#188 - Behavior Advice You Couldn't Bring Yourself to Follow

After years of having clients come to us, scared and worried we’re going to parrot advice that leaves their stomach in knots, we’re finally laying it all out there. And yes, it gets a little spicy.

In this episode, Emily and Tiffany talk about bad dog training advice our clients have gotten that is just… not it. Whether it’s advice that hurts the relationship (like nothing in life is free, or alpha rolling), pushes you in the opposite direction of your goal (don’t greet your dog, take food from their bowl), or forces you to meet others’ expectations, not your pet’s needs (no sleeping in the bed, you must go through the door first), just because someone said it doesn’t mean you need to do it. 

Emily and Tiffany walk you through how to spot when this advice isn’t actually for you, what to do when something doesn’t sit right, and how to collaborate to update the plan to something that is for and with your pet, not to them.
