“It depends.” 

That’s often the last thing that frustrated dog guardians want to hear in their search for answers. And as much as we want to give them the black-and-white responses they’re after, we often can’t. Because it really does depend. 

In this podcast episode, special guest Ally Verba of Training with Ally and I discuss how to account for the individual dog’s environment, learning history, experiences, health and so much more. 

In this episode of the Believe in Your Dog Podcast, you will learn:  

  • What we mean when we say that each dog is a study of one
  • How this principle comes into play with home alone training specifically
  • Some common examples of questions that we answer with the “it depends” response and why
  • How you can start to find the answers to these nuanced questions on your own
  • Why cookie cutter training plans often fail
  • How to be discerning when consuming information on social media about home alone training
  • And so much more!
