Are the rules you're following with your dog actually working — or just adding pressure?

If you're raising a big-feeling dog, you already know that one-size-fits-all advice often falls flat. This episode dives into a deeply personal story about how consistency, not control, created the shift one overwhelmed dog needed — and how that insight is now reshaping this podcast to support you even more in 2026.

In this episode:

• Discover why more frequent, bite-sized support is essential for real behavior change — for both you and your dog.

• Learn how three weekly episodes will offer emotional grounding, expert insight, and practical tools you can use today.

• Find out how the lessons from one dog's transformation are becoming a framework for building calm, connection, and clarity in your own home.

Tune in now to hear what’s changing on January 2nd — and how it’s designed to meet you and your dog exactly where you are.
