Dog Arousal, Touch Correction, Boarding Cruelty and Puppy Instincts
Sunny led an open Q&A covering how to read arousal and tension in dogs, why touch correction should only ever be a last resort, and why board-and-train fixes symptoms while true behaviour work fixes root causes in the home. A large part of the call exposed how common physical abuse is inside boarding and training facilities and how to vet a caretaker in the absence of 24/7 video feeds. The group also discussed pack versus paternal instinct when puppies are born, mating and pack psychology across wolves, lions and dogs, and closed with a detailed look at newborn puppy development, instinct, the prefrontal cortex, and why certain breeds have cropped ears or docked tails.
