85 | 3 Signs You Are Misunderstanding Your Dog and How to Fix it

Hey Dog Lover, Have you ever looked at your dog and thought, “Why are you doing that?” Maybe they freeze, ignore you, or even react in ways that leave you feeling frustrated or confused. It’s easy to assume they’re being stubborn, ignoring you, or just plain difficult. But what if it’s none of those things? What if it’s a misunderstanding? In this episode, I’m sharing the 3 most common signs that you might be misunderstanding your dog—and how a simple shift in perspective can change everything. We’ll talk about: 🐾 Why some dogs seem “stubborn,” when really, they’re feeling confused or unsure. 🐾 Why your dog might be ignoring you—and why it’s not personal. 🐾 How stress and uncertainty can look like aggression (and what to do instead). Because the truth is, every behavior is communication. And when you know how to really listen —through the lens of your dog’s Dogonality —you stop trying to fix behavior, and you start building trust. I hope you enjoy this episode! ❤️ Tracy P.S.
