Shaped by Dog Podcast with Susan Garrett - 3 Keys to a Confident Dog #38

What is confidence in a dog? Why do we need it? How do we grow it, and why should we even care? Confidence is a topic I’m very passionate about, and there are three things that are big contributors bringing out the best in a puppy or dog. In the episode you'll hear: • What my dog Decaff taught me about confidence. • How confidence replaces stress and anxiety. • About my once in a lifetime dogs. • How our beliefs control our thoughts about our dogs and how our thoughts control our actions. • Why today can be your starting point! • The strategy you can adopt to get to where you want to be with your dog. • My promise to Momentum’s four puppies about marbles. • About emotional states and our dogs. • Why to play small to play big. • How you can see lack of marble building behaviour in performance sports like agility. • About defining the behavior you see by what is real. • How much the language you use about your dog matters. • Why we want our bag of marbles overfull.
