    Situational Awareness

    Situational Awareness

    This week, Jess and Scott discuss the importance of situational awareness, especially when it involves our dogs. It is your job as a dog owner to do your absolute best to be in tune with the environment and energy surrounding you and your dog at all times. 
     
    Why is situational awareness absolutely paramount when hiking off leash?
    If one need to improve his or her situational awareness, where should that person begin?
    How aware are you of how a certain situation made you and/or your dog feel before, during, and afterward?

Magaly Sandoval ,

Our #1 podcast !

Scott and Jess are my Doggie Bible ! I started listening to their podcast at the height of our behavioral issues with our pup. “Control creates calm” brought me to tears. I am lucky enough to have worked with Scott and Jess in person after that. I listen to their podcast religiously and we love the little quirky tip of the day ! < oink oink > thank you for all you do and if you haven’t checked them out yet, what are you waiting for !?

K9Riot ,
