That moment when your “golden retriever” doesn’t act like a golden retriever?
When the training you were told would work… doesn’t?
When you start to wonder if you’ve just got a “problem dog”?
You’re not alone.

In this live session, we unpacked what really shapes your dog’s behaviour — and why breed alone will never explain what’s actually going on.

We introduced 3 of the social characters we see time and time again in dogs — and the profound emotional needs that come with each.

You’ll see why:

• Some dogs crumble under pressure while others seem to breeze through it

• What looks like stubbornness is often a safety strategy

• Training can backfire — not because you did it wrong, but because it wasn’t what your dog needed

We also shared real stories from clients who were convinced they had a “freak dog”…
Until they learned this.

“It was just really nice to know that he has a type… otherwise I just thought he was a freak.”

If you’ve ever felt like your dog just doesn’t make sense — or that you’re constantly second-guessing your instincts — this is for you.
