• In this episode, we dive into the complex world of fear aggression in dogs—one of the most misunderstood behavioral challenges pet owners face. We’ll break down what fear aggression looks like, what triggers it, and why some dogs react with growling, barking, or even biting when they feel threatened.

   

• Join us as we explore expert-backed techniques for managing and rehabilitating fear-aggressive dogs. We’ll also discuss common mistakes owners make and how to create a safe, structured environment that helps your pup feel secure.

Ep237 - Why dogs are creatures of patterns

• Panos shares a recap of 2024, his favourite episodes of last year and what lessons he's learnt in his dog training experience.
• This week's topic was all about dog's being creatures of patterns and as a dog owner, the importance of acknowledging patterns in your dog's behaviour.
• Your patterns of behaviour influence your dog and now that we are back to the beginning of the year, after some time off, you may notice new or challenging behaviour in your dog.
• A dog can be predictable if you can understand their patterns via body language, situational awareness and what motivates the dog. It's easy only once you can be aware of it.
