162 | Holiday Hangover is Real: Why Your Dog is Biting or Melting Down

Hey Dog Lover! 🐾

So your dog was “fine” during the day… until they weren’t. The guests are gone, the cookies are stale, and suddenly your pup is pacing, snapping, or flat-out melting down. What gives?

In this episode, we unpack the Holiday Hangover — that post-festivity fallout where stacked stress finally spills over. You’ll hear:

• The signs your dog is approaching their limit 😬

• Why “he’s been fine” might be false reassurance

• Simple shifts to support recovery — like crate time, quiet time, and rhythm resets

Let’s ditch the guilt and get curious. Because understanding how stress accumulates helps us prevent those post-holiday “behaviour surprises.”
I hope you enjoy this one.
