Teaching Neutrality in a Stimulating World

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of teaching dogs neutrality in response to stimuli and how to create safe experiences for them.

Dogs aren’t struggling because they haven’t been exposed to enough—they’re struggling because of how their nervous system is processing what they’ve experienced. In this episode, we break down the role of emotion in exposure work and why neutrality is the true marker of success. You’ll learn how to move beyond “just getting them used to it” and instead begin shaping experiences that help your dog feel safe, regulated, and capable in a stimulating world. dogspeak101.com dogspeakgeek.thinkific.com patreon.com/dogspeak Aggression and Reactivity Summit Live Q&A
