Description

Is your dog chewing furniture, barking nonstop, or destroying toys in minutes?


What if they're not misbehaving—but actually asking for more? In this episode of The Dog Who Asked for More, we dive into what destructive behavior really means—and how enrichment toys designed for real dogs (like those from Soda Pup) can give your dog the outlet they need. You'll learn how training, enrichment, and even nutrition intersect in ways that help your dog feel safe, seen, and satisfied.


In this episode:

  • ​Learn how enrichment reduces stress and curbs behavior issues
  • ​Understand why tough toys fail—and what materials actually last
  • ​Hear practical tips for managing picky eaters, power chewers, and anxious pups through enrichment

Hit play to discover how smarter enrichment leads to better behavior—and a happier, healthier dog.
