Making things better is the key no matter what challenge you have, and it will give you relief from frustration and allow you and your dog to experience two-sided joy.
In this episode you’ll hear:

• Strategies to address these frustrations and make life better for you and your dog.
• Importance of reframing language and expectations in dog training.
• Using the concept of "making it better" rather than aiming for perfection.

• How to take quick intentional daily action.
• My special opportunity to join Home School the Dog for deeper assistance in addition to my YouTube resources.

| 0:00.0 | I asked Chat GPT, what were the top 10 frustrations of dog owners worldwide? |
| 0:05.4 | And it came back in interesting lists. I'm sure you could guess what they are. |
| 0:10.7 | So in today's Shape by Dog episode, I'm not only going to share what those top 10 frustrations are. |
| 0:15.3 | I'm going to share what you can do to help make it better for you and your dog. Hi, I'm Susan Garrett. Welcome to Shape by Dog. And for some of you, today's message will be |
| 0:35.1 | critically important. There's people that are going to be listening |
| 0:38.2 | to this podcast that are at their wits end or potentially they're thinking of rehoming their puppy |
| 0:44.5 | or their dog because they just feel like a failure. They feel that they can't reach the dog. |
| 0:48.9 | They can't help the dog. This podcast episode is for you. Or if you know somebody who you believe is in a similar situation, |
| 0:56.6 | please share this episode with them. So, let me begin by sharing what Chat GPT believes is the top |
| 1:02.8 | 10 frustrations of dog owners worldwide. So the number one frustration is dog training. I know that's |

| 1:18.1 | inability to train your dog or you feel like you don't have enough time to train your dog or |
| 1:22.4 | whatever it is dog training related. Number two, definitely related is your dog's behavior. Now, I believe dog |
| 1:29.7 | training can overcome a lot of dog behavior, certainly not all of it, but a lot of it. But that's number |
| 1:34.4 | two, according to chat, GPT. Number three is concerns you have about your dog's health. Number four, |
| 1:40.3 | time constraints. Many people might feel a little overwhelmed with all you have to do and how little |
| 1:44.5 | time you have to do it in. Number five is your dog's destructive behavior, which to me, |
| 1:49.2 | that is both number one and number two, but I digress. That's what Chad. GPT said. Number six and |
| 1:53.6 | seven relate to the communication barrier between dog and owner. And that really is all about |
| 1:58.8 | you understanding your dog's way that they communicate with their |
| 2:02.7 | body and their vocalization, their eyes, everything. And you can get a great jump on that one by |
