What to listen for:
“Be kind and open and giving, even when they don't know anything, that's okay, still give and still branch out. And that's where those connections happen. And it's magic. And I'm so thankful for all these connections.”
Ever wondered how your training methods truly impact your loyal canine? Join our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing as they unravel the hidden implications behind various training techniques and their potential dangers. They share their personal experiences, insights, and challenges faced in the canine detection domain and stress the value of consistency in training while cautioning against adopting new training techniques without considering their compatibility with existing methods.
From discussing the essence of a clear training progression plan, to emphasizing the need to be mindful of training plateaus, they cover it all. The Dames of Detection underline the importance of a dedicated instructor to guide you through this process and the benefits of venturing out to seminars and experimenting with your dog - all the while being fully conscious of the lessons you impart.
In the concluding segment, they discuss how the powers of kindness, openness, and positive thinking can build strong connections and foster positive relationships with both humans and dogs. All this and more in this episode of K9 Detection Collaborative!
