In this week's episode, Courtney and Skylar discuss what every prospective dog owner should consider before inviting a dog into their home. While dogs are domesticated companions, they are predators nonetheless and many of the behaviors that come naturally to them exist on a spectrum. They explore what predatory behaviors can look like in everyday life, why understanding them matters and how acknowledging these realities allows us to better prepare, manage and advocate for our dogs. The goal isn't to create fear, it's to create informed owners who can make safer, more thoughtful decisions for their dogs, their families and their communities.
