It's Time to Move Make a Change

A brief story of Jenny and some of the problems she faced.

Age: 35

Brief Description: Jenny is a single professional living in a city apartment, balancing work and personal life with her loyal companion, Max, a 2-year-old beagle.

The Core Problem: Despite the endless love she has for Max, Jenny struggles with his destructive behavior, lack of obedience, and constant barking, which is causing complaints from neighbors and straining her relationships with friends.

Top 5 Most Powerful Emotions Around That Problem:

  • Anxiety over potential eviction due to neighbors' complaints.
  • Guilt for not providing better training or environment for Max.
  • Frustration at Max's disobedience and seeming disregard for her commands.
  • Embarrassment when out with Max among other well-behaved dogs and owners.
  • Fear of having to give up Max if his behavior doesn't improve.

Top 5 Biggest Fears:

  • Being forced to choose between her beloved pet and her apartment.
  • Judgment from others about her ability to manage her life, including a pet.
  • Failing Max in terms of his well-being and training.
  • Losing friends due to Max’s disruptive behavior.
  • Fear that the situation will never improve, no matter what she tries.

5 Ways Those Fears Affect Key Relationships in Our Prospect’s Lives:

  • Neighborly Tension: Constant complaints create a hostile living environment.
  • Social Isolation: Invitations from friends become less frequent due to Max's unpredictability.
  • Family Pressure: Relatives question her decision-making and ability to care for a pet.
  • Dating Difficulties: Potential partners are put off by her chaotic home life.
  • Professional Stress: Unplanned time off work to handle Max’s incidents affects her job performance.

5 Conversational But Hurtful Things Those Relationships Might Say:

  • Neighbor: "If you can’t control your dog, maybe you shouldn't have one."
  • Friend: "We'd love to have you over, but could you maybe leave Max at home?"
  • Family Member: "We raised dogs just fine; I don’t see why it’s so hard for you."
  • Date: "I really like you, but I can't deal with a dog that's this out of control."
  • Boss: "Handling a pet shouldn't be this complicated. Can’t you sort this out?"

Other Solutions Tried:

  • Group obedience classes at the local park.
  • High-end, expensive prescription dog food that promised calmer behavior.
  • Hiring a dog walker to tire Max out with additional exercise.
  • Various gadgets and online tips for at-home training.
  • Consulting with a third-party animal behaviorist for one-off sessions.

Brief Conversational Soundbites About Failed Past Solutions:

  • "I've spent hundreds on classes and gadgets, but nothing's sticking with him."
  • "That behaviorist had great reviews, yet Max is just as wild as ever."
  • "I keep trying these online tricks, but it’s like he forgets them the next day!"

What Our Prospects Don’t Want to Do to Fix Their Problem:

  • Give up Max for adoption.
  • Move to a more pet-friendly but lower-quality apartment.
  • Spend thousands more on potential solutions with no guarantees.
  • Avoid social gatherings to prevent Max from causing issues.
  • Resign to the idea that Max’s behavior is unchangeable and isolate herself as a result.
