Description
High-performance dogs need high-level recovery—and honestly, so do dog trainers.
In this video, I’m taking the dogs on an evening decompression walk before bed to help them blow off steam, drop their stress levels, and reset for tomorrow's training adventures. But as we hike, I open up about the side of professional dog training people rarely talk about: the emotional energy it takes to hold space for stressed dog owners and run a high-demand obedience program.
Whether you're an amateur working with your first high-drive dog or a young professional trainer trying to avoid burnout, taking time to decompress isn't just a luxury—it's mandatory for your mental health and your dogs.
📌 In this video, we discuss:
• Why high-performance dogs require decompression hikes
• The hidden emotional toll of working with dog owners
• How to clear your mind before teaching obedience classes
• Evening routines to help dogs (and humans) wind down before bed
💬 To all the young trainers watching: how do you reset after a heavy day with clients? Let's talk in the comments below.
