Welcome to unPACKed, an open-minded podcast taking a clinical, *not political*, approach to help pet parents around the world. Join Sailor Jerri and Mattison, certified trainers and canine behavior experts with a combined 3 decades of experience in behavioral dog training.
In our first LIVE unPACKing of 2025, we're talking with Grace about her rescue dog Stella.
Stella came to Grace from a neglectful situation where she was crated with two other dogs. And although Stella has clear discomfort with the kennel, the most impactful behavior in Grace's life is Stella's intense stranger danger (both at people out in the world as well as her partner within the home). We're digging in to strategies to help her teach new behavior patterns to Stella so the cycle doesn't continue to feed into and reinforce itself.
Come back next month for another new case and LIVE unpacking, and later this year we'll check back in with Grace and Stella to get an update on their training journey.
