In this episode, we break down the difference between true behavior change and simple behavior suppression. Learn why shutting down a dog’s reactions might look like progress—but often hides emotional distress, confusion, or fear. We’ll talk about the long-term fallout of using suppression-based training and what to do instead if you want a dog who feels safe, confident, and connected.
