Episode 5 - Congruence
Congruence is a powerful dog-training concept. Your dog is naturally and totally congruent, meaning they act how they feel and they feel how they act. Often, training is approached from an "if I change how the dog feels, he will change what he does" approach. This is a great approach. Equally powerful is the angle of "if I change what he does, he will change how he feels". This podcast explains this idea as it relates to you, your dog, and changing his behavior. Enjoy!
