You know, our dogs can only grow as much as we are willing to grow.

If a fear of judgment or perfectionism, or maybe even some shame is preventing you from

videoing your dog training, you might be unconsciously slowing down your

dog's progression. That is emotional barriers that might be holding anyone back from wanting

A lot of people really enjoyed

that program. So, I think that's a great example of, hey, it doesn't matter. You're not
