This week, Nathan is joined by clinical animal behaviourist Daniel Shaw of Animal Behaviour Kent to talk about one of the most misunderstood stages in your dog’s life: adolescence.
We explore:
🐶 What’s really going on in your teenage dog’s brain
⚠️ Why training may seem to fall apart — and why that’s normal
🥴 How to spot the difference between temporary wobbles and deeper behavioural challenges
💚 The importance of connection, co-regulation, and emotional safety
👣 How to support your dog (and yourself) through the ups and downs of adolescence
📍Whether your dog is barking more, listening less, or suddenly unsure of the world, this episode offers compassionate, science-based guidance — and a whole lot of reassurance.
