Think your dog is “just being stubborn”? Nah. You’re probably just boring.

In this episode, Shannon breaks down the cold, chewy truth about attention, engagement, and why your dog might be ghosting your recall like it’s a bad Tinder match. From misused cues to underwhelming rewards, we’re tackling the myth that your dog is ignoring you out of spite — and replacing it with real-world tools that actually work.

Because stubbornness isn’t a behavior problem.
It’s a motivation problem.
And if your dog isn’t paying attention?
That’s your cue to get more interesting.

Whether your dog pretends not to hear you at the park or just stares through your soul when you say “come,” this episode is your sassy, practical wake-up call.

Listen if:

• You’re tired of yelling “COME!” to no avail

• You’ve ever blamed your dog when the real issue was your treat game

• You need a kick in the leash about building value in your relationship
