#31 Getting inconsistent results? What you need to know about trauma in your dog

Episode summary

In this episode, Susan dives into how trauma, whether visible or hidden, can deeply impact your dog’s behavior and training progress. She explains how trauma affects the nervous system, why some dogs seem to regress, and how calm leadership (not comfort) helps them move forward. If your dog struggles with reactivity, fear, or unpredictable behavior, this is a must-listen.
