Summary

In our 20th episode, we’re busting the myth that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks - and showing you why adult dogs often learn faster. We dig into what’s really behind sudden behavior changes (hint: it’s usually life changes like a new baby, a new dog, a move, or even a loss). Along the way, we share real-life stories of dogs navigating big life transitions - and what their humans did to help them not just cope, but thrive. Learn how to build trust with a dog who, let’s be honest, has been studying you - and taking notes - since the day they came home.
