06 Jan 41 The What’s and the Why’s of Animal Training Mentorships
Animal training mentors, role models, and teachers can be incredibly impactful for our growth. This was concept I actively sought when I knew I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could about animal behavior.
We talk about:
Is a mentor a necessity or a luxury?
What to look for in a mentor/role model
Not all relationships last forever
What bad relationships teach us
Why it’s ok to eclipse your mentor’s learning journey
What does your mentor want out of the relationship?
