Reactivity Unpacked: Negativity Bias and Recency Bias in Dogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Negativity bias and recency bias might sound like something from a psychology lecture, but they could be the hidden reason your dog's reactivity keeps coming back. It's easy to think one scary encounter won't matter if your dog has had plenty of good ones. The truth is, dogs are wired to hold on to the bad stuff, and the most recent experience often carries the most weight.

Max jumps in with some of the

Many dogs now live in a constant state of stimulation, always doing, always going, always needing more. In this episode, Jack and Max sit down with Sarah from @TheHumanandTheHellHound to explore one of the most overlooked skills in dog training: teaching your dog how to slow down, switch off, and do absolutely nothing. We dig into how your dog's nervous system w

Today we have a special guest in the Dog Pod HQ studio!
