#14: Navigating life with your dog in the trigger jungle called sub-divisions

Unless you have a dog who was well socialized as a puppy, who loves other dogs and people and who seems to be the ‘friendly happy-go-lucky’ type of dog nearly all people dream of sharing their life with…..in other words the ‘perfect pet’...... you are likely to run into some behavior issues with your dog - if you are someone who is already living in, soon moving into, or dreaming of moving into one of the many sub-divisions that are being built in almost every city in the US and around the world. 

In this episode I talk about how important it is to understand your dog's 4 L.E.G.S.® (Learning, Environment, Genetics & Self) and WHY your dog reacts to certain triggers or stressors and HOW you can best help your dog navigate life in a sub-division.

Sub-divisions are especially tricky to navigate for so many dog breeds and they desperately need your help. This episode sheds light on the many difficulties our dogs find themselves faced with in these tight-knit communities and HOW to help make life easier for your dog.

Thank you for listening with an open mind, heart, and soul,

Vivi MJ
