In this episode I chat with Andrew Hale, about the emotional experience of our rescue dogs and how we, as dog parents, can better support our furry friends to work through some of their emotional challenges.

Andrew explains why it is so important that we understand the underlying causes of our dogs’ behaviour rather than just trying to ‘fix’ the behaviours.

We also talk about how you can help your rescue dog to settle in the first few weeks of bringing it home and Andrew shares some of the dos and don'ts!

Andrew is a Certified Animal Behaviourist with more than 10 years’ experience working in animal behaviour. He follows a Dog Centred Care approach, working with empathy and compassion to try and understand why a dog is exhibiting the behaviours the dog owner might concerned about. 

You can find our more about Andrew via his website and his Facebook group Dog Centred Care.

As always I hope you enjoy this episode! If you have a rescue tail you’d like to share on the podcast, reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram on rescuetails.co
