Our Misleading Dialogue

When it comes to training or trialing in Scent Work, we oftentimes have a running dialogue in our mind that may be less than accurate. Some common examples include:

"My dog is distracted!"

"My dog lies!"

"My dog is so lazy!"

"My leash handling is awful!"

"I cannot read my dog!"

"My memory is terrible, I cannot remember where we have been or what hides I have called!"

These declarative statements become a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts, but they are oftentimes missing the mark or are simply not true. By coloring and skewing our perspective, we prevent ourselves from identifying the real cause of a given issue and devising an appropriate solution.

In this episode, we discuss how easy it can be to fall into these misleading types of dialogues and conversations with ourselves. Being mindful of this pitfall, we can catch ourselves and instead choose to observe what is really going on and come up potential solutions.
