She explains how decades of working with street dogs, trauma survivors from fighting circuits, and rescued dogs from extreme exploitation shaped herunderstanding that behaviour is rarely about control—it is about cognition, emotion, and lived experience.We explore:Billie speaks openly about resistance she has facedwhen challenging outdated narratives. She reflects on how building an accredited educational institute was not about status—but about accountability.About ensuring that those working with dogs are trained in frameworks grounded in science, not opinion.The conversation moves into something even deeper:responsibility.If dogs mirror stress, confusion, and emotionaldysregulation, what does that reveal about us?This episode will resonate if you:You will walk away with a reframed lens:Behaviour is communication.Trauma leaves cognitive imprints.Education is activism.Billie’s message is not sentimental—it isstructured.Her work proves that science and empathy are not opposites. They are allies.When canine welfare integrates psychology, somethingshifts globally.And perhaps most powerfully, this finale reminds usthat reform does not happen by accident. It happens when someone refuses to accept “this is how it’s always been done.”🎧 Listen to Season 3, Episode 3 (Finale) now.📢 Share this episode with trainers, veterinarians, psychologists, and serious guardians. 💬 Ask yourself: Are we correcting dogs—or are we understanding them?Because hope for animals cannot remain emotional.It must become educated.It must become accountable.It must become systemic.Guest Bio (Short)Billie (Talyn) Groom, PhD(c)is a TEDx speaker, canine psychotherapist, and founder of the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy, the only accredited institute offering certifications in Canine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CCBT).
