Beyond the Bark: Understanding the Root Causes of Dog Behaviour

In this episode, Kim and Carla dive deep into the why behind common dog behaviour challenges. From barking and loose lead walking to displacement behaviours and anxiety, they explore how symptoms often mask deeper issues like stress, discomfort, or environmental overwhelm. With a compassionate and practical approach, they share tools such as behaviour diaries, colour-coded tracking, and real-time journaling to help owners and professionals identify patterns and make meaningful progress. Whether it’s car travel stress or awkward dog-to-dog greetings, this episode helps listeners shift from surface-level solutions to root-cause thinking — because true behaviour change starts with understanding.

Perfect for dog owners, trainers, and behaviour professionals who want to build emotionally resilient dogs.
