The Myth of the Stubborn Dog Part I Episode 4
The real reason why your dog isn't listening to you. A dog that is coming off as stubborn is actually a dog that is either unmotivated or has no idea what is being asked.
So how do we get our dogs to listen to us without it being a “power struggle?”
What are ways to motivate your dog?

The Wag Out Loud pawdcast is supported by listeners like you! I started the show as a passion project that would help all of us make well-informed decisions for our dogs’ health and well-being. After many amazing guests, intriguing topics and incredible feedback, I realized the WOL pawdcast is exactly what I wanted to do. I am mission-driven and work hard to produce the best possible show I can, and I trust that if you find value in my work and have the means, you will choose to contribute. It would not be possible to consistently produce a quality show without the listener support that I receive. Thanks to all of the dog lovers out there!
