In this episode, Kim and Carla dive deep into the misunderstood world of dog-human communication. From calming signals to awkward greetings and the “don’t put your hand in their face!” rule, they explore how many of our interactions with dogs are lost in translation.

They draw insightful parallels between training dogs and young children, showing how consistent, kind communication can make all the difference — whether you’re teaching a toddler or a terrier.

Expect real-life stories, gentle rants, tips for reading your dog’s body language, and strategies for managing tricky training situations (including how to stay cool when things get tense in public). They also touch on the importance of teaching kids how to safely interact with dogs, with a special shoutout to Lily Chin’s fantastic book Doggy Language.

Whether you’re a dog guardian, parent, or just dog-curious, this episode will help you better understand the silent language our dogs use every day.
