66 | Understand Your Dog’s Love Language: When Affection Isn’t Always Welcome
Hey fellow dog lover! 🐾
Does your dog bite or nip every time you try to show them affection? It might be time to rethink how you’re connecting with your dog. In this Q&A episode, I tackle the tough question: "My dog bites me every time I pet him—how do I prevent that?"
The answer might surprise you: stop petting the dog. 😧
While this isn’t the answer most dog lovers want to hear, respecting your dog’s love language is essential rather than teaching them to tolerate ours.
Not all dogs enjoy physical affection, and understanding what makes your dog feel safe and loved is key to building a stronger bond.
If you’ve ever felt confused about how to show affection to a dog that doesn’t like being squished, this episode is for you.

64 | The #1 Mistake Dog Lovers Make When Handling Fearful Behaviour.
Hey, fellow dog lover! 🐾
Are you ready to step up for your dog with confidence? In this episode, I’m sharing why having a plan is the number one thing you need to help your dog feel safe and secure. The best part? Your plan doesn’t have to be perfect—it just needs to include what you want your dog to do and how you’ll guide them to success.
I’ll dive into tools and techniques that can make a big difference, like my personal example of door etiquette when repair people visit. These small strategies can create massive shifts in how your DOG sees you handling challenging situations.

Ready to start the new year with confidence and clarity? In this episode, I’m sharing the one thing I want every dog lover to know going into 2025: You are enough for your dog.
We’ll explore why the dog training industry often leaves us feeling less-than, why treats are great for teaching but not for building respect, and how showing up consistently is the foundation of a strong, trusting relationship with your dog.
If you’ve ever doubted whether you’re the right person for your dog, this episode will remind you that everything you need to create an amazing bond is already inside you.
