193. Why Force Free Fails High Drive Dogs
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025
Ever found yourself totally confused by the conflicting training advice buzzing around online? It feels like you’re constantly being told to aim for this impossible ideal, a kind of training perfection, that just doesn't seem to work with your chaotic, high-drive gundog. You’re trying to be kind, but your dog is eating the doormat and ignoring your existence. I get it. We’ve been there. This week on Found It, Fetched It, Claire and I are laying it all out: the whole concept of "force free" as it's often peddled online cannot and does not exist in the real world. We champion kindness and reward-based training all day long, but we also live with real dogs who need real boundaries. We want you to feel safe, supported, and confident in saying, "Uhuh, no," when it matters most. Boundaries are not the opposite of kindness; they are the foundation of a safe, happy life for your dog.Thanks for joining us for this episode of Found It, Fetched It. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve got muddy boots and a seasoned dog by your side, we’re here to walk the journey with you. We’re all about real talk, practical tips, and celebrating every little win—because in this world, progress isn’t always perfect, but it’s always worth it.💬 We’d love to hear from youGot a story to share, a question to ask, or just fancy saying hi?
