Eps 139. Does A Dog Need Playmates?

from The Dynamic Dog Owner · host Debbie Potter

Debbie talks about one of the most misunderstood aspects of dog ownership: whether dogs need friends and playmates, and if so, how many. She challenges the idea that a well-socialised dog must be friendly with every dog it meets, drawing a parallel with human friendship circles to explain why dogs thrive with a small number of close, well-matched companions rather than a broad social network.  Get your 3 Day Free Trial at The Potter Pawcademy - Start Now! https://potter-pawcademy.mn.co/plans/1820577?bundle_token=01b2cc425e6324dc8f034beb4fc55837&utm_source=manual Get our emails - https://mailchi.mp/potterpaws.co.uk/jointhelist
