#231 Slow Walks, Strong Noses

Send us a message - we can't reply but we are listeningWhat if the long pause on your dog’s walk isn’t confusion, but craftsmanship—your senior pup carefully stitching light, shadow, and scent into a clear picture? We unpack how aging reshapes a dog’s senses and why those slower moments are signs of adaptation, not decline. From the bluish haze of nuclear sclerosis to the steady guidance of smell, you’ll hear how vision softens, hearing drifts, and the nose steps into the lead.Support the show🎙️ Have a topic you'd like us to cover?

#230 Don't Watch Me

Send us a message - we can't reply but we are listeningEver asked your dog to “watch me” and wondered why they still feel wound tight? We dig into the quiet truth most training clips skip: eye contact is a behavior, not a feeling, and pinning a stare rarely resets a stressed nervous system. Support the show🎙️ Have a topic you'd like us to cover?

#232 Polite Public Manners With The Under Cue

Send us a message - we can't reply but we are listeningEver wish your dog would tuck quietly under your legs at a café instead of sprawling in the walkway? We break down a simple, reliable “under” cue that turns public outings from stressful to smooth, giving your dog a clear job and you a calmer experience. You’ll hear exactly how to teach it at home, layer in a relaxed down, and merge both skills so one word cues a tidy tuck and a settled stay.Support the show🎙️ Have a topic you'd like us to cover?
