Ep280 - If nothing changes, nothing will change!
- Many dog owners say they want their dog's behaviours to change... but are we willing to change ourselves?
- In this episode, we explore a simple idea that has a huge impact on dog training: if nothing has changed, nothing will change. More often than not, lasting behaviour change starts with the owner, not the dog.
- We discuss how our daily habits, consistency, timing and expectations shape our dogs' behaviour, and why repeating the same actions while expecting different results only leads to frustration.
- Diving into the science of learning, looking at how operant conditioning creates the repetitions that eventually become classical conditioning—turning trained behaviours into lasting emotional associations and habits.
- If you're serious about creating long-term change in your dog, this episode will challenge you to first look at the other end of the leash.
