About this listen
Did your dog grow up during lockdown? You’re not alone — and you’re not imagining it if your once-happy puppy now struggles with anxiety, fear, or reactivity.
In this episode, Amy explores why so many “pandemic puppies” are showing emotional challenges as adults — and what you can do to help. Learn how to recognize early signs of fear, build resilience through safe socialization, use desensitization and counterconditioning effectively, and support your dog’s emotional well-being day-to-day.
Whether your dog hides from strangers, panics when left alone, or just needs a little more confidence, this episode will help you understand what’s going on — and give you the tools to create lasting emotional stability.
