Could your Doodle be happier? 🐾 In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Zazie Todd, PhD, author of Wag: The Science of Making Your Dog Happy and founder of Companion Animal Psychology. Together we unpack the research on what truly makes dogs thrive.

📖 This conversation is extra special because Wag was the official Zoomies to Zen™ Book Club pick inside The Doodle Pro® Academy. Our community loved it, and Dr. Todd joined us live to answer members’ burning questions. Now you get to listen in, too.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ The #1 mistake well-meaning dog parents make when trying to make their pup happy
✔️ Why positive reinforcement is the key to training success (and what science says about punishment)
✔️ How to tell if your dog is genuinely happy—and what to do if they’re not
✔️ The critical puppy socialization window most people miss (and how to do it right!)
✔️ Why adolescence is a challenging (but normal) phase in your Doodle’s development

🐶 Want a sneak peek? We discuss why dogs NEED rewards (yes, even food rewards!), how to fade them out thoughtfully, and which treats science shows dogs will run fastest to earn.
