Do you struggle to get your partner, spouse or significant other to do things “the right way” when it comes to your dog?

Do they feed, walk or let your dog out incorrectly? 

Maybe they don’t quite get it right when greeting and interacting with your dog?

Do they get your dog too excited or play with your dog at inappropriate times?

Maybe they just don’t seem to understand how to meet your dog’s needs?

Do you and your partner, spouse or significant other have different views on dog training and ownership?

Just WHAT do you do when it comes to sharing a life with your partner, spouse or significant other – or even other family members - and your canine companion(s)?

In this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, we’re here with something pretty BIG! We’re here with a BRAND-NEW solution to ALL your training struggles, whether it be canine OR human!

It can be really stretching when you and your partner disagree, don’t see eye to eye or just aren’t on the same wavelength when it comes to your dog. It can put a strain on your relationship and cause a lot of negativity in the life you have together.

That’s why, in this super episode, we’re here to give you ALL our top tips, super strategies, spectacular solutions and every helpful hack we can come up with to help you find a happy balance in the life you share with your partner and your pooch!

Here’s a sneak peek at just some of the hints and tips we’ll be sharing with you:

• Be patient with them. People don’t know what they don’t know and your spouse may not have signed up for this particular type of dog-owning journey the way you did!
• Rather than focusing on what they might get wrong, help them out by showing them what you DO want them to do. Set them up for success!
• Pick your battles wisely, and don’t make everything a battle.
• Give them space to grow their curiosity, don’t force the learning upon them!
• Catch them doing something right and celebrate that win with them! 
  (This is starting to sound a little too familiar, isn’t it!)
  
  
  

Now that’s a lot, but there’s SO MUCH MORE in the episode! With all these tips, tricks and strategies, you and your spouse will be working as a team in no time and enjoying your life together with your dog!

Welcome to this immensely insightful episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, your one-stop education shop for all things dog training, health and wellness!

Spring is in the air in the UK and the northern hemisphere, so that means it's time to consider ticks, bugs, worms, fleas and all the creepy crawlies that are on their way! 

When it comes to parasite prevention, many dog owners often take a traditional, blanket approach to their dog's wellbeing - with the age-old advice of popping chemicals on or in our dogs on a regular basis without pausing to reconsider the risks involved with regular use of these pesticides and chemicals, not only to us and our dogs but the environment as well!

Did you know that some of the chemicals used in parasite prevention treatments have been banned in agriculture for many years because of their detrimental environmental impact? 

How do you feel about putting something like that on your dog’s skin? 

What about being exposed to it yourself and exposing your family members to it?

We aren’t too comfortable with the idea either, so we decided that it's time to start asking different questions when it comes to parasite prevention for our furry family members! 

In this episode, we want to empower you to be your dog's very best advocate. We want to help you wake up and ask better questions when it comes to your dog’s health and the chemical products you feed them or use on and around them.

From discovering more natural ingredients and alternatives to help with parasite reduction and prevention, to providing top tips and advice on how you can form a more tailored approach to your dog's parasite prevention plan bespoke to your individual dog(s), this episode has it all! 

BREAKING NEWS: We've figured out a way to get ALL of the amazing superfoods, herbs and ingredients into a scoop-a-day supplement for your dog... 

Introducing BUG-K9!
