About this listen

Think a long walk is enough to tire out your dog? Think again.


In this episode, we break down the difference between physical and mental exercise—and why most dogs need both to thrive. From high-drive working breeds to your average family pup, we discuss how lack of stimulation (in either area) can lead to behavioral issues like reactivity, destruction, and anxiety.


We’ll share:

  • Real-life examples of under-stimulated dogs
  • Simple ways to add mental enrichment to your routine
  • The surprising signs your dog might be over-exercised
  • How to build a daily balance that actually works


Whether you’re a dog owner looking to better meet your dog’s needs or a trainer seeking better ways to educate your clients, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.


🐾 Tune in and let’s help your dog work smarter—not just harder.
