Is Your Dog Friendly?

Today Kim & Laura talk about how to respond to the question "Is your dog friendly?" and all the possibilities that come along with that. Just because your dog might be friendly to people/dogs he knows well doesn't mean he's friendly to everyone.

The Evolution of Behavior - AKA: Connecting the Dots

Behavior is rarely isolated and more often than not one bad behavior can lead to another, more serious behavior if we don't see the potential connection. This episode discusses how to make those connections to prevent possible future behaviors from cropping up. #connectingthedots, #evolutionofbehaviors

Unrealistic Expectations

Kim & Laura discuss what happens when our dogs don't like the things we want or expect them to like. Whether it's playing fetch, riding in the car or even other people & kids. It's important for us to understand what our dog is actually capable of instead of having our own goals and thrusting them upon our dogs even if they don't have the capacity to reach those goals. Just because you like it doesn't mean they will. #unrealisticexpectations, #iwantmydogtolike
