Dogs who meet soldiers and become lifelines for one another in the middle of chaos. In this episode of The Future of Dogs, Hannah is joined by Pen...

Ep 30: The Future of Dog Education Part 1 - The Dial Method with Justine Schuurmans & Kim Brophey They say “it’s not the dog that has the problem, it’s the owner.” One of those familiar tag-line phrases that sounds wise on the surface, but actually flattens what is, in reality, a deeply complex, individual relationship between a person and their dog.

Its a shocking fact that 80% of dogs over the age of 8 have arthritis. And 67% of dogs are overweight! Many dogs live their lives with untreated and undiagnosed pain conditions that most owners can’t spot and vets are poor at recognising in practice. Pain conditions naturally cause serious distress to our dogs and can also cause aggression and behavioural problems too. So how can we recognise signs of dogs in pain and what can we do to prevent injury throughout the dogs life and treat p...
