Your Dog Keeps Ignoring 'NO' — Here's Why

Описание: NO ISN’T WORKING — What Your Dog’s Behaviour Is Really Telling You

How many times have you said "NO" to your dog today?

During busy times — especially holidays — many dogs hear “no” more than anything else. But behaviour doesn’t come from nowhere. When “no” isn’t working, it’s often because behaviour is **communication**, not defiance.

In this episode of A Dog’s View, we look at behaviour through the lens of Total Welfare and the LEGS model ®(Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self) to explain why unwanted behaviours often appear when a dog’s needs are not being met.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why behaviour is often a signal of unmet needs
How constant “no” can increase frustration and confusion
How Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self shape behaviour
Why enrichment is essential for emotional regulation and mental wellbeing
How natural, species-appropriate behaviours (like sniffing, foraging, problem-solving, and play) support Total Welfare
Simple ways to shift from “no” to clear, supportive guidance

Dogs need more than obedience — they need opportunities to think, explore, move, and be dogs. When we meet those needs, behaviour changes naturally.
