Epsiode #4.3 - Bringing Your New Dog Home: What to Do in the First 72 Hours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bringing a new dog home is exciting, but your dog may experience those first few days very differently. They have entered an unfamiliar environment filled with new smells, sounds, people and routines. Welcoming them with visitors, long walks, constant attention and immediate expectations can quickly become overwhelming. In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, I explain how to support your dog through their first 72 hours at home without placing them under unnecessary pressure. You will learn: •
Episode #4.2 - Choosing the Right Dog: Find the Dog That Actually Fits Your Life (opens the original)

We explore trigger stacking, emotional regulation and why yest
Episode #3.24 - The Cost of Always Being "On": Why Some Dogs Never Truly Relax (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does your dog constantly watch the world around them, react to every sound, or struggle to truly settle? In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, certified dog trainer Jamie Watkinson-Harvey explores hypervigilance, the state of constant alertness that leaves many dogs mentally exhausted while being misunderstood as simply "busy" or "intense."
