58 |Why Are Dogs So Timid These Days? Real Talk: Owners, Breeders, and the "Rescue All" Mentality

Hey Dog Lover! I’m super excited to share the mic with my daughter Paisley for this episode! We’re diving into a big question sparking debate in the dog training world: Why are dogs so timid these days? Paisley takes us back to simpler times, sharing what it was like growing up with dogs and how attitudes toward them have changed over the years. And, we explore the finger-pointing and blame game happening in dog trainer forums—bad breeders, the "rescue all" mentality, and, of course, YOU, the dog lover. But here’s the thing: I believe the real issue runs deeper. From polarized trainer advice to owners feeling lost and overwhelmed, we unpack how today’s dog training culture may be creating more confusion than solutions. 🎧 Join us for a candid, heartfelt conversation about what’s really going on—and how we can all do better for our dogs.
