Hey there Dog Lover! In this episode, we tackle 5 sneaky actions that might block your dog’s confidence and weaken the bond you’re trying to build. (Spoiler alert: You might be doing some of them without even realizing it!) From leash pulling to communication mishaps, we’ll cover the common mistakes that are holding your dog back. Here’s what we’ll dig into: Leash pulling: Are you worth hanging out with, or are you just the dope at the end of the rope? Training time: Is it really just about sit and stay, or is your dog picking up on your daily vibes? Yes and no: We can't live in the fantasy world of yes or the dull drum of no—balance is everything. Accountability: Do you mean it when you say no? (Your dog might not think so!) Talking too much: Your dog’s not your therapist (jk but also for real 😉)—less chat, more action! Ready to boost your dog’s confidence and strengthen your bond? You’re in the right place. Hope you enjoy! Tracy P.S. Are we pen pals?
