121 | He’s Just Not That Into You (Yet): Why Your Dog Ignores You

Hey Dog Lover 🐾 Ever feel like you’re head-over-heels for your dog… but the feeling’s not exactly mutual? You’re bringing the snacks, the snuggles, the “who’s a good boy” energy—and he’s over there sniffing dirt like you don’t even exist. Yeah. We’ve all been there. This episode is your loving-but-honest wake-up call: If your dog only checks in for treats, ghosts you in new places, or forgets you exist on walks—it’s not because they don’t love you. It’s because they’re not into you… yet. We’ll cover: Why dogs aren't loyal to feelings—they're loyal to experiences The “He’s Just Not That Into You” dating metaphor that explains so much How to stop begging for attention and start earning curiosity The “Play Hard to Get” strategy to make yourself magnetic again How connection → curiosity → leadership (in that order) This isn’t about obedience. It’s about relevance. And it starts with you becoming the most interesting thing in your dog’s world. Hope you enjoy! Tracy P.S.
