How to Use Play to Help Nervous Dogs - Talking Dogs Radio Show
Update: 2025-03-07
Description
In this episode, we discuss how play can be a powerful tool for helping nervous dogs build confidence and trust. The key is establishing structured play first, so your dog understands how to engage in a positive way. We also cover how to introduce new people to your dog using play as a bridge for connection and comfort. When done right, play becomes more than just fun—it’s a way to shape a calmer, more social dog.
