#29 The Overwhelming Pressure to be a Successful Dog Guardian - with Marissa Martino

Do you feel the pressure to be a good dog guardian?

Sometimes society, culture and even our community put so much pressure on us as dog guardians that it often becomes an overwhelming experience.

In this week's episode of The Dogs Of Our Lives podcast, I chat with Marissa Martino, a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, human coach and founder of Paws and Reward https://pawsandreward.com/

We talk about the importance of regulating our own emotions so we can better adapt and cope with our dogs (sometimes) challenging behaviors.

We look at why animal shelters are struggling and what you can do to help (especially if you've ever thought about adopting a dog)

Marissa also shares her own vulnerable experiences of dog guardianship and how her dogs have taught her so much throughout her life.

This is a juicy episode, so sit back and relax with a cup of your favourite drink and enjoy the conversation!
