Episode #3.18 - Why “Well Trained” Dogs Still Struggle: Training Skills vs Emotional Behaviour

Many dogs are beautifully trained, and still struggle emotionally.So what’s going on?In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, certified dog trainer Jamie Watkinson-Harvey explains why behaviour challenges don’t disappear just because a dog knows cues like sit, recall, or loose-lead walking.We explore the difference between learned skills and emotional responses, how stress affects behaviour choices, and why dogs sometimes “forget” training in difficult situations.This episode is calm, reassuring, and designed for guardians who feel confused when training hasn’t solved everything they expected it to.Because behaviour change isn’t just about teaching dogs what to do.It’s about helping them feel safe enough to do it.🎧 New episodes every Tuesday at 8am GMT📍 Available on YouTube via @PTA_DogFor personalised, force-free behaviour support online, visit:🌐 www.pta.dog© Pawfect Training Academy.
