Summary
This is a REPLAY of Nikki's interview for the KIENO Conference. Training doesn’t have to feel like a constant battle. When we stop pushing against our dog’s nervous system and start listening to what their behavior is communicating, everything changes In this episode, we explore what it truly means to meet your dog where they are — emotionally, physically, and neurologically. We’ll talk about why resistance shows up in training, how stress and past experiences shape behavior, and how choosing the path of least resistance leads to deeper trust, faster learning, and more sustainable change. dogspeak101.com dogspeakgeek.thinkific.com Decoding Your Dog
