In this episode, you’ll learn why your dog’s behavior isn’t random—and how understanding their genetic instincts is the key to unlocking real progress.

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest mistakes dog owners make: treating all dogs like blank slates. From herders to hounds, guardians to terriers, your dog’s behavior is rooted in instinct—and when that instinct isn’t fulfilled, it shows up as reactivity, destruction, anxiety, and more.

This isn’t just a conversation about breeds—it’s about redefining what it means to train, live with, and truly understand your dog.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why trying to “fix” your dog’s behavior might be doing more harm than good
• How breed drives and genetic wiring influence your dog’s behavior
• Real stories of owners who misunderstood their dog’s instincts—and what happened next
• How to match your dog’s daily activities with their natural desires
• Why fulfillment comes before obedience—and how this one shift changes everything
• What Zara and Kairo (my own dogs) taught me about rushing vs. respecting the process
• How the environment shapes behavior just as much as genetics do

This episode is packed with real-life examples, expert insights, and practical strategies to help you stop fighting your dog—and start fulfilling them.
