Show Notes
Your puppy’s grown into a teenager and they’re pulling, barking, ignoring recall, pestering the kids, and bouncing off the walls. Most owners try to burn it off with more exercise. The problem with that? It can actually make things worse.
In this episode, we’re talking:
⚡ Why high-energy games like ball chasing activate the same stress pathways as fear
⚡ How too much activity can make your dog more reactive and less focused
⚡ The science behind scentwork and how it builds focus, balance, and calm
⚡ How to swap the ‘tire them out’ mindset for a lifestyle that meets natural instincts and restores balance!
If your adolescent dog seems constantly wired, this episode will replace frustration with understanding, and bring calm back to your life.
