Confusion isn’t failure—it’s a signal that your brain (or your animal’s) is learning something new. In this episode, Mary Debono shares how embracing confusion can improve your movement, mindset, and connection with your horse or dog.

Key Takeaways

Confusion is a natural and valuable part of the learning process.
Your nervous system—and your animal’s—needs time and space to process new information.
Novelty and variation disrupt habitual patterns, leading to more efficient movement.
Asking “How can this feel easier?” can guide you through confusion with grace.
The key is not to fix but to support—whether it’s your dog, your horse, or yourself.
Allowing for confusion builds patience, compassion, and a deeper connection.
