When your dog struggles with problem behaviors, it can feel overwhelming. But what if the solution didn’t always require more training—and instead started with something simpler?

In this episode, I’m joined by Juliana DeWillems, Certified Dog Trainer, Behavior Consultant, and founder of JW Dog Training. Juliana is also the author of Manage It! Hacks for Improving Your Dog’s Behavior, a faculty member at the Karen Pryor Academy, and her expertise has been featured in National Geographic and Forbes.

Together, we dive into:
✨ What “management” really means (and why it’s not just a temporary fix)
✨ How management reduces stress for both you and your dog
✨ Real-life examples of management strategies that actually work
✨ Why management and training are partners—not competitors—in behavior change
✨ Practical hacks you can start using today

Whether you’re dealing with reactivity, counter-surfing, barking, or just day-to-day chaos, this conversation will give you tools to make life easier right away while setting your dog up for long-term success.
