Different Behavior Starts With a Different Experience
Send Mary a message When podcaster Andrew Huberman recently interviewed Cesar Millan, it got me thinking about how people approach relating to their animals differently, and how most of the conversations around training methods often stop at the wrong question. Instead, I invite you to ask yourself: What kind of experience is my animal having?

In this episode, she breaks down what that actually means, using two real examples: a senior dog struggling with stiffness and a horse with tight shoulders. You'll hear how following what feels easy, rather than pushing against what's hard, can open up movement in ways that forcing simply can't. Whether you work with horses, dogs, or both, this one ...

Send Mary a message When something feels off, the instinct is to fix it. But pushing for correction often triggers resistance in the nervous system, whether in your own body, your horse, or your dog.
