Ep260 - Off-leash dogs, shiny coats, & couch privileges [Q&A]

In this episode, Panos answers some of your most common and practical dog training questions: "What should I do if an off-leash dog approaches us on a walk?" We’ll cover how to advocate for your dog, maintain safe space, tools to have on hand like a spare leash, the importance of situational awareness, and even what to do if things escalate into a bite. "How do you keep your dog healthy and shiny like Chilli?" We’ll talk about the role of diet quality, supplements such as Canineceuticals, regular exercise, and grooming routines that keep dogs looking and feeling their best. "Is it okay to let my dog sleep on the couch?" It comes down to your choice, but I’ll break down factors like teaching “on/off” commands, respecting household rules, hygiene considerations, and whether your dog’s behaviour is under control.
