In this episode, we’re talking about … choices! Giving our dogs choices is extremely important for their wellbeing. Our beloved dogs rely on us for food, shelter and comfort. And many of them even for such basic needs as going to the toilet! In this episode we discuss how this affects their wellbeing and behaviour, and what you can do to give your dog a more fulfilling life filled with more choices and agency.

In this episode, we continue talking about wellbeing in dog training - both emotional and physical. When training and living with dogs, we often focus on what we need to teach them. We discuss training methods, argue whether we should be using this or that equipment… all while focusing on the “what”. But we often forget to ask ourselves the very important question of WHY - why do we want to teach dogs what we teach them? Are they comfortable with training? Are the exercises we expect them to do physically and mentally safe, healthy and comfortable for them? We try to answer some of these questions in this episode.

Behaviour issues very often arise as a consequence of the dog’s needs not being met appropriately. But what does that mean exactly? What needs to dogs have that we may inadvertently not be meeting? In this episode, we discuss dogs’ needs - as a species, as a breed and as an individual.
