Episode 70
In today's episode of the Pooch Parenting Podcast, we hear a question from a concerned mom whose dog snapped at her toddler and knocked him down. She says, "I'm scared" and I don't know what to do. She is worried that she would be crushed to rehome him, but that she also doesn't want to live in fear of her child getting hurt.
Topics on this episode include:
- why dogs growl and snap
- getting curious about the circumstances surrounding dog behavior we don't like
- using management when living with toddlers and dogs
- how to prevent the dog from feeling uncomfortable
- my favorite pen for dogs (or kids!): Toddleroo Play Yard
- training that does not rely on force, fear or pain
- working with anxious dogs and training strategies that work for all dogs
- reach out if you have your own question that you'd like me to consider for a future episode
