Ep 151A State That Becomes A Trait

This week, Scott and Jess discuss different behavioral issues that may pop up over the first two years of a dog's life that then in fact seem to mold into that dog’s temperament.

This week we acknowledge those factors and also discuss how we as owners play a role in this dynamic. How can fear, aggression, or anxiety be created by the owner? Why do some breeds seem to have more of a prevalence of certain traits than others? What is the best way to prevent a state from becoming a trait?
