  • 96 | The Myth of the "Good Dog "
    May 1 2025

    🐾Hey there, Dog Lover,
    You want to do right by your dog. 💜

    You want connection, confidence… and if we’re honest, you probably want them to be “good.”

    But what does that even mean?

    And who gets to decide?

    This episode unpacks where the “good dog” myth really comes from, how it quietly shows up in our daily lives, and what it might be costing you—and your dog.

    If you’ve ever thought, “She should be over this by now” or “I just want him to be good,” this one’s for you.

    👣Next Steps:

    Inside our student community, you'll learn how to lead your dog with calm confidence—without relying on obedience, tools, or treat-based tricks.
