| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is brought to you by you because earlier this month I put a story on Instagram |
| 0:07.9 | and Facebook and said, hey, you have questions for me? Let me know and I'll talk about them on a |
| 0:13.6 | podcast. And these are your questions. First question. First question. First round on Facebook. I think there's five or six from |
| 0:31.2 | Facebook. How about the owner's personality and how it affects training, an introvert versus an expert personality, |
| 0:38.7 | for example. I really think as you develop your chops and dog training, you realize that you |
| 0:43.8 | have to be both an introvert and an extrovert. If that isn't the kind of person you want to be, |
| 0:49.3 | you have to choose your dogs very, very carefully. So with my dog, this, I have to be very quiet with my |
| 0:56.1 | movement, but very excited with who I am as a personality. Versus, say, training swagger. |
| 1:03.1 | I could be as, you know, rambunctious with my movement as I wanted, but I have to be kind of |
| 1:09.0 | mellow and more monotone with my voice and excitement level. |
| 1:12.6 | So it really depends on the dog more so than the personality of the person because it comes |
| 1:18.3 | down to what does your dog need? And you have to be that for your dog and learn to be that |
| 1:23.5 | for your dog. Next question. Stick intuitiveness. We could probably do a whole podcast on this |
| 1:29.2 | because this is really about perseverance. Like, how do you persevere when you're in the midst of a |
| 1:34.8 | struggle or an ongoing struggle? And I've made reference to my youngest dog, this. And I guess with |
| 1:42.1 | my puppy, she's not the youngest, but my youngest border collie |
| 1:45.4 | this, she's two and a half and it has not really been easy. The dog training has never been |
| 1:52.4 | easy since she was a wee puppy. So this might be something you've never thought of, but |
| 1:57.7 | how do you define yourself? And that is a question that's answered |
| 2:03.3 | subconsciously. So you have to kind of bring that to the forefront. How do you define yourself? |
| 2:08.9 | If you define yourself as a good dog trainer, I'm a good dog trainer. And you might say, well, |
| 2:14.2 | good dog trainers have an easy time of it. They don't struggle. |
