Does your dog have a meltdown every time something walks past the window? This is a super common struggle, and no, it’s not because your dog is simply “being naughty” or trying to run the neighbourhood! In this episode, we unpack why window barking happens, why it feels so exhausting, and why the usual reactions often leave everyone more stressed. We talk about what’s actually going on in your dog’s brain in those moments and how everyday life can quietly reinforce the behaviour without us realising. With actionable tips you can implement immediately, we’ll help you move out of firefighting mode to stop your dog barking at the window and regain quiet in your living room. If you’re tired of jumping up every time there’s noise outside, this episode will completely change how you look at the problem. ................ 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!

Have you ever wondered why your dog seems totally fine off lead, but everything changes the second you clip it on, barking, lunging, reactivity towards other dogs? Or maybe it’s the other way around for your dog? This week, we dive into a listener’s question about their dog doing just this after a dog attack and how it’s often more common than you think (whether your dog has been attacked or not!). We explore why a dog’s emotional state can shift so dramatically between these two contexts and why the lead itself can start to feel like a warning sign to them. Then we flip the question and explore where the opportunity is, because there always is one! We talk about how the lead can become a cue for confidence instead of anxiety and how we can help our dogs feel safe again. If you’ve been feeling stuck or discouraged, this conversation will help you see a path forward and understand what’s really going on for your dog. ................

Got an overexcited pup who just can’t keep four paws on the floor when meeting people? This is one of the most common challenges for puppies and adult dogs alike! In this episode, we dig into why the usual advice of “just fold your arms and ignore the jumping” often doesn’t quite work and what’s really happening in your dog’s brain when that excitement takes over. We’ll talk about why some methods might make things worse (without you even realising) and what you can do instead to keep the jumping at bay.

Have you ever been on a walk where your dog decides to stop dead in their tracks, refusing to move? They might also lie down and flatten themselves on the ground making it even harder to move them on without dragging them across the pavement (or sidewalk for the Americans). We call this “pancaking”! In this episode, you’ll be introduced to the “pancake dog”. We’ll talk about why they do it and what you can do about it (without having to drag them along behind you!). We’ll be sharing some top tips and strategies for those dogs that just seem to freeze at the sight of another dog, person or other trigger, the ones that flatten at the thought of a walk or those that can’t seem to make it out the door or back home without becoming a pancake! ................
