I recently asked ChatGPT to list the top 10 frustrations people experience with dogs and am covering how to break down dog behavior problems to help make things better for everyone. Making things better is the key no matter what challenge you have, and it will give you relief from frustration and allow you and your dog to experience two-sided joy.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Top 10 frustrations of dog owners worldwide according to ChatGPT. • Strategies to address these frustrations and make life better for you and your dog. • Importance of reframing language and expectations in dog training. • Using the concept of "making it better" rather than aiming for perfection. • Why working on the periphery of challenges is better than diving into the fire. • About using the 4E’s - Enrichment, Engagement, Education, Exercise • How to take quick intentional daily action. • My special opportunity to join Home School the Dog for deeper assistance in addition to my YouTube resources. • Why to focus on progress rather than aiming for instant fixes. • My experience with my puppy Prophet’s fear of men and intentional action to make things better.
