Visit us at shapedbydog.com

Up to this point in your dog’s life, your training might not have worked the way you would have liked it to work. You can fix that with a simple set of progressions, and you can start right now. I know this works as it has worked for every dog I’ve ever raised, including rescue dogs, and it has worked for many thousands of my students. It all starts with arranging coincidences and positive associations.

In the episode you'll hear:

• What my goal is when I am raising a dog.
• How to look at life from the eyes of your dog and arrange coincidences.
• A real-life example of coincidences with a puppy.
• How positive associations can come through you.
• The dog training progressions that I’ve been using for many years.
• How you can start again right now.
• Why we want the correct behaviour to be extremely easy for our dogs when we start.
• The importance of trust, transfer of value, and our dogs making choices.
• How layering of confidence lets you advance your training.
• What the mid-level on my training progressions chart looks like and how choice is in play.
• What I do to set my dog and myself up for success.
• How to create opportunities for choice in training progressions.
• About the advanced stages of training with my adult dogs who have the layers of confidence in place.
• Why my dogs love challenge and why they choose correctly.
• How the connection I have with my dogs, and my students have with their dogs, is possible for everyone.

0:00.0	Everybody, welcome to Shaped by Dog. I am Susan Garrett and today I'm going to share
0:13.7	with you why your training up to this point in your dog's life may not have worked
0:20.2	the way you would have liked it to have worked
0:23.3	and how you can change it with a pretty simple little set of progressions that I'm going to
0:31.0	put forth for you. And why do I know this is going to work? Because it's worked for every dog
0:36.2	I have ever raised and rescue dogs as well
0:39.6	as puppies that I brought into my home. And it's worked brilliantly well for the thousands of
0:46.2	students that have gone through our online program. Currently we have 10,000 students in our
0:50.7	online program, probably more now because we just had a huge number just
0:56.0	add, come to homeschool the dog. Why? Because this system works. And I'm going to share with
1:04.4	you what that looks like. But first, I want to share with you a review. I love reading the
1:10.2	reviews. Please, I love reading the reviews share with you a review. I love reading the reviews. Please.
1:12.1	I love reading the reviews. Leave me a review. I will possibly read yours. This podcast review
1:17.2	comes from Elena C. And she wrote, I went through the homeschool, the dog, free dog training
1:22.4	program when COVID started and now I'm loving your programs. And I see how since then my dog related approach
1:30.0	changed a lot and for the better for both me and my dog. But what I find even more
1:35.4	interesting is that I think it has also influenced my life philosophy. I'm more empathetic to
1:41.7	behaviors I don't fully understand of dogs and of humans.
1:45.6	I'm more patient to give my dog time to adjust and feel comfortable and confident.
1:50.3	But the same is true to my two-year-old nephew who needs time to feel confident in new environments.
1:55.8	And even my boyfriend who doesn't like crowded spaces needs time to adjust.
2:00.2	Now, some of the topics you talk about seem common sense and so strange, it wasn't this way
