10/12/24 • 54 min

Sarah Dixon and Tyler Muto field questions from our Consider the Dog members covering some pretty interesting topics... For instance - they talk to a member who is working with a very volatile dog, herding mix, who is throwing tantrums any time any type of pressure is applied. They also share some pro-tips with a member who has a dog who keeps sneaking things off the counter, but only when they are not in the room.

And finally, they help a member with a dog that moved from the big city to the country and is shutting down when it sees bugs, of all things.
