What if your dog’s behavior isn’t disobedience—but a misunderstood personality? In this eye-opening episode of the Courageous Canine Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Melanie Uhde, founder of Canine Decoded and a PhD-level scientist turned canine behavior expert. From her academic roots at Stanford and Columbia to the villages of Northern Thailand, Dr. Uhde shares how she uncovered the science behind reactivity, anxiety, and the five core personality traits in dogs.

You’ll learn:
 🐾 Why some dogs are naturally cautious or neurotic—and how that’s not a bad thing
 🐾 How to use science and empathy together for better training results
 🐾 Real-life stories of transformation with anxious and reactive dogs
 🐾 The truth about training “difficult” breeds like Shiba's, Border Collies, and wolf hybrids
 🐾 How to identify your dog’s unique personality—and why it matters more than the breed

Whether you’re a dog owner, trainer, or just a canine behavior nerd, this conversation will change how you see your dog forever. Listen now and start decoding what your dog has been trying to tell you all along.
