Yes!! 🤗🧡thank you for this! Hi I am wanting to go to school to get certified as a behavioral list although I do have experience and we consider myself well-versed in behavior and people absolutely hate when I bring this up and say it is so important to work and focus on this! Changed how I trained and I’m so much happier as are my dogs! My clients are happier too!

Fantastic video! I'm in Susan Garrett's Recallers program and I think you clearly summed up the first thing I noticed. It is better to teach your dog to make good decisions than it is to try to control them. As you teach them how to make good choices, you begin to see all the behaviors change. The dog has the tools to choose what is better for them and you. They also learn to look to you for guidance and it builds a better bond. Your relationship becomes one of cooperation rather than competition. It's very harmonious.

Wonderful video. Im a Susan Garrett fan 😊 I love when you said "people want a dog who doesn't do dog things" and it's so true. What's even worse many "problem" behaviors (such as barking) were bred into them by humans, and now they get punished for it. Crazy. We take an animal and try to make it live by our standards and rules in a human society and that is just wild... but no one ever thinks about it. Anyway, great video! I hope it helps lots of people

Thanks so much so helpful ☺️

I dont really understand how you taught your dog that bike is equal to ball. We have a border collie almost 6 months old. She is reacting at everything that moves on walks, especially bikes and motorbikes. But when we play with the ball she is like hypnotised and only focussed on the ball. So can you please explain how to teach her to not react on everything that moves?
