Ep 22: Navigating Conflict in Training

Training isn’t just about teaching skills—it’s about navigating the push-and-pull moments when your dog wants one thing, and you need another. In this episode, I break down what conflict in training really means, why tackling the “big issues” first can backfire, and how to use smaller everyday boundaries to build trust, respect, and cooperation with your dog. You’ll also learn how to balance conflict with cooperative activities to keep your relationship strong and your dog motivated.

If you’ve ever struggled with leash reactivity, barking, or a dog that tunes you out—this episode will change the way you approach training.

Tune in now and discover how managing conflict the right way actually brings you and your dog closer.
