100. The Confidence Myth

from Spirit Dog Training Podcast

If you've been told that "confidence-building games" at home will magically fix your dog's fear or reactivity, this episode may change everything. I'm unpacking one of the most common misunderstandings in modern positive training: the idea that confidence works like experience points you can collect anywhere. I explain why emotional confidence is always context-specific, and how well-intentioned shortcuts can unintentionally stall progress and leave both dog and human frustrated, and what to do instead.
