Hey Dog Lover! 🐾

So your dog was “fine” during the day… until they weren’t. The guests are gone, the cookies are stale, and suddenly your pup is pacing, snapping, or flat-out melting down. What gives?

In this episode, we unpack the Holiday Hangover — that post-festivity fallout where stacked stress finally spills over. You’ll hear:

• The signs your dog is approaching their limit 😬

• Why “he’s been fine” might be false reassurance

• Simple shifts to support recovery — like crate time, quiet time, and rhythm resets

Let’s ditch the guilt and get curious. Because understanding how stress accumulates helps us prevent those post-holiday “behaviour surprises.”
I hope you enjoy this one.

Hey Dog Lover! 🐾🐾
This time of year, we humans get a little bit... extra.

Extra people, extra noise, extra sugar… and somehow, we expect our dogs to just “deal with it” in the name of socialization.

But what if holiday chaos isn’t an opportunity to socialize your dog — it’s a chance to lead them?

In this episode, we talk about why “just letting them figure it out” can backfire, and what you can do instead. You’ll learn how to:

• Read your dog’s subtle “no thanks” signals 👀

• Step in and advocate without over-coddling

• Redefine pro-social as something way better than exposure therapy

Spoiler alert: Your dog doesn’t need more exposure. They need you to show up with calm, clarity, and curiosity.
I hope you enjoy this one.

🐾 Hey Dog Lover,

If you’ve been filling your online cart with dog toys and treats this holiday season… let’s press pause.

This episode is a gentle reminder that your dog doesn’t need more stuff—they need you. Your calm presence. Your stable routines. Your ability to lead with confidence when things feel chaotic. That’s the real gift.

We’ll explore how consistency, emotional leadership, and relevance are what actually help your dog feel safe and settled—especially during the holidays when stress can sneak in. So instead of asking “what should I buy my dog?” let’s ask: “how can I be the gift?”

Spoiler: You already are. 💛

We hope you enjoy this episode.
