I like to lead by example.
I hear it all the time people saying they have no time to train when they’re working away. So today I built a small training ground out of things lying around (something I often do).
Is it perfect? No.
But it keeps you training when you have free time, which is essential in this job.
I also decided to demonstrate it myself with my own dog.
You’ll see mistakes in my handling as well. instructors and their dogs aren’t robots we make mistakes too.
I’m 100% transparent about that.
Too many instructors tell students what they should do without being able to do it themselves. I believe in practicing what I preach and letting my students see that mistakes are part of the process.
As long as you’re training, learning, and working to fix those mistakes with a well thought-out training plan, you’re moving in the right direction.
No excuses. Just train.
