Dog Works Radio is your home for canine sports, working dogs and training advice! 

Sep 25, 2025

In this bonus Q&A episode of Dog Works Radio, Michele and Nicole Forto digs deeper into the message behind Stop Looking for Shortcuts: Your Dog Deserves Better. She shares what really happens when families hit the “messy middle” of adolescence, why shortcuts set both owners and dogs up for failure, and how lasting transformation comes from consistency, patience, and coaching.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in training, this conversation will challenge your mindset and give you a fresh perspective on building a lifelong bond with your dog.
