The One About Sourdough & Stubborn Dogs ⭐
This week, Bethany and Kait settle in with afternoon coffee and somehow manage to cover everything from sourdough starters and favorite TV shows to board-and-train updates, dog training philosophy, and why trusting your instincts matters more than trying to prove something. They dive into the realities of working with challenging dogs, including the difference between dogs who genuinely try versus dogs who constantly test boundaries, why progress isn't always linear, and the importance of setting realistic expectations for owners. They also share a behind-the-scenes look at making difficult decisions during training and why safety should always come before showing off what a dog might be capable of. Along the way, they chat about: Bethany's best sourdough loaf yet (and her newest rosemary experiment) The surprisingly satisfying process of baking bread Why some dogs need more accountability than others The challenge of sending board-and-train dogs home Learning to trust your instincts as a trainer Why you don't have to force every dog to be social Living with easy dogs after years of training difficult ones Favorite comfort TV shows, books, and nostalgic movies Dance classes, golf lessons, and hobbies they'd love to try Why years seem to fly by while weeks somehow feel so long It's a conversation full of laughs, honest dog training stories, and reminders that sometimes the best episodes are the ones that wander from one topic to the next—just like a chat between friends.
