Episode 208 | Did I Just Ruin My Dog? Training Setbacks Explained
Hey Dog Lover 🐾
Have you ever had a moment with your dog go sideways and immediately thought:
“Oh no… did I just ruin everything?”
Has your dog ever suddenly become worried about something they were previously totally fine with?
Do setbacks with your dog sometimes make you feel like you’re back at square one?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a very real, very human moment with Gunther that did not go according to plan 😅
What started as an unfortunate deer poop incident quickly turned into an important reminder about:
• emotional associations • overwhelm • pressure • and how quickly dogs connect experiences together
We’re talking about:
• why dogs create associations so quickly • how frustration and urgency can affect our dogs • why one imperfect moment does NOT ruin your relationship • what repair and rebuilding trust actually look like • and why progress with dogs is never about perfection
This is a more vulnerable, behind-the-scenes episode about real life, real dogs, and the importance of curiosity and partnership when things don’t go perfectly.
Because sometimes the most meaningful relationship moments don’t happen during perfection…
They happen during repair.
