Manage episode 465128495 series 3372244
Could your doodle be happier? 🐾 Dr. Zazie Todd, PhD, author of Wag: The Science of Making Your Dog Happy, joins me to unpack the science behind what makes our dogs truly thrive.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ The #1 mistake well-meaning dog parents make when trying to make their pup happy
✔️ Why positive reinforcement is key to training success (and what science says about punishment-based methods)
✔️ How to tell if your dog is genuinely happy—and what to do if they’re not
✔️ The critical puppy socialization window most people miss (and how to do it right!)
✔️ Why adolescence is a challenging (but normal!) phase in your doodle’s development
📖 This episode is extra special because Wag was the The Doodle Pro® Academy's Book Club pick for Zoomies to Zen™! Our community loved this book so much, and I’m thrilled Dr. Todd joined us to answer our members’ burning questions.
🐶 Want a sneak peek? We discuss why dogs NEED rewards (yes, even food rewards!) and what science says about fading them out. Plus, Dr. Todd shares a surprising study about what treats dogs will run fastest for!
