❤❤❤❤❤Dear Susan Garett thank you so much for this podcast video, i feel you like my family after this!!! Thank you so much, greetings ftom Athens-Greece❤❤❤❤❤❤
My ‘new favorite’ of your podcasts, Susan! I especially love how your “gems” are repeated throughout your podcasts...they “ring the bell” in my mind. That’s learning gold!
Thank you so much Susan. We're not very well off that we can pay for training classes, so I'm just so thankful for all of this knowledge and experience you are sharing with us, it has really changed my life inside and outside training 💗
Thank you for this podcast. My whole adult life my goal was to, when I retire (hopefully early), train a therapy dog that I would bring to different places to bring joy and peace to others. We got that puppy in October of 2019. I was injured in May of 2020, right as the pandemic hit, and my puppy hit adolescence. The injury had me off my feet for 8 months! As my puppy grew, I knew he was developing habits that would take me a long time to break. I have been working with Finn (2.5 yrs old) since I was able to do so. He is learning and I can see all his potential! I'm so thankful I have found your Recallers program and all the resources you have put together to help me keep motivated and use elements that build our relationship as well as create choice leading to my goals for us!
Thanks, Susan! All SO true! Labeling = Limitations Our dogs get distracted, sure - but so do WE! I love Bob Bailey's quote, "We expect way too much of our dogs and way too little of ourselves." Dogs (and children!) are so much better at shaping us than we are at shaping them - we have what they WANT! After years of doing Agility, I learned that any apparent "mistake" by my dog was MY error. Now if I get an unexpected outcome, I don't blame my dog. Instead, I study why my dog thought that was what I wanted. "Bad" (unwanted) behavior by our dogs shows us the holes in OUR teaching.
One of my favorites! Over the years, especially in the beginning", I have heard how "difficult" Siberians are to train. People used every word you listed at the beginning of this podcast. I'm not sure how, but I never believed them. People think I'm crazy when I tell them "I love working with Siberians", "They're brilliant" & "Siberians are easy to train". I have heard I have "mutant" dogs, that must all be related. None of them are related, & all came from rescue, only 1 as a puppy. I have always told my dogs how awesome, good, brilliant, amazing they are, even for the smallest thing. I had already been teaching my dog thru games, & was so excited when I found your programs (I no longer had to think up games to teach what I wanted). One of the first things I teach my puppy & beginner students, is that they cannot use the word "no", or use negative terms about their dogs. Every dog is brilliant, & they are to tell their dogs (& the people in their life) how awesome, amazing, brilliant, etc they are, every chance they get. Example: New puppy sits before being let out of the crate in the morning. They are to mark & praise (Yes! You are so smart!) before bending over, or reaching to open the door, as that will most likely cause the puppy to stand in anticipation (This is all before they have done their "Crate Games" training. I tell them to mark & praise/reward every behavior they like, & to ignore/redirect (unless it's dangerous, then redirect or remove) behaviors they don't. I am thrilled to see so many northern, Spitz, terrier, etc breeds in your programs. There is nothing they can't do!
Hi there! Do you have any resources you recommend? Even your own website? I have a northern breed and I have this exact problem! He's selective, not a drill dog, not big on working, picky eater, not super toy motivated, there's a lot of labels I can throw at him.
This is so true. I tell people fake it till you make it. Act like you feel good & secure and your dog will. I rain people to train their service dogs and train my own also. (Recallers, home school of the dog, dog nation & now podcast)
I added an “awesome” column in my daily recallers journal. This was a terrific message and lesson and echoes what I teach parents with intense children. Thank you for the reminder to apply it to my intense puppy. Fun fact, my puppy’s name means awesome in another language 💕
This was amazing!! Love your podcasts! This made me smile so wide... "What makes you think my puppy's brilliant?" "Because you've been saying that all day" :)
Wish I could be more strict on spending the time to teach my dogs each day, like you said it could be something simple that doesn’t take more than five minutes. This is my new goal!
Thank you for applications that I can apply to my work environment as well as my dog training...and I ❤️ my terriers, but they aren’t the best trained and they came in the house for “cookies” until my cat owning neighbor set out a bird feeder that attract squirrels instead 😜just another layer of distraction, right? 🤣 please keep the podcasts coming!!
This is definitely a huge struggle for me. Our previous dog (a standard poodle), who was my baby, died suddenly in October. Our new shelter dog is a lab and Pitt mix. I never liked labs much, and I was raised in the 80s on the bias against pitts - even though I’ve learned otherwise since then. Plus we have cats. I find myself holding our new dog against our previous one. And I feel hopeless and afraid for the cats, just completely lost right now. My husband fell in love with this new dog and I was excited until I saw her, it’s like a part of me immediately blocked myself off. She was high energy (exuberant) compared to our shy and gentle previous dog. Plus she reminds me that our previous dog is gone. I’m hoping to change that. It’s really hard.
Hi Melissa, sending you lots of love ❤️. We think Susan's last episode with tips for rescue dogs is a great episode to get you going! Here's the link for you: th-cam.com/video/9AoeUZfGbVc/w-d-xo.html
Susan, you make dog training a beautiful path of self awareness and growth.... Just priceless. Thank you! 🙏🙏✊✊
So true!! The understanding of the belief loop changes everything! Your wisdom on dog training is gold,Susan! Useful for life... 👏👏👏👏
Everyone should listen to this at least once a week
I just shared this with a friend of mine who thinks her 2 pups are not awesome!! Thank you Susan!!
❤❤❤❤❤Dear Susan Garett thank you so much for this podcast video, i feel you like my family after this!!!

This is a great podcast not only for dog training but for every day life.
Agree! Sure makes you think a whole lot more on things
My dog is awesome! And so are you!! Thank you for this today- just what I needed.
Excellent words of wisdom whether you're talking about skin children, fur kids, each other or ourselves!

Funny, I just quoted Tony Robbins on your podcast about Donna and her boxer.
He’s amazing.
We create our own reality.

My girl is the best dog in the world. We train everyday and she loves to work!
Yes! Love this.
Thank you again for these true insights into how we and our dogs behave. These podcasts are awesome and I hope you can continue with many more.
Love this!
