Fetching Reality: 3 Illusions I had About My Future Dog
In "Fetching Reality: 3 Illusions I had About My Future Dog," I peel back the curtain on the charming yet misleading ideas I had about living life with a dog. I am sharing my own hilarious experiences, from sudsy bathroom escapades to the perplexing world of teaching fetch, and getting a bit serious about a profound understanding of dog social preferences.
Whether it's a puppy turning your living room into a foam party or realizing not every dog is a fetch enthusiast, this episode is filled with relatable stories that every dog guardian will recognize. More importantly, we delve into the deeper lesson about respecting and understanding our canine companions' unique personalities and needs, particularly those of adopted dogs.
Plus, don't miss the chance to enhance your recall training skills with our Recall Reflection Workbook. It's a must-have for identifying patterns and overcoming challenges in recall training, ensuring a stronger bond and safer experiences with your furry friend. Download it now!
