In Episode 5 of the Kaizen Doggie Dojo Podcast, Trevor Smith tackles one of the biggest challenges in dog training: staying motivated—for both you and your pup.
Whether you’re stuck on the couch, overwhelmed by life, or your dog just isn’t “feeling it,” this episode offers practical tools to reignite your enthusiasm and build a training rhythm that’s fun, flexible, and rewarding.
🎯 Inside this episode:
- How motivation works like a muscle—not a mood
- Why novelty, rewards, and unpredictability trigger focus
- Training hacks like music, timers, and micro-journals
- Ways to make training feel more like play
- How to empower your dog with choice and variety
- This week’s Kaizen Challenge to jumpstart momentum
