About this listen

Hey Dog Lover,

We’re kicking off a brand-new podcast series today called Peace in the Pack — and if you’ve ever found yourself saying, “Ugh, this dog is driving me nuts,” then this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a perspective shift that might just blow your mind (in the gentlest, most supportive way possible, of course 😉).

What if the dog that looks like the “problem child” — the one barking, pacing, reacting — isn’t actually the root of the issue? What if they’re just the messenger?

I’ll tell you the story of Jamie, her anxious dog Daisy, and her sweet new rescue Homer — and how what looked like a simple case of “fix Daisy” turned out to be a much deeper pack dynamic that was quietly playing out under the surface.

We’ll talk about:

  • How canine social pressure flies under the radar

  • What subtle behaviors to watch for (even from the “chill” dog)

  • Why reactivity is often a protest, not a personality

  • And how leadership means observing the whole pack, not just the loudest member

Because peace in your home starts with seeing what’s actually going on — not just what’s barking the loudest.

Hope you enjoy this one — see you in the next one! 🐾
