Ep 129 Help! My Dog Won't Leave Me Alone

Do you have a velcro dog? No matter where you go or what you do, they always want to be right by your side, looking for attention or trying to play? This week, we’re exploring why our dogs can start to feel more like our shadow, and what we can do to help them get unstuck! While having your dog by your side might sound quite cute, it can actually have some hidden consequences for your dog’s overall behaviour, emotions and rest. We’ll explore the top 3 reasons for this behaviour, and think about some easy ways you can help to grow your dog’s skills to transform this struggle. From rethinking your role in your dog’s life to helping them find enjoyment in other things, we’ll walk you through all of the steps you need to unlock calmness for your dog and a little more ‘me’ time for you! ................Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!Want to join the Help!
