   Why I Train Dogs the Way That I Do: The Story Behind the Canine Cognitive Challenges Framework

   Today’s episode is a little different. Instead of talking about a specific training problem, I want to share the story of how my approach to dog training developed. The experiences that shaped what I believe about dogs, learning, and responsibility. Because the way we train dogs rarely appears out of nowhere. It grows out of the moments that change how we see them.
