I dropped a new YouTube video breaking down one of the most common mistakes I see:
âĄď¸ âStop Repeating Commands â Hereâs What It Teaches Your Dog "
đŻ The core idea:
If your dog isnât responding to commands like sit, come, or down, itâs often NOT stubbornness â itâs that theyâve learned the pattern youâre reinforcing, not what you intended. Thatâs a huge mindset shift because it reframes âfailureâ as miscommunication between you and the learner.
đĄ Why this matters here:
Whether youâre training a dog, building a new habit, or coaching a teammate, the same principles apply â repeating the wrong cue repeatedly doesnât produce mastery. You need clear signals + consistent reinforcement.
đ Discussion Prompt:
Whatâs a situation in your life where youâve been repeating a âcommandâ (to yourself or someone else) that hasnât been working â and how could you reframe it so the result changes?
Letâs unpack the parallels between dog training and habit/skill building! đđ
