79. Training Gundogs: Taming the Perfection Monster and Embracing Imperfection

In this podcast, we explore the pressure of training gundogs to be perfect and how it affects us as women trainers. We discuss the negative consequences of perfectionism, including frustration, burnout, and harm to the dog, and offer strategies for overcoming the perfection monster. We also delve into the benefits of embracing imperfection and celebrating small victories along the way. Join us as we navigate the journey of training gundogs and learn to tame the perfection monster within us.
