Have you ever watched those of us who have dogs on the same wavelength as us, and we ask them to do something, and they do it immediately? The dogs are excited and engaged, keen to listen, and can't wait for the next thing we ask them to do. Now, you might look at your dog’s behavior and think, "that's not possible for me!" but I believe it is possible for you, and I believe the possibility is closer than you may think.
In the episode you'll hear:
• How having a dog enthused to work with you is easier than you think.
• The three possible relationships we have with dogs and why I want harmony.
• Why being curious about outcomes creates success.
• A reminder that progress is not linear but a journey of peaks and valleys that teach us.
• How to create value for yourself in your dog's eyes
• Tips for transfer of value with a puppy or rescue dog.
• Why playing games creates confidence and joy in your dog.
• How the layers of learning stack so your dog can be brilliant and engaged.
• That behavior is information about what a dog needs and their communication.
• Why giving dogs a choice makes them enthusiastic about engaging with us.
• About considering ego or soul in your relationship with your dog.

| 0:09.6 | wait for the next thing we asked them to do. And you go, that's not possible for me. Well, I believe |
| 0:15.1 | it is possible for you and I believe the possibility is closer than you may think. Hi, I'm Susan Garrett. |
| 0:31.2 | Welcome to Shape by Dog. |
| 0:32.6 | I believe that a dog responding on one cue, a dog keen to work with you really comes down to one thing, |
| 0:42.1 | and that is the relationship that you have with your dog. You stick with me because I will |
| 0:46.8 | explain what I mean by that. Because yes, of course, the seven things I mentioned in podcast |
| 0:52.1 | episode 189 are important. The dog's genetics and the |
| 0:55.4 | health and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, are all going to have an impact on how fast that |
| 0:59.0 | dog learns or how able they are to learn. But I believe all dogs can have that kind of |
| 1:05.6 | relationship with their owners where they're keen to want to work with them, where they're |
| 1:08.7 | keen to want to learn. And I believe |
| 1:10.9 | it really is easier than what you might think. So, when you think of relationship, I'm going to |
| 1:16.4 | give you three types of relationship that are possible and some of them might be extreme. For example, |
| 1:21.2 | you might have a relationship where the dog does immediate what they're told, the moment they're |
| 1:25.5 | told, because they're afraid of what |
| 1:28.1 | might happen if they don't. So, you're close enough or you're using a remote caller that |
| 1:33.4 | they will do it because they don't want the consequence of not doing. That's a relationship |
| 1:38.8 | based on fear. Now, that relationship on fear is really a one-way relationship. |
| 1:44.5 | I'm doing this because I have no choice. |
| 1:48.6 | Now, the second extreme scenario would be dog that you ask them to do something and if you |
