In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of children and dogs, exploring the challenges and misconceptions that often arise when these two intersect.

Joining us as a special guest is Jill, a Mirror Image K9 trainer, with a wealth of experience in understanding the unique dynamics between children and dogs. We explore the essential differences in communication and behavior between these two species, shedding light on the potential pitfalls and how to navigate them. We discuss the common signs of affection from children - hugging, kissing, dress-up - that can unintentionally make dogs feel uneasy. Additionally, we tackle topics such as high-pitched voices, quick movements, and how they can impact a dog's sense of safety.


Through insightful discussion, we aim to bridge the understanding gap and equip listeners with the knowledge to create positive interactions between children and dogs. By learning to recognize dogs' communication signals and understanding their perspective, we can prevent potential incidents and foster happy companionship.


Whether you're a parent hoping to create a safe and loving bond between your children and furry friends or a pet parent seeking to facilitate positive relationships with visiting or public-interacting children, this episode will provide valuable insights and practical tips.

Tune in to "Think Like a Dog" and join us on this important journey of understanding, empathy, and fostering harmonious connections between children and dogs.

Note: This podcast episode aims to provide general guidance and insights into the topic discussed. For specific concerns or considerations, we advise consulting a qualified dog trainer or behavior specialist.
