Enlightened By Dogs: Living with Cooperation, Not Obedience


May 4, 2020

Do you want to build a stronger connection with your dog?

Dogs and humans have lived side by side for centuries. However, “human” isn’t a dog’s first language. They’re much better at speaking “dog” and using body language to communicate with us.

So, how can you learn to effectively communicate with your dog?

On this episode of Enlightened By Dogs, Kathy talks about the language of partnership, which is the most effective way to build a deeper connection with your dog. She also reveals the single most powerful tool to live successfully (and drama-free) with your dogs. So, if you’re ready to dig deeper into communicating with your dog, this is the life-saver episode you’ve been waiting for!

In this episode:

  • Why effective communication with our dogs is so important
  • Why miscommunication happens and how to resolve it
  • How to meet your dog in the circle of understanding and cooperation
  • The importance of paying attention to your dog’s feelings and understanding the intention behind their behavior

Quotes:
