360: How Handlers Compromise Good Training

In this episode (24:35)

As handlers, we've all been there—our dogs make a mistake, and suddenly, we feel this overwhelming pressure to "fix it" right away. But in our rush to correct the issue, we often sacrifice good training for mediocre training, just to feel like we've accomplished something in the moment.

In this episode, Sarah, Jennifer, and Esteban each tackle a common mistake handlers make when addressing common training mistakes (yes, that's a mouthful!). We break down why handlers struggle with these moments and how shifting your mindset can help you prioritize long-term success over short-term fixes.
