AccettaWelcome. My name is Michael, etc.. I'm the founder of Matador Canine Brilliance and author of The Dog Training Chico's. You're listening to the Acknowledge Dogs Podcast Today we are talking about the mistakes that everybody makes. I've made them. Other trainers I know have made them, and they're not something that you necessarily think about all the time until someone calls them out. 00;00;30;00 - 00;00;50;15Michael J. AccettaThat's my job. I got to call out the things that we don't see all the time. Once I realize that that's happening in my life, I have to tell you guys about it. I tell you about it, and then you go, Huh? Yeah, I guess I do that, too. And we all grow as a community, as individuals, and together we're all going to grow and move on, and our dogs are going to get better and better. 00;00;50;19 - 00;01;18;23Michael J. AccettaMy goal is to push the industry forward. That's my long term goal, right? I've seen the past. I've seen the present. I don't know what the future holds, but I want dog training as a whole to become better and better. I'm tired of it being stagnant, sitting still, using old technologies I want to learn new things. And by doing that, by giving you information, everybody starts to learn the things that I know and they'll bring new things to the table. 00;01;19;15 - 00;01;36;07Michael J. AccettaWhat if everybody's trying to catch up? We can't move forward. At least that's what I think. So please take the resources that I give you. Listen to the podcast listen to the episode.

Okay, so we're talking about a dog's didn't have that, didn't have any aggressive issues or behavior problems, but it behaved poor poorly for what the family wanted. They wanted a perfectly well-behaved dog that would listen to anything they said Problem was, they weren't practicing with the dog. 00;02;48;07 - 00;03;14;22Michael J. AccettaJust like anything in life, you need to practice in order for it
