Afraid of making mistakes? You're not alone
Whenever we open the academy to new members we find a common fear among new students: They’re afraid to make mistakes and mess up their dogs. And I get that. So let’s talk about it!

Live Replay: Why I don’t have videos of my dogs “struggling” and a talk about Leave It training
When it comes to training our service dogs, the order in which we train things matters. And it matters a lot. It’s the difference between struggling and struggling to solve a challenge or flying through that same challenge with very little issues.
This is what we’re talking about today. How to put things in the correct order.
To see examples of this same process with heeling around distractions, make sure to check out our free heeling workshop, but don’t wait the replays are only available until September 9th:

Should you owner train a service dog?
Let's talk about things to consider before you choose to owner train! Now, this is not a comprehensive list of all the things you should consider, but I’ve worked with hundreds of owner trainers, and there are a few things I see missed a lot.
If you do choose to owner train a service dog, check out our blog post on choosing the right candidate, because choosing the right dog is the most important decision you'll make:

Thinking about joining the academy? Registraiont closes tonight!
This video is all about the top mistakes I see owner trainers make over and over again. See, I’ve been working with owner trainers, both online and in-person, for years, and there’s no reason you have to make these same mistakes too.
The Q&A here is really valuable too, and filled with all kinds of bonus mistakes, so you'll want to watch all the way to the end.

Tips for public outings and “unpredictable adolescent behavior”
This live was inspired by a question one of my academy members had on a recent Q&A. She wanted to know how to handle public outings and public access training while dealing with unpredictable adolescent behavior. See, somedays her adolescent SDiT is brilliant. He’s super focused, easily engaged. Other days he’s super distractible. And she doesn’t always know when dog she has. And I knew instantly what she meant, Leo is also in the middle of that adolescent period and most days he’s super great, but some days it’s like we’ve never trained a day in his life. And the hard part is that he doesn’t tell me ahead of time which days will be which.
