can't be the only one working on getting the results. Owners are a huge part of the equation

😐 How do things get better? 😐

"Here's an outline of things that need to change so we can start getting some stability into your dogs home life & take some of this stress off you.....
"Oh i don't want to crate, i don't want to fence my yard, i don't want to use a tether, i dont want to use treats or use whistles, or use a long line. I don't want to use a muzzle, i don't want to do X"....😐

"This week i'd like you to try doing this 1 thing". Checking on day 3..."So how did you get on?"
"Oh i haven't had time to do that"....😐

🌟🌟🌟There is no magic dust.🌟🌟🌟

There is a real problem in the animal industry of overwhelm & overload, of compassion fatigue & of quitting if not worse. Alot of this is from frustration & also from simply the emotional, physical & mental outputs required to help everyone.

👏Everyone must work as a team to get results. 👏
If the person who is with the dog for the majority of the time isn't doing their part, it is not the other part of the teams job to do it for you. Trainers should not want it more than you. If suggestions are made for improvement of things, it's because they have been tested & have worked many times before. Things can be adjusted but there needs to be a foundation to start from. If barriers kept constantly getting placed in the way, then there is no moving forward. Things do not fix themselves by doing nothing.

🙌 Help trainers help you, by being open to changing your habits & actively trying new things. 🙌
