February 05, 2025 • Mariano Alvarez / Brent LaBrada / Tyler Muto • Season 4 • Episode 6

Part 2 of 3 with Tyler Muto: Communicate like a leader w/ Tyler Muto

In part two of our three-part series with Tyler Muto, we dive deeper into the essential leadership and communication skills that every dog trainer needs to succeed. Being a great dog trainer doesn’t automatically make you a great manager, and this episode focuses on bridging that gap.

We discuss the importance of self-awareness, listening, and balancing support with accountability when leading a team. Tyler and Mariano explore strategies for addressing challenges head-on, setting clear goals, and fostering a culture of open communication. They also break down the difference between teaching and training, the power of self-review, and how to create structured systems for growth—both for yourself and your staff.

Whether you’re a solo trainer looking to scale or managing a growing team, this episode is packed with insights to help you become a more effective leader.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to master the art of leadership in dog training!

Thanks for listening!!
