Summary
Debbie talks about why dog training can look so effortless when a trainer demonstrates it, and why it so often feels much harder when you try it yourself at home. She explains that this isn't down to your ability or your dog's, but to the fact that you're learning a brand new skill at the same time as teaching it, while your dog senses every bit of your uncertainty along the way. Debbie also shares why she avoids demonstrating with her own dog, why training is really a partnership between you and your dog, and a simple practice technique that can build confidence before you even start working with your dog directly. A reassuring, honest episode for anyone who's ever felt like they're "getting it wrong."
