About this episode
Mark Coleman has spent years educating himself on dog training even though he primarily uses a pro trainer due to not having the resources one might need or want to train their own dogs. He recognized that even when you send your dog off to the pros, you still need to understand and be able to maintain that training once you get the dog back. Through his self education journey, he recognized there are common threads between all quality trainers and the one he likes to focus on is the mental side of training.
Always or never! You're always training the dog
Maintaining the standard w/ family involved
The main common thread between methods: The Mindset
Matching the correct method with the right owner/dog
Balance your goals and keep the fun!
