Is your dog tuned out when it matters most? Do they ignore your cues outside, even though they know it at home? You’re not alone — and the issue isn’t obedience... it’s engagement.
In this value-packed episode, we’re digging into what engagement really means, why it’s the key to joyful, reliable training, and how to become the most reinforcing thing in your dog’s world — without nagging, bribing, or losing your cool.
Whether you’re training a distracted adolescent, building confidence with a reactive dog, or just wanting to feel more connected, this episode is full of science-backed strategies and lightbulb moments to help you turn disconnection into partnership.
🧠 In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What engagement really is — and why it’s more important than obedience
- Why your dog might be ignoring you (and how to fix it)
- How dopamine shapes focus, motivation, and connection
- Three powerful exercises to boost your dog’s engagement right away
- How to reinforce proximity, attention, and commitment — every single day
- The mindset shift that turns training into teamwork
