Eps 135. Stepping Out Of Comfort Zone

About this episode

Debbie discusses the challenges of stepping out of comfort zones in dog ownership, sharing her experiences with her nervous dog Fred.

Debbie talks about the very human side of dog ownership: the anxiety, the negative spirals, and the habit of holding ourselves back even when our dogs are more than ready. Sharing the story of her own nervous dog Fred and their first walk from their new home, she explores why stepping out of our comfort zone is often the hardest part of dog training.
