Beskrivelse
What if teaching tricks wasn’t just fun… but actually the key to a calmer dog? In this episode, Em talks with Krista from Heeler Point about life with high-energy, high-drive dogs and how trick training became more than cute party tricks — it became mental enrichment, confidence building, and a safe outlet for big feelings. From reactivity and vet visits to skateboards, basketball hoops, and 30-treat stacks, they break down how learning keeps dogs regulated and connected. If you’ve ever felt like walks and exercise still aren’t enough, this conversation will change the way you think about training.
