Each episode unpacks real-life stories from the field to reveal the mindset behind common challenges like reactivity, disobedience, or sudden aggression — and offers insight into the relationship dynamics that drive them. You won’t find one-size-fits-all training tips here. Instead, you’ll hear from compassionate, often humorous experts who help you build clarity, confidence, and connection with your dog by shifting how you show up. Whether your pup pulls the sheets off the bed or pins other dogs at the park, you’re in good company — and you’re not alone.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dog-days-7345375"},"episode":{"title":"Love the Dog You Have: Instinct, Learned Behavior, and Working With Both","slug":"love-the-dog-you-have-instinct-learned-behavior-and-working-with-both","published_at":"2026-05-20T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dog-days-7345375/love-the-dog-you-have-instinct-learned-behavior-and-working-with-both","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dog-days-7345375","url":"https://dog-days.simplecast.com/episodes/love-the-dog-you-have-instinct-learned-behavior-and-working-with-both-G1YNDsIk","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/9673a44c-b812-4c28-8ec2-716d34a8a247/a8de922e-ebe1-4efa-9874-09bcf85f8e4f/episodes/audio/group/94c6a100-921c-48bc-b621-77501f0758e6/group-item/9345f7a7-7cb6-41ef-b7e9-d82abde1293d/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=KwcXvRbx","summary":"Why does your dog sprint to the back door the moment you put on your shoes? Hint: they didn't read the manual — they wrote it themselves. Your dog has been studying you a lot longer than you've been studying them, and they're very, very good at it. In this episode, we dig into the difference between hard-wired instinctual behaviors (the ones your dog can't help) and learned behaviors (the ones someone taught them — and that someone is often your dog). We'll talk about how to manage the instincts that never fully go away, how to untrain the habits that are driving you nuts, and — here's the good news — how the best training actually works with your dog's natural instincts, turning what they're already wired to do into behavior that works for everyone.","meta_description":"Why does your dog sprint to the back door the moment you put on your shoes?
