AccettaYou are the best person to train your dog. You. Yeah. I'm talking to you. You are the best person to train your dog. And in today's episode, I'm gonna give you three reasons as to why that is. Thank you guys for jumping on. Thank you for listening to me today. Of course, I am your host, Michael Seda, author of The Dog Training Cheat Codes, founder of Matador Canine Brilliance, and the host of the Acknowledge Dogs podcast. 00;00;26;06 - 00;00;48;27Micahel J. AccettaWe are talking about why you are the best person to train your dog today. If you don't believe me, just hang in there. Okay? I'm going to go over three very key components to a dog's success and how you already fulfill those needs. Okay. I'm also going to give you a couple of tips and pointers throughout today's episode, and I'm going to mention later on a little more depth than a free download that's in the description. 00;00;49;01 - 00;01;06;00Micahel J. AccettaIf you just want to pause and go check it out right now, you can do that. But I will be talking about it a little bit later. So rule number one, the first key component I want to talk about today with the first one is a level of consistency. You are the best person to train your dog because they're your dog. 00;01;06;15 - 00;01;25;26Micahel J. AccettaYou have access to them. 20 47. Granted, you might go to work sleeping, those kind of things in there. But breakfast, lunch and dinner and breakfast and dinner at least if you work an eight hour day, you can train your dog every single day. If you stay on a schedule, you have it built into your habit. It's a consistent practice. 00;01;26;21 - 00;01;50;24Micahel J. AccettaNow, this is different than if you were to send your dog to a boarding train or to send your dog to a class, or you go to a class once or twice a week. Yes, those are great things. And you're going to be working with your dog in a class that's once a week. And if the trainer is going to be working with your dog in that setting, like I've seen a lot on social media where people go to class with their dog, but they're not the one training the dog. 00;01;50;24 - 00;02;07;02Micahel J. AccettaThe trainer trains the dog in front of the owner and then hands off the leash and expects them to do it at home. That's not how it works. Right? You need to know what you need to be doing. Granted, you don't need to have the level of skill that a professional trainer has. Right. And I don't mean this in a bad way. 00;02;07;02 - 00;02;26;21Micahel J. AccettaBut you could be an amateur trainer and still get amazing results compared to a professional. Now, I don't want you to think I'm calling you an amateur. Amateur is simply someone who does not do it. To get paid as a profession. Right. I'm an amateur juggler. I love juggling. I'm actually pretty good at it, but I would not consider myself a professional juggler. 00;02;26;21 - 00;02;45;23Micahel J. AccettaI still drop things that I can't get the perfect spins if I'm using clubs, but I can juggle clubs. And so there's at different levels. I don't want you to think I'm bashing you by saying you're an amateur trainer. You might be a very good amateur trainer. Above average. Almost at that cusp of professional. But you will not have the experience. 00;02;4
