Sedentary Dogs, Nervous Systems + Chronic Itching

172: What if your dog’s anxiety, itching, reactivity, or destructive behavior isn’t just behavioral… but a sign they’re not moving enough?

In this episode, I’m talking about the hidden effects of sedentary living on dogs and why movement is about so much more than exercise. From nervous system regulation and lymphatic flow to emotional health and behavior, I break down why modern indoor lifestyles may be disconnecting our dogs from what their bodies were designed to do.

Topics Discussed:
→ Why are dogs becoming sedentary?

→ Can lack of movement cause anxiety?

→ Why do dogs need sniff walks?

→ How does stress affect dogs?

→ What behaviors signal under stimulation?
