A rescued dog lost his training, dropping from a 60-second stay to 15 seconds. The speaker realized setbacks aren't failure, just part of how growth actually works. He talks about what that taught him about his own life.

Yesterday my dog forgot most of his training, and really it was the best reminder that I've had all week. So let me tell you the story. The story is that we got him about a year ago, found malnourished on a soccer field. Obviously we gave him all his shots, we rehabilitated him. He's definitely come out of his shell, maybe a little too much because he's hassling the older dogs. And so I tried training him, not much success. So we brought in a dog trainer and for the last few weeks he was making progress. And then yesterday it's like he had a regression. All of a sudden that stay that was 60 seconds was now like 15 seconds at the most. And we had to keep going back because he was regressing. And what it reminded me of is that growth is not always up and to the right. You'll make progress, but there may be a lull, there may be a setback, there may be a plateau before another growth curve comes up. And so that was the biggest lesson that I got from yesterday's interaction, is, is that growth is not linear. It's not going to be up and to the right all the time. So my question for you is this: when was the last time you thought a setback was a failure? Let me know in the comments, and I'll see you in tomorrow's video.
