About this episode
In this episode, we dive into the common mistakes dog owners make when leaving their dogs behind. We discuss:
- The human way of saying goodbye and why it feels natural but can create anxiety for your dog.
- Why this approach often leads to unwanted behaviors like barking, whining, or destruction.
- How to leave your dog behind in a way that promotes calmness and confidence.
We also answer a listener question: "What's the #1 thing you would start with when training an 11-week-old puppy?"
