Summary

What you are about to hear could well be a paradigm shift. In dog training lingo, we call the rules we have for our dogs “criteria”. For a dog to have an amazing life there needs to be some training, and your understanding of criteria is going help your dog find joy in all that you do together.

In the episode you'll hear:

• How your dog’s behaviour impacts his life.
• The breakdown of the criteria you need for your dog’s understanding of “sit”.
• What WACC is and how it defines four elements of joy in criteria for your dog.
• The reasons your criteria should change in different settings.
• Why what you are asking needs to be worth your dog’s while.
• About criteria from your dog’s point of view.
• The difference between “want to” and “have to”.
• Another of my pet peeves about dog training.
• What happens when different people in the same home have different rules.
• The importance of consistency and how sometimes is anytime for your dog.
• Why I googled “how do I get my dog to..”
• The three approaches of ignore, manage, or train.

0:00.0	Hey everybody. Welcome to Shaped by Dog. I'm Susan Garrett. And if you aren't ready for a
0:17.2	paradigm shift, you might not want to listen to this episode. I'm pretty confident that for
0:25.1	many of you, after you hear today's episode, you are going to completely shift the way you think
0:35.4	about this particular aspect of dog training. And the idea comes
0:40.9	to me from one of you listeners, Houndhouse, thank you for sending in the request that I address
0:46.4	this topic. I'm going to start though with two questions. Number one, how would you define an amazing life for a dog?
0:57.0	What would that look like?
0:58.5	If you could detail out an amazing life for any dog, what would it involve?
1:07.2	Now, some of you might think, oh, an amazing life for my dog just might be being able to eat all day because that's all my dog loves it.
1:12.9	My dog just loves to eat.
1:15.1	Now, that could be true.
1:16.6	There may be dogs out there that their big event of the day is the chance to eat.
1:20.0	Now, my dogs love to eat.
1:22.3	However, I know they'd like to do things with me more.
1:25.9	So, a lot of times dogs, their big joy in life is eating
1:31.9	because they don't get a chance to do a lot of other things. And why is that? Some dogs,
1:39.2	my dogs, get to go places and do things with me. A lot of times it is because of the way the dog behaves in
1:46.2	public or behaves when they're around other dogs or people or whatever. And so an amazing life
1:53.3	really depends on how much training has gone into that dog, which allows them to do things with you,
2:00.0	like off-leash hiking or playing fetch
2:04.1	in the park filled with other dogs or squirrels. So, what does an amazing life look like for a dog?
2:13.2	And how can we get that? My second question, and this is the topic of today. What does the word
