Episode 30: Canine Caregivers - Do dogs need a job?

Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers joins me again for another Canine Caregivers episode.

In this episode we discuss "Do Dogs Need a Job?".

This is something that a lot of people and professionals push! They'll blame unwanted behaviours on the dog not having a job, they'll blame hyperarousal on not having a job. But what does giving them a job even mean? Is it the cure to unwanted behaviours?

So many of our dogs were bred for working purposes but aren't living these lives any more in this modern world, so what does giving them a job look like to the average pet guardian? Is it even relevant to our dogs?

Tune into the episode to learn more.
