Ever feel like your dog is ignoring you on purpose, or that everyone else has this training thing figured out? You’re not alone. In this first episode of our brand new series, Jo is joined by psychotherapist and LWDG Mindset Coach Emma Liddell to explore the Seven Lenses of Dog Behaviour.

Emma shares how understanding things like genetics, neurobiology, and even your dog’s hormones can change the way you see their behaviour, and help you feel a lot less like you’re failing.

We chat about:

• Why your dog’s “naughty” moments often have hidden causes
• How evolution and survival instincts shape what your dog does
• The role of dopamine (yes, really) in those moments when they suddenly go deaf
• Why looking at your dog through just one lens never tells the full story
• And how this understanding can bring more calm, confidence, and compassion into your training

If you’ve ever stood in a field, treats in hand, wondering why nothing’s working—this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen in, take a deep breath, and remember: it’s not just you.
