Eps 143. Why Do We Have High Expectations

from The Dynamic Dog Owner · host Debbie Potter

Debbie talks about the gap between the dog you imagined and the dog you actually live with, and why so many owners feel like they're quietly failing when reality doesn't match the expectation. She unpacks why we only ever see the dogs who find public life easy, why that creates a misleading picture for every new owner, and why a method that worked for someone else's dog might not work for yours. With warmth and honesty, this episode reminds you that your dog isn't broken, you aren't doing it wrong, and there is a community of owners walking the same road. Essential listening for anyone struggling to match the highlight reel.
