In this episode of The Robotic Dog, Brittney dives deep into a concept few trainers talk about — mourning the loss of the “old dog”.

No, your pup didn’t cross the rainbow bridge… but the wild, frantic, clingy version of them? Yeah, that one’s gone. And that can feel weird.

Brittney compares emotional detachment from humans to the subtle grief that sometimes comes with dog training. As we correct problematic behaviors, we also say goodbye to the chaos we secretly kinda liked — the overexcited greetings, the intense ball obsession, the clingy quirks.

She shares stories of client dogs who evolved into calmer, more fulfilled animals — even if that meant giving up some of their “personality” quirks. Britt breaks down how modifying a dog’s core behavior changes their entire vibe — for the better.

  • Grieving the version of your dog you “got used to”

  • Why fixing root problems removes the “cute” chaos too

  • How anxious or confused dogs display learned behaviors we accidentally reinforce

  • The psychology behind creating a mentally strong dog

  • Teaching polite behavior without killing the joy

  • Understanding your dog is not your child… they're a predator in your house!

  • The rent analogy: your dog pays rent through good behavior

  • Training is more for the human than the dog — dogs follow formulas

“You can’t fix the root of the problem and expect to keep the symptoms. That dog is gone. And that’s a good thing.”

Brittney announces the launch of her online training program with multiple price points — from $5 quick wins to in-depth transformations. Stay tuned and get on the waitlist!
