- August 29, 2021
In season 2 episode 8 of Dog: Impossible, titled "Split Pawsonality," viewers are introduced to a young pup named Max who is having some behavioral issues. Max's owners are at the end of their rope and are considering giving him up for adoption. Enter Matt Beisner, a top dog behaviorist, who will do everything he can to help Max and his family.
Max’s behavior is incredibly erratic and unpredictable. Sometimes he is full of energy and playful, while other times he is aggressive and confrontational. His owners have tried everything they can think of to fix the problem, but nothing seems to be working. They know they need help, and that’s where Beisner comes in.
Beisner is an expert in reading and interpreting dog behavior. He spends time with Max and his family to get a sense of what might be causing the issues. He quickly realizes that Max has a type of dissociative disorder, which causes him to switch between two distinct personalities. There is no way to predict when the switch will happen or what triggers it.
Beisner takes on the challenge of helping Max overcome his dissociative disorder and finding a way for him to live a healthy and happy life with his family. The road ahead is going to be long and difficult, but Beisner is confident that he can help Max and his family.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see Beisner working with Max and his family to try different strategies to deal with the dissociative disorder. They try a variety of different techniques, including training exercises and behavioral therapy. Beisner also spends time educating Max's family about what they can do to help him outside of their training sessions.
As the episode progresses, viewers see Max slowly start to show signs of improvement. While the switch between personalities still happens, the frequency and severity start to decrease. Max's owners start to feel more confident in their ability to manage his behavior and keep him safe.
The episode ends with Beisner checking in on Max and his family a few months after their training sessions have ended. Max is doing much better, and his family is thrilled with the progress he has made. Beisner is proud of what they have accomplished and is happy to see that Max is living a happy life with his loving family.
Overall, "Split Pawsonality" is a heartwarming episode of Dog: Impossible that showcases Beisner's talent for reading and understanding dog behavior. Viewers will be rooting for Max and his family throughout the episode and will be happy to see the progress they make. The episode is a reminder that with the right tools and guidance, even the most difficult behavioral issues can be overcome.
