S03 EP02: STOP TRYING TO CONTROL YOUR DOG

Season 3 · Episode 2

Monday, March 4, 2024 • Duration 15:32

In this episode of the Robotic Dog Podcast, hosted by dog trainer Brittney Howard, the focus is on the concept of control in human and dog relationships. Brittney emphasizes the importance of moving away from a controlling approach in training, relationships, and life itself. She shares insights from a TV show business conference where mentor Stephanie Odea introduced the idea of following the pull instead of the push in life, suggesting that one should go towards what naturally attracts them. Brittany applies this philosophy to dog training, arguing against the forceful correction of dogs and in favor of creating circumstances that encourage dogs to follow willingly. She discusses her preference for using retractable leashes and prong collars for training, aiming to create a positive and desirable attitude in dogs towards their owners. Brittany also touches upon her personal experiences and the overall ease of dog training when approached correctly, urging listeners to engage with the podcast and share their own dog training journeys.
