Ep 94 How to Protect Your Dog from Incoming Dogs

Every dog owner knows the sinking feeling when another dog comes charging over, uninvited and unstoppable. It’s stressful, emotional, and it can quickly turn what should be a lovely walk into chaos. In this episode, we dive into the real-life challenges of incoming dogs and the surprising role we, as owners, may be playing in those moments. You’ll hear about what’s within your control (and what isn’t), and how small changes can completely shift your dog’s experience. We’ll also explore environments, movement and subtle signals that could be attracting unwanted attention. If you’ve ever wondered how to protect your dog without feeling powerless or frustrated, listen in to discover how to take back control of your walks.
