In this episode, Nikki and Gray discuss the importance of ensuring your dog gets quality rest regardless of their age. Just like humans, if your dog doesn't get enough downtime, without the distractions of a busy home, behavior issues will occur. Excessive barking, reactivity, and chewing are just a few of the symptoms you may see. Listen now to learn how to help your dog regulate emotions through restful sleep.

In this episode, Amanda is back to ask Nikki about how she has changed over the years in terms of dog training. As a trainer, it's important that you continue to educate yourself and stay up to date on new scientific research. Dog training has come a long way in the past decade and it's important that our listeners know what to look for when searching for their own dog trainer.
