About this listen

 If training feels hard work rather than teamwork, this episode is for you.In this final live of the week, Joanne pulls together everything we’ve explored and explains what actually shifts when you stop guessing… and start understanding what your dog is telling you.This isn’t about better commands.It’s about better conversations.In this episode, we explore:Why training feels exhausting when you don’t share the same “language”Living with a high-drive dog without understanding their operating system is like being abroad permanently — lots of effort, lots of frustration, and very little ease.Why most handlers over-talk, over-handle, and second-guessNot because they’re doing it wrong — but because they’re trying to communicate in human logic with a dog brain.The moment things start to feel calmer (without calming your dog)When you understand state, arousal, and readiness, your timing improves — and suddenly everything needs less effort.Why this isn’t about obedience — or being stricterIt’s about relationship, rhythm, and responding rather than reacting. More like a dance than a drill.How the five topics from this week are actually one problemBeing outpaced, doing more exercise, feeling like a passenger, trying to calm drive, and feeling misunderstood all come back to one missing system.The big takeaway:When you finally “get” your dog’s dialect, the tension drops.You stop guessing.You stop battling.And you start working with the dog in front of you.That relief isn’t accidental — it’s teachable.🎓 What’s next?This episode leads directly into our free masterclass:Holding a Supercar by a ShoestringA live, supportive session on how to finally speak gundog — even if you never plan to see a shooting field.You’ll learn how to:Slow things down mentally (for you)Read what your dog is actually telling youRespond with confidence instead of hesitation📅 Thursday 29th January⏰ 7.30pm (UK)Come live if you can — the energy and clarity are different when we do this together.Thanks for joining us for this episode of Found It, Fetched It.
