Hey, dog lover! 🐾

You love your dog—probably more than most people, right? So why does it still feel like your dog isn’t listening? Why do they ignore your call, run the other way, or tune you out when it really matters?

In this episode, we’re busting the big myth that love = relevance. (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.) We’ll explore why your love does matter deeply—but why it isn’t the currency your dog uses to decide who to follow, trust, or prioritize.

We’ll talk about how dogs view the world through a survival-based lens, why emotional closeness doesn’t automatically equal relationship strength, and how to become more relevant in your dog’s life through shared experiences, not just snuggles.

This is one of those episodes that can totally shift how you see your dog’s behaviour—and help you stop taking it so personally.

Hope you enjoy this one,
Tracy

Hey, Dog Lover! 🐾

Ever find yourself wondering how much time your dog really needs from you each day? Is it about hours spent playing fetch—or is there something deeper that actually fills their cup?

In this episode, we dive into a voice message from a listener (hi, Rachel!) who asks a question every dog lover has wrestled with: What’s a fair amount of time to spend with your dog? The answer? It’s not about time—it’s about quality, fulfillment, leadership, and rhythm.

We explore what true dog fulfillment looks like (hint: it’s not just tiring them out), how to avoid being accidentally manipulated by your clever pup, and how to build a life where your dog understands the natural rhythms of the day. You’ll also get a crash course in my Leadership Scorecard and how it helps you become someone your dog truly trusts and chooses to follow—without needing a treat pouch in your pocket.

Whether you’ve got a couch potato or a squirrel-chasing explorer, this episode will help you feel confident in how you're showing up for your dog.

Hope you enjoy this one,
Tracy
