Lately I’ve been thinking about hypocrisy in dog training and we discussed it deeply in our latest community call on Skool. If you missed it, here is the link to the recording: https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/themagicindogs.com/Community_Call_200526.mp4 Was such a great topic- felt like a community podcast. Thank you everyone who showed up! 🤗 Honestly, think about it...we ask dogs for incredible levels of self-control: “Hold your down stay.” “Don’t react.” “Ignore distractions.” “Be calm.” “Wait.” Meanwhile many humans can’t sit still for 4 minutes without checking their phone. Can’t tolerate boredom. Can’t delay gratification. Can’t regulate frustration in traffic. Can’t stay calm when emotionally triggered. Can’t resist snacks, scrolling, dopamine hits, or constant stimulation. Yet we expect another species to master impulse control while we struggle with it ourselves. That’s humbling. I’m not saying don’t train dogs. Of course we should help dogs build regulation and resilience. But maybe part of ethical dog training is also asking: “How developed is MY nervous system?” “How much pressure do I place on my dog compared to myself?” “Am I teaching regulation… or demanding suppression?” Sometimes I think the best dog trainers are the people willing to train their own humanity too. Dogs may actually be inviting us into deeper practice: Patience. Presence. Simplicity. Emotional regulation. Tolerance for stillness. Nervous system regulation. Not perfection. Practice. Let me know what you think, Much love, Birdy 💛
