What should you do if your dog growls at a stranger? How can you safely introduce them to someone new? In this episode, we’re talking about what to do instead of trying to ‘correct’ growling, barking, or lunging with a command - and keep everyone safe.

• → Why it's dangerous to try to stop a growl
• → How to read your dog’s early warning signals - before things escalate
• → What to do when your dog growls or barks.
• → How to set up safe, low-stress introductions with strangers, friends, or pet sitters

This episode is packed with real-world examples and practical strategies to help your dog feel calm (and help YOU feel confident) so you can enjoy stress free walks together.

"There isn’t a ‘command’ we can give to instantly make a dog feel safe or relaxed. Emotions don’t work that way - for dogs or for us." 💬
