Are we really in control - or just afraid of what happens if we’re not?
In this powerful episode of Rewriting the Rules, Bethany Bell explores our deep-rooted fear of letting go of control when living and working with dogs.
Modern dog culture often tells us that structure, rules, and constant supervision equal safety and success.
But what if those same habits are quietly exhausting us - and disconnecting us from the very dogs we love?
Bethany unpacks why so many of us struggle to relax, how micromanagement limits both dogs’ autonomy and our own peace of mind, and how to build the courage to trust, observe, and guide instead of control.
✨ You’ll learn:
Why control feels safe but slowly erodes connection
The difference between healthy boundaries and micromanagement
How to recognise when fear - not love - is driving your decisions
Practical ways to begin trusting your dog and yourself again
This isn’t about losing structure. It’s about finding balance - a way of living with dogs that feels calmer, freer, and more real for everyone involved.
🎧 Listen now and start rewriting the rules - not through control, but through connection.
