Visit us at shapedbydog.com    I’m sharing four case studies of dogs that overcame incredibly undesirable behaviors: a humper, a home wrecker, a screamer, and a dog-reactive dog. How did they go from out-of-control to completely calm? From emotional dysregulation to habituation, I’m showing you my strategy for turning behavior problems around. One of these dogs was rehomed because he was so dysregulated – spoiler alert – there’s a twist you won’t want to miss!   In the episode you'll hear:   • Four case studies of dogs with dysregulated behavior. • Why over-excited dog humping is not a dominance display. • How to give dogs a better way to express their emotions vs. humping. • About a Golden Doodle with severe separation anxiety. • That not all separation anxiety is a learned behavior. • How nutrition, exercise, enrichment and empowered choice influence dog behavior. • The wrong ways dog owners employ enrichment toys. • Examples of co-regulation in helping dogs cope emotionally. • About the FRIDA protocol for dog separation anxiety. • About a rehomed rescue dog that destroyed all the furniture. • My strategy for helping a hyper-reactive dog overcome fear. • That you are your dog’s number one advocate regardless of others’ labels.   Resources:   1.
