Why Your Dog’s Behaviour Isn’t Changing (and How to Turn It Around)
You’ve read the books. You’ve saved the Instagram reels. You’ve tried every recall trick, loose lead hack, and reactivity tip you can find.
But nothing seems to work, at least not for long. And the more you try, the more stuck you feel.
If that’s you, this episode of The Mindful Dog Parent is here to give you relief. Because it’s not that you’re a bad dog parent, and it’s not that your dog can’t learn. There are deeper reasons why the right advice still isn’t bringing the results you hoped for, and we’re going to unpack them together.
You’ll learn:
- The pattern loops that keep you and your dog stuck in the same behaviour cycle
- Why training fatigue makes it harder to be consistent
- The invisible wins you might be missing
- How to use the Reset Point method to break the cycle and make progress faster
- A practical 7-day challenge to create more calm and connection with your dog
If you’ve been running on frustration, doubt, or emotional exhaustion, this episode will help you slow things down, reset, and start seeing the small wins that lead to big change.
