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

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.
