Hey Dog Lover,You’ve probably heard it before — or maybe even said it yourself:“He’s just social!”“She’s friendly!”“They love other dogs!”But here’s the thing: “social” isn’t always what you think it is.And in a multi-dog home, it might actually be the source of your tension.In this episode, we’re digging into the four types of canine sociality — asocial, antisocial, social, and pro-social — and how this spectrum plays out in real-life relationships between your dogs (and between you and your dogs, too).We’ll talk about:Why “friendly” often means boundarylessWhy some dogs bulldoze others while others withdrawHow you might be acting social instead of pro-social with your own dogAnd what a truly pro-social pack actually looks likeThis episode might change the way you see your dogs — and your role as a leader — for good.Hope you enjoy this one. See you in the next episode!Tracy xoxoxoNext Steps:👣🐾If this episode hit home — if you found yourself thinking “Oh no… my dog might not be pro-social” or “I’ve been labeling my dog ‘friendly’ when really… they’re just kind of rude,” — then here’s the truth:You don’t just need more training tools.
