The One About Building a Village Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

Dogs and Humans are very social animals, we rely heavily on our packs (or villages) to feel safe, supported, and loved. As a dog owner, not everyone in our tribe will understand or support how you choose to train your dog. Jeff & Liz talk about how to frame these sometimes difficult conversations and boundaries with other members of your tribe. It’s not always easy to be an advocate for your dog, but we promise you it is worth it.
