26: The Five Steps to Productive Action
Do you spend more time Googling how to train your pet than actually training them?
This is a trap that a lot of pet owners fall into and it’s a type of unproductive action.
This episode covers what unproductive action is versus productive action, and how to make sure that you are always taking productive action.
There are five steps to identifying productive action, and anything outside of these five steps is unproductive action. I’m sharing the steps in this episode so that you can use them to guide and inform your training.
If you feel like you’ve spent a ton of time training your pet but you haven’t seen any change in their behavior, you’re probably spending too much time in unproductive action. After this episode, you’ll know how to change that.
