Episode What Happens When Guests Ignore the One Rule You Set for Your Dog | Dog Behavior
Have you ever asked a guest not to pick up your dog, only to watch them do it anyway?
Holiday gatherings fill the house with people, and not all of them will listen when you set a boundary for your dog. A dog who’s already overwhelmed by noise, new smells, and people coming and going doesn’t have much room left when someone pushes past that line. This episode is about reading your dog before it gets that far, giving them a way to step away, and knowing it’s okay if they skip the gathering completely.
You’ll hear:
• Why Fitz starts barking all over again every time a guest stands up and sits back down, and what helps him settle • What happened when guests picked Toby up after being asked not to, and the house rules that came out of it • The early signs your dog is overwhelmed, from pacing to hiding under the table • A make-ahead frozen enrichment idea for the big day, and what to do if your dog won’t touch food
Press play if your dog’s comfort keeps getting overruled by people who mean well.
