About this episode

This episode discusses how many dog behavior problems stem from stress and miscommunication rather than stubbornness.

Many behavior problems are rooted in stress, confusion, fear, frustration, or overstimulation, not stubbornness or “bad” behavior. Owners often misread what their dogs are actually communicating. Dogs cannot explain emotions with words, so behavior becomes communication. If you need help housebreaking your new puppy, visit pottytrainingyourpuppy.com for FREE resources.
