Make it Weird: Dog Stuff and Occasional Nonsense

Steph and Sienna are burned out and want you to know about it. This is the second episode in a series we're calling MIW Unfiltered, where we will be talking about the elements that make this industry challenging. The topics in this series need to be prominent conversations in the dog world, far more than they currently are.

Ever wondered why we called this 'Make it Weird'? If you missed the 60 sec explanation on Tiktok 2 yrs ago, this is the (much) longer version of that. In this episode, Steph and Sienna discuss what generalization is and what you could do to better generalize some of your dog's behaviours. We also hear how Sienna's construction era is going, and definitely don't get very concerned.
