Holistic Dog Behavior

Have you ever wondered why your dog can walk past something one day with no problem… and then totally lose it the next? 🤔

You’re not alone—and no, your dog isn’t being unpredictable on purpose. In this episode of Holistic Dog Behavior The Podcast, we answer a listener’s thoughtful question:
“Why does my dog sometimes react, but not other times?”

We break it all down with:
🐾 Real-life examples (including my lasagna story!)
🐾 What trigger stacking is and how stress builds up
🐾 How context and situational triggers (like location or conditions) impact behavior
🐾 The 3 D’s (Distance, Duration, Distraction) and how they help explain “inconsistent” reactions
🐾 Why things like treat value, hunger, or stress levels affect your dog’s response

Whether you’re just starting to notice patterns or knee-deep in behavior work, this episode will help you connect the dots and feel more confident supporting your dog. 💛
