“I’ve been following Susan for years and these podcasts are adding another level to my dog training and my life in general! They make me be a better person, a better dog owner, a better parent and look at life in a different way . I’ll give you an example. My 3yr old started nursery after a year of being stuck in lockdown with pretty much just me during the day. On collecting him it was far from the movie moment of him running into my arms . Infact by day 3 he was crying when I turned up to get him . Being dragged away from all that play and peers was not cool . His response to seeing me was getting worse each day. I was at first very upset, it was soul destroying as we have such a lovely relationship. I just happened to be driving home with a SG podcast on .
Make everything a game Anne ! Add value where you can .
I did just that . The next day amongst his tears I asked him to race me to the van . I told him to stretch his arms to touch the van as there was a prize ( adding value for the boring journey) he was reluctant but joined in . Day 2 no tears and ready to race . We are now 4 weeks on and he runs to me arms outstretched for a hug , we race off laughing towards the van seeing who gets there first and he climbs into his seat as fast as he can for his prize ( usually a banana ) . Another win as getting a child into a car seat has never been pretty .
Better dog owner , better person , better parent .
Thank you Susan for continuing to help us all on this crazy game we call life xx”
