374: Fail Better

374: Fail Better

In this episode (20:34)

In this episode, Esteban and Sarah talk about what it really means when things go wrong in the ring. A knocked bar, a wrong course, a dog that runs straight to the leash—none of these moments predict your future in agility. Instead, they're feedback about where you and your dog are in your training journey.

You Will Learn
  • The key difference between formative and summative feedback—and how it applies to training and trials.
  • Why tying your success or failure to self-worth actually slows progress (and how to stop doing it).
  • How to read your dog's "mistakes" as information about confidence, arousal, and understanding.
