In this episode about dogs, we non-directly cover common challenges that humans face: lack of confidence, attitudes towards stress, how to use (and when not to use) rewards, anxiety, consistency, behavioural change, trust, trauma, the need for clarity, non-verbal communication, relationships, self-discovery, happiness, the important of setting boundaries … and many more! We even discuss… cats!

Can you teach an old dog new tricks?

Absolutely.

Welcome our next guest, the award-winning dog behavioural specialist Flurina Stocker. Our conversation is a refreshing take on behaviour change, confidence, reward, and personality.

Turns out, most of the principles can be successfully applied to changing our own behaviour - regardless of our past, our beliefs, our thoughts, traumas or emotions.

See how many “that’s just like humans” you can count.

If you have a pet, spouse, child, sibling, manager, coworker, or friend – there’s a tip or two for you in this episode.

Thank you, Flurina, for sharing your philosophy and practice!
