Hey Dog Lover,š¾
This episode is one for the books. I got to sit down with my mentor and dear friend,Ā Nelson Hodges, for a conversation that honestly felt like cracking open theĀ soulĀ of our work with dogs.
We explored one foundational (and often misunderstood) question:
šĀ WhatĀ isĀ a dog?
ā¦and why gettingĀ thatĀ right changes everything else.
This isĀ part oneĀ of a two-part conversation, and believe me, youāll want to listen with a pen in hand and your curiosity dialled all the way up.
Because Nelson doesnāt just talkĀ aboutĀ dogs⦠he helps youĀ seeĀ them. Really see them.
In this episode, we dive into:
Dogs can smell your thoughts ( I know this one hit me hard!)
How a dogās survival instincts shape their behaviour ā and how our responses often miss the mark
What it actually means to āknowā a dog on their terms, not ours
And so much more!
Expect to be challenged. Expect to be inspired. And most of all⦠expect to say āHow interesting!ā more than once. š
Hope you enjoy!
