About this episode
Tara and Laura discuss the dangers of codependence in dogs and provide solutions to help them become more independent.
Can your dog function without you or your other dog? This week, Tara and Laura cover the topic of codependence and why this can be dangerous for your dog. Many dogs are unable to be left alone or they don’t know what to do if they aren’t with your other dog, but this can create a very unhealthy relationship for your dog. They explain why this isn’t cute, but instead problematic for your dog and offer ways to help them overcome the codependence to a human or other animal.
