So much of traditional dog training advice encourages you to be regimented and strict with your dogs training. To do things the same every time so your dog knows what to do. In today's episode I challenge that idea. Our lives are not always the same, our dogs' motivations are not the same at every moment of every day. What really works in our real lives is to train behaviors that can be flexible with the variability of our lives. Episode 278. Proofing Episode 209. Too Food Motivated?
