Listen Dog Training: The Walk & Talk

Why Your Dog Won’t Stop Barking & What Their Brain Is Trying to Tell You


Listen Later

If your dog is constantly barking at every noise, every passerby, every movement outside the window—or even just at nothing at all—it’s not just annoying… it’s a message.

In this episode, we dig deep beneath the barking to uncover what’s really going on inside your dog’s brain. Spoiler alert: the barking isn’t the real problem. It’s a symptom of something much deeper—nervous system dysregulation.

Whether your dog is hyper-alert, always on edge, or struggling to settle at home, this episode will give you the science, the insight, and the practical tools to help them feel truly safe—and finally bring calm back to your household.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why barking becomes neurologically reinforced, even without 'training' it
  • What the amygdala, HPA axis, and nervous system have to do with reactivity
  • The signs your dog is stuck in a hypervigilant state (that aren’t just barking)
  • Why popular 'quiet' cues or corrections often make things worse
  • Three transformative strategies to help your dog feel safe enough to stop barking
  • How to use decompression walks, environmental safety, and co-regulation
  • Ways to build a calm baseline in your home that supports long-term change
  • The mindset shift that helps you train with more clarity, compassion, and confidence
  • This is the kind of episode that can change everything... not just for your dog, but for your relationship, too!
