Description

Has your dog’s behaviour suddenly changed for no clear reason? One week they’re doing great, the next week they’re barking, snapping, or refusing walks, and you’re left wondering what happened. In this episode, we break down how to make sense of those “out of nowhere” shifts, making this seemingly complex behaviour struggle make sense. You’ll learn a simple framework the Behavet team uses every day when assessing sudden behaviour changes in dogs, helping you spot what’s really going on beneath the surface. Whether your dog’s been more reactive, anxious, or just “off”, this episode gives you the insight you need to get them back on track.

................
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!
