Description

Is your dog marking in the house? Although it’s a common behaviour struggle, it can feel pretty frustrating when it keeps happening despite your best efforts. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the reasons dogs mark and what might really be going on when they do it. You’ll hear a listener’s real-life question that inspired this conversation, plus practical steps to help you understand and manage the behaviour. We’ll talk through common triggers, the role of emotions, and why “rehearsal” matters more than you might think. Whether your dog has just started or has been doing it for a while, you’ll come away with a fresh perspective on what’s happening and what to do next. Listen in to find out how to stop the cycle of marking for good.

................

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!
