I Don't Like My Dog

When we get a dog, we generally expect to fall madly in love and experience this instant, one-of-a-kind connection with them.

But what happens when you and your dog just don’t mesh? How do you form a positive relationship with a dog who you - truthfully - just don’t like very much?

In today's episode, we tackle this semi-taboo topic to explore the reasons WHY you may find yourself disliking your current dog, and what you can do to build (or rebuild) a positive bond.

- Ayelet Berger CDBC, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of INSTINCT Nashville
