Are you giving your dog endless fetch sessions, enrichment activities, and walks—yet still seeing behavior worsen? You’re not alone!

In this episode, I share my journey of discovery, questioning the conventional advice out there. I’ll walk you through how traditional training might be unintentionally adding stress and agitation instead of improving your dog's behaviour.

In today’s video, I’ll cover:

• Why more exercise and enrichment might not be the answer.
• The potential downsides of "excitement-based" training.
• The hidden benefits of a stress detox for your dog.
