Somewhere in your house right now, there is a Doodle on the clock. Monitoring the window. Tracking the snacks. Escorting you to the bathroom. Nobody hired them, and that is exactly the problem.

In this episode, Corinne Gearhart of The Doodle Pro® explains why every Doodle assigns themselves a job, why the barking and the sock stealing are not misbehavior, and the one principle that changes everything: an unmet need does not disappear, it gets self-directed. You'll meet the self-appointed surveillance shift, the Sock Acquisition Specialist, and the accidental HR department every household is secretly running (kindly: that is not a criticism of you).

There are five job titles a Doodle can hold, and each one needs something completely different from you.
