“Over”-Arousal with Megan Foster

About this episode

Sarah and Megan discuss the concept of arousal in dogs and how to manage over-arousal behaviors.

One of the biggest buzzwords in dogdom is “arousal.” Join Sarah and guest Megan Foster for this special crossover episode with the Fostering Excellence in Agility Podcast to discuss what arousal is, what behaviors are actually driven by it, and what to do if you believe your dog to be “wrongly” (or “over”) aroused. www.fxagility.com Sign up for courses and join the membership here: sarahstremming.com Join us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/cogdogradio Music by AlexGrohl from Pixabay
