"Fallout" from Tools or Procedures Jul 28, 2026

Show notes

Dog trainers commonly refer to “fallout” in relation to certain tools or procedures for behavior change. This is not untrue or unreasonable, fallout definitely occurs often in behavior change. But rather than the dichotomous thinking that leads us to believe some things cause fallout and others don’t, Sarah suggests in this episode that all things cause side effects and we should always pay attention to them.

REPLAY: Systems of Support Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

When the internal system is unstable the external systems must step up to support that system. Meaning, when chronic health concerns or even just a highly specialized mind are part of the dog you are trying to care for, you have to show up with strong external systems of support to help them thrive.

In dog sports the dog can’t be an equal teammate because the human is fully in charge.

Worked Up Finalé: Calm Down First, Feel Better Second Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Throughout all the worked up material the mantra is repeated: calm down first, feel better second. But dogs don’t need to be calm all the time, and calmness is relative.

Worked Up Skills: Mental Flexibility May 26, 2026

Show notes

Mental or cognitive flexibility is a vital skill to navigate life and big feelings. But we deliberately breed dogs with inflexible minds and it is our job to teach them how to bend so they do not break. A little breakdown, and some practical skills, and you’ll be off to the races to help your dog and yourself be a little more flexible.
