24. The Loaded Choice - Where & When Your Dog Should Make Its Own Decisions

Join LWDG Founder Jo Perrott with Experienced Trainers and LWDG Experts – Claire Denyer, Sam Thorneycroft-Taylor, Rose Setten, Emma Stephens, Abie Reid, Nicci Kenny and Jemma Martin as they discuss how we can give our working dog ‘choices’ when training. As a dog owner and handler, I'm sure you have seen a lot of bad choices made by trainers, owners and dogs when it comes to obedience and behaviour, and it seems that many people have lost sight of the true meaning of the word "choice" when it comes to training their dogs.  The word ‘choice’ is both a contentious and emotive issue, as the LWDG Experts reveal in this highly engaging and informative discussion. In this episode of LWDG PODDOG, we'll be discussing what choice means for a dog and how to train them to make the right choices.
