Poppy's tail wags might look like simple gestures of happiness, but to me, they're a testament to our journey of redefining the word 'obedience' in pet training. With my background as a clinical animal behaviourist, I've learned that true harmony with our pets isn't found through demanding compliance—it's cultivated through respect and understanding.

In this episode, I peel back the layers of traditional dog training, revealing a fresh perspective that embraces our furry companions' unique quirks and natural behaviours. You'll discover why your dog's penchant for digging isn't naughty but a genuine need and how creating outlets like a digging spot can transform your yard into a peaceable kingdom for both of you.
