Andrew Hale joins me today for an insightful conversation about the emotional lives and wellbeing of our dogs. Andrew is a Certified Animal Behaviourist and dog trainer who follows a Dog Centred Care approach that focuses on empathy and compassion, and curiosity to better understand why a dog is exhibiting a particular behaviour. Andrew is a behaviour consultant for a number of organisations, including Pet Remedy, Canine Arthritis Management, British Isles Grooming Association, and Animals in Distress.

In today’s episode, Andrew shares why we need more C.A.K.E. in our lives with our dogs and with others! No, it’s not a delicious dessert, but you’ll definitely love it!

We talk about a variety of topics related to thinking about how to create emotional safety for our beloved pups, including:

Andrew shares a personal story about childhood sexual trauma, so just a heads up if this is triggering for you.

This is another one of those super important conversations that those of us who are committed to nourishing our dogs mind, body, and soul need to be having. I know you are going to love it!
