(#17) Dog Ownership: Vision Vs Reality

Episode 17

Friday, August 4, 2023 • Duration 26:08

We all have an idea of what we would like to look like when we get a dog. Whether that be an adventure partner to go hiking/camping with, a sport dog, or just a family pet who loves to snuggle up on the couch and watch Netflix. But what happens when that ideal vison just doesn't happen? Maybe our adventure dog is reactive or has zero recall. Or maybe our chill pup has endless amounts of energy and no off switch. What do we do?

In this episode you'll hear:

How to understand what your vision for dog ownership is/was, even if you didn't know you had one
Identifying why your vision might not be matching up with your dog owning reality
What you can do to help move towards that dream
