Why do many dogs need INCREASINGLY valuable rewards to listen?

"Your level of motivation and drive depends on how much dopamine you have relative to your recent experience. This is why when you repeatedly engage in something you enjoy, your threshold for enjoyment goes up and up and up." - Dr. Andrew Huberman (link to his video "Controlling Your Dopamine for Motivation, Focus & Satisfaction" in description, quote at 4:20)

This is why, instead of focusing on rewards or punishers, we teach pet guardians how to connect with their pet the way our social brains intended, through emotional connection, empathy, touch, natural play, and honoring their communication and boundaries... all while helping you gently and respectfully communicate your needs and boundaries, too.

By doing so, we help you and your dog build resilience, feel emotionally safe, and learn healthy, social ways to regulate your emotions together, resulting in better behavior and a healthier, happier relationship.

This is TONIGHT and it's free! I hope you come join us !

Would you like to learn more about pets - from choosing a pet to caring for a pet to solving behavior problems? I'd love to see you at this free presentation at the Clearfield Library on Tuesday, Sept 9th in partnership with Megan Smock with Happy Hearts Pet Care LLC.

Are you interested in a new approach to pet behavior? My services emphasize emotions and well-being rather than consequences - more like a mental health/responsive parenting approach where emotions are investigated and co-regulation and social support are key. Please feel free to reach out, I would love to connect!

Do we believe our dogs when they tell us about their experiences? Or do we dismiss, minimize, distract, or correct?
