Living with a young dog, or a dog with behaviour challenges takes a lot of physical and mental energy.

Whether it’s analysing your dogs behaviour, and your own reactions to it, or constantly making decisions about where to walk them, what to do on that walk, what to feed them, how to feed them, etc etc. And that’s before we’ve even started training!

Then if we add in juggling work, meeting your own needs, and maybe also meeting the needs of everyone else in the household too, you’re probably not left with much time to just enjoy hanging out with your dog.

If this is you, you're not alone! This is something clients tell us they’re struggling with all the time. And this is exactly what we’ll be discussing at our next [Spicy Social on Tuesday 9th June.](https://bookwhen.com/focusdogtrainingleeds/e/ev-s7okl-20260609180000)

Our panelists will be talking about balancing meeting your dogs’ needs with the unique needs of your family and your household.

They’ll be drawing on a whole host of experience, from rehoming dogs with complex needs, balancing work and family life with living with spicy dogs, to making accommodations for humans with complex needs and so much more.
