The Goodall Effect: Seeing Your Dog Through the Ethologist’s Eye


Listen Later

This week, I want to take a look at one of the most iconic animal behaviourists of all time - Jane Goodall - and how her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees can transform the way we understand and train our dogs.

I’ve lovingly labelled it ‘The Goodall Effect’… how seeing your dog through the ethologist’s eye can help you connect more deeply, observe more effectively, and transform behaviours with empathy, curiosity, and science-backed strategies. 

From understanding your dog’s body language to fostering engagement and emotional regulation, this episode is packed with practical insights to elevate your relationship with your canine companion.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How Jane Goodall’s observational methods can be applied to understanding your dog’s behaviour
  • Why curiosity and empathy are more powerful than control in dog training
  • Practical exercises to develop your ‘ethologist’s eye’ and notice subtle cues in your dog
  • How emotional regulation and trust build the foundation for lasting behaviour change
  • Strategies for engagement that strengthen your bond and make training joyful
  • How to anticipate reactive behaviours before they escalate
  • The science behind observation, mirror neurons, and empathy in dogs and humans
  • 💻 Want to dive deeper into transforming your dog’s behaviour with science-backed strategies that actually work? Check out my digital training products, freebies and online courses at www.listendogtraining.com
