    Is walking your dog a dreaded activity? If it is, you're not alone.

However, the vast majority of dog owners abandon walking or running with their dogs because the activity is either miserable or unsafe.

    Encore No Tiny Change
    Feb 26 2020
    In the words of famed Russian author Leo Tolstoy, “true life is lived when tiny changes occur.” Be that as it may, I’m not sure the new puppy you just brought into your household considers being plucked from the midst of everything and everyone it knew and then supplanted in a strange environment inhabited by unknown people as a tiny change. And, as soon as your new puppy starts chewing on your furniture, peeing on your carpet, and keeps you awake all night, neither will you. Fortunately, the harmful stress and anxiety that often accompanies the arrival of a new puppy into any household are easily mitigated if you know what to expect, and you are prepared to make the necessary adjustments that will be required to smooth over the transition for everyone involved. Tune in this week and listen to Bryan as he explains what you need to know and do before welcoming a new puppy into your home. Bryan will also be answering listener questions and emails.

    Encore Housebreaking 10 Steps to Success
    Feb 5 2020
    Housebreaking can be an incredibly frustrating and long process if you’re unsure how to approach the task, which is frequently the case. The advice you receive from friends, family, and the internet is often incorrect or misleading, especially in regard to the amount of time and effort that will be required to train your dog to reliably go potty outdoors and not indoors. However, successful housebreaking doesn’t have to be so scary or painful. It just requires patience, consistency, and a small bit of knowledge about your dog’s natural behavior. Listen this week as Bryan takes the pain out of housebreaking! Bryan will also be answering listener training questions. If you have a question you would like Bryan to answer on the show, send it to Bryan@TamingtheWild.com
