About this listen

Your dog has everything—food, toys, safety. But is that enough?

👉 Inspired by the book "Soul of a Dog" - find more training-inspiration here: https://a.co/d/dJjRcW9


In this powerful episode, I take you into a haunting story: a 1970s mouse experiment—and the chilling mirror it holds up to modern pet life. It’s not about neglect. It’s about the slow emotional collapse caused by overindulgence and lack of purpose.

What if your dog looks calm… but has already given up inside?We talk about Magnus, the Rottweiler who bit out of desperation—not rage. About “The Beautiful Ones,” perfect animals who vanished emotionally.

And about what dogs truly need to feel alive: structure, challenge, connection.This episode may be uncomfortable. But it’s one every dog lover needs to hear.


🎧 Listen now. It might save more than just your relationship with your dog.
