372: "My Dog Deserves Better"

In this episode (20:34) We've all said it. "My dog deserves better." Maybe after a missed contact, a wide turn, or one of those runs where nothing clicks. But what does that phrase really mean? In this episode, we look at where it comes from, how it shapes the way we see ourselves as handlers, and what our dogs actually need from us. You Will Learn Why "my dog deserves better" comes from love and care, but can slowly turn into guilt. How to tell the difference between healthy accountability and self-blame that holds you back. Why having a super talented dog can feel like pressure instead of joy, and how to flip that around. Esteban's advice to reframe your language so it builds confidence instead of doubt.
