125 | Feeling Exhausted: Having a Dog Isn’t Supposed to Be This Much Work

Hey Dog Lover 🐾

You love your dog.
But if you're feeling frustrated, short-tempered, or just plain tired—this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth:
You were told to train more. Socialize more. Enrich more.
But what happens when you don’t have anything more to give?

If having a dog is starting to feel like a full-time job... how interesting.

In this episode, we explore why the relationship might feel heavier than it should:

  • Why constant cueing means you’re always leading the dance (and that’s exhausting)

  • How micromanaging your dog signals a lack of trust

  • Why bribery might feel like connection—but isn’t

  • And how over-correcting chips away at your dog’s confidence and your own

This isn’t about trying harder.
It’s about trying differently.

Let’s trade control for connection.
Let’s shift from obedience to leadership.
And let’s build a relationship that feels sustainable—for both of you.

Hope you enjoy this episode. Be sure to leave a rating, review, or a comment to let me know you're enjoying this.

NEXT STEPS 🐾👣

🐾 Build a relationship rooted in trust, not transactions
🐾 Let go of constant correcting and managing
🐾 Lead with calm, confident clarity—without burning out
