The Dog Beneath the Behavior

What if the behavior you’re struggling with isn’t actually the problem? In this special episode, Nikki introduces her new book, The Dog Beneath the Behavior, and explores the idea at the heart of it: behavior is communication, and lasting change begins when we stop asking only how to change what a dog is doing and start asking why they’re doing it. This episode gives you a glimpse into the science, stories, and practical approach behind The Dog Beneath the Behavior—without giving away everything inside. Because when we stop focusing solely on the behavior in front of us, we finally have the opportunity to understand the dog beneath it. Purchase Book HERE!
