Description

Sarah Hodgson shares a story we can all relate to, a well-meaning dog parent struggling with nonstop whining and a pup that “just doesn’t get it.” But it’s not that the dog didn’t understand it’s that the human wasn’t listening in the right way.

From the overlooked moments of quiet communication to the Five Key Talking Points of every dog. Sarah unpacks how dogs use posture, stillness, and subtle cues far more than sound to express their needs. You'll learn how to tune in, respond without reinforcing unwanted behavior, and communicate in a way your dog truly understands.

If you’ve ever felt confused or frustrated by your dog’s whining, this episode will help you shift your perspective and your connection, for good.
