| 0:00.0 | This podcast episode is for everyone who owns a dog. It's for new puppy owners, new rescue |
| 0:05.0 | owners. It's for people who are in the midst of a challenge. It's for people who are working |
| 0:10.8 | towards a big, hairy, audacious goal, like working in a sport, a dog training sport, being the |
| 0:18.1 | best at something. It's for anybody, including professional dog trainers. |
| 0:22.6 | It's even for someone like me because this podcast episode is about moving forward. |
| 0:27.4 | Hi, I'm Susan Garrett. Welcome to Shape by Dog. Now, this topic is one that I spoke about |
| 0:43.6 | recently at our Inner Circle Live event. And it's about connecting the dots. It's about |
| 0:49.4 | achieving your goals. It's about setting your goals. Really, I've talked a lot about goal setting on this |
| 0:55.8 | podcast, but there's something else. There's a reason why people aren't getting success with |
| 1:00.8 | their dogs. So, think about where you are right now with your own dog. Are there goals |
| 1:05.7 | that you set maybe a year ago that you haven't even touched? Are there things that you thought are going to |
| 1:12.0 | turn out differently than where you ended up today? Are there things that you're still working |
| 1:16.5 | towards, but you're really struggling at the rate that you're traveling? Or have you just given up |
| 1:22.5 | altogether? Because if you have a puppy, if you have a new dog, if you have a dog that you're challenged with, |
| 1:28.4 | or if you have a family pet, what's going to happen is you're either going to be applying a daily |
| 1:34.9 | training program that's leading you towards somewhere or you're managing that dog's behavior, |
| 1:40.1 | which probably means more time on a leash, less freedom to enjoy life. Maybe you're walking |
| 1:46.7 | like when it's dark out where you're not going to potentially see other dogs or other people |
| 1:51.1 | because of your dog's behavior. It maybe means you're not taking your dogs on outings or you're |
| 1:56.5 | going to lock your dog up when guests come because of your dog's behavior. Maybe your dog has to spend |
| 2:01.6 | time in a crate or an X-Pen because of a current challenge that you just haven't figured out a way |
| 2:07.0 | to overcome. So, you're either actively training, you're managing. Now, when you're actively |
