Stop feeling guilty about crating your dog!! The crate is sooooo much more than just a "cage". The benefits are probably so much more than you imagine. You think the crate is just where you put your dog to keep him or her safe, but you are giving your dog a gift you're not even aware of!!
Or maybe you're not...If you can't bring yourself to crate your dog, you need to listen to this one.

If you've ever wondered why some trainers seem to be able to modify behavior so quickly and teach the dog to do things differently so easily, you need to hear this.

So many people bark commands at their dog constantly. I know I used to. Most of the time they can't even do them because they are over excited, and the state of mind just stays chaos.

Addressing your dog's state of mind does not have to be a mystery. Yes you can go pretty deep with this. There are nuances to it, and it can get very detailed. But soooo many dogs would do soooo much better if their handler would do these very, very simple things. These are the things we do right off the bat in a board and train. Within the scope of a week, many owners would claim it's a different dog.

You need to hear this episode. These basic operations are absolute magic for so many dogs.

One of the most awful things you can do as a human being is simply thinking you are worthy of judging everybody else. You are not in a position to do that. But you run into these people often if you take your dog out in public with a prong collar, ecollar, or muzzle on. Maybe you even have these people in your family..

I often get asked how to deal with people that tell you you shouldn't be training your dog this way. I make some good points in this episode not just about dealing with it but how you might be inviting it.

It is time to feel comfortable and confident with all your life decisions (it is, after all, your life), including how you train your dog. Start today.
