In this episode, Jo Perrott, Founder of the Ladies Working Dog Group, discusses the challenges dog owners face in maintaining boundaries for their pets within a busy home.
Jo explores the reasons why these boundaries often collapse and offers insights on how to reinforce them effectively. She emphasises the importance of consistent rules and the impact of different family members' behaviors on a dog's understanding of boundaries.
