What’s going on family! This message is for all the parents out there struggling to train their dogs. You see, just like in life, YOUR emotions play a major role in your dog’s training success.

Embarrassed because you need help? Lacking confidence because you don’t know what to do? Pay close attention………Stop letting these emotions hold you back and, more importantly, stop letting them hold your dog back.

Here’s the truth: it’s OK not to be OK. It’s OK to ask for help. But first, you’ve got to come clean with yourself. Be honest about where you’re at and what you’re feeling. Your dog is looking to you for guidance, for leadership. If you’re wrapped up in your own insecurities, how can you expect your dog to succeed?

I can’t begin to tell you how many people pay me real money to essentially just defend themselves and justify the unproductive behaviors of themselves and their poor pup! I blows my mind every time!

Let me tell you something powerful: vulnerability is strength. Admitting you need help is not a weakness; it’s a stepping stone to greatness. By seeking assistance from a professional, you’re taking a proactive step towards ensuring your dog’s success. And guess what? There’s no shame in that!

When you work with a behavior professional, BE REAL WITH THEM. Lay it all out. Your frustrations, your fears, your doubts—everything. This honesty will pave the way for a better understanding and a more effective training plan. Remember, your dog feeds off your energy. If you’re confident and open, they’ll be more receptive and eager to learn.

So, here’s the deal: Embrace your emotions. Seek help when you need it. Be honest with yourself (and your friendly neighborhood dog trainer). Your dog’s success starts with YOU. Step up, show up, and watch your dog thrive like never before.

Stay focused, trust the process, and let’s get these dogs trained and transformed! 🚀🐾 #mdbgunleashed #trusttheprocess #K9DLC #k9visionbuffalo #dontbescaarrred
