212 | Why Your Dog Pulls on Leash No Matter What You Try

If you joined me last episode, I might have to apologize 'cause kinda got a little crazy.

Little bit crazy.

Always happens when I talk about tools.

Wasn't just the tools, though.

Wasn't just the dog training tools.

It was the horrible marketing and advertising and making you feel like garbage, and I'm just, I'm sick of it.

Wait a second, this isn't about that.

Listen, if you missed that, go back and watch, watch? Like I did it on video? No.

Go back and listen to that episode.

Uh, today I'm gonna continue the, that a little bit.

I mean, not the same.

It's not just gonna be me ranting about bad marketing and making people feel like garbage to sell a product, but I do wanna continue this talk about the fact that the tool isn't the point.

This idea that once you start to understand this, once you get this, you will be set free, my friend.

If you've ever found yourself standing in a front of, like in a pet store looking at all the different training equipment and tools and wondering, "What should I get?" Beyond the cute stuff.

I mean, I've been in the pet store, too, looking at the, like, "I wonder, does this color go well with my dog?" I mean, I'm, [laughs] I'm all about the fashion.

But if we're talking about, like, you're, you're trying to find a tool, your dog is pulling, you're like, "Which tool should I get?" And you're looking, you're standing in front of a wall full of, quote, unquote, solutions.

They even come right out and say things like no-pull harness.

[laughs] I just...

Which still makes me laugh.

It's a no-pull harness.

We've, we've, we've created a harness that is originally made for pulling, and we've decided to make it no pull.

Wow.

The magic of marketing.

It's beautiful.

Anyway, but if you've ever found yourself doing that, standing there going, "I don't know which tool to get," or even worse, wondering, "I don't know which tool I should get based on public viewpoints," then this episode is for you, my dog-loving friend.

Today, I'm gonna be talking about why your dog doesn't want to walk with you.

That really is the question we need to ask.
