In this episode of “Enlightened by Dogs,” Kathy takes us on a journey into the captivating world of dog communication and behavior by listening to whispers.
Together, we’ll learn how understanding these subtle cues can significantly enhance the bond between you, the loving dog mom, and your canine companion. Discover the importance of recognizing your dog’s “whispers” before they escalate into “shouts,” and join Kathy as she shares three empowering tips to help you better understand your dog’s behavior.
By the end of the episode, you’ll be better equipped to nurture trust, encourage calmness, and create a safe and happy space for your beloved dog, truly becoming their best friend.
Key Takeaways:
- ‘Bad behavior’ is often a cry for help: Dogs communicate their feelings through actions, and when they feel unheard or misunderstood, their behavior may escalate to get your attention.
- Pay attention to the signs: Recognizing your dog’s subtle cues or “whispers” is crucial for understanding their emotions and building trust.
- Listen to your dog’s whispers: Trust your dog when they show signs of unease or discomfort, and consciously make choices to create positive experiences that foster confidence and trust.
Memorable Quotes:
“When trust runs deep, you and your dog can handle any experience together.”
“Remember this: your dog is not giving you an intentional hard time. They are having a hard time and need your help with a difficult situation.”
“All good relationships are based on trust.
