The #1 Mistake New Dog Owners Make (and How to Avoid It)

There’s so much more to choosing the right dog than falling in love with a cute face. In this episode, I’m unpacking the one thing that could save you years of frustration—and why it matters way more than most people realize. Whether you’re in the thick of it with a dog who’s overwhelming you, or you’re thinking about bringing one home, this is the episode I wish every owner could hear before they got started.

*I don't recommend DNA testing in this episode because of how inaccurate they can be. The other sources mentioned are just as and more reliable than a DNA test in my experience.
