What if we stopped looking at our dogs as a collection of parts — and started looking at them as living systems?What if the symptom we're looking at isn't the whole story?What if health isn't simply about identifying the broken part and fixing it, but about understanding the complex web of communication, feedback, environment and relationship happening within the whole organism?In this episode of the Mystic Dog Mama podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Tom Lonsdale for our third conversation

After studying law, he began hand-making insect-based dog treats with his mum in the family kitchen. What started as a one-year experiment eventually took him to Dragons’ Den and helped build one of the UK’s best-known insect-based dog food brands.But this episode goes much

What happens when a beloved pet is dying—and you discover that some of the choices you thought were simply “what happens next” may not be your only choices at all?For Dr. Alice Kay Lovelace, D.Min., that discovery didn't happen all at once. It grew out of a lifetime of loving animals, losing them, asking spiritual questions, learning from the animals who shared her life, and gradually finding a different way to understand dying, death, grief, and the relationship that remains. In this first of

Is your dog challenging you on purpose or is there a reason they only listen to one person in the house? Tara and Laura debunk why many dogs in multi-owner households may see that their dog listens more or walks better for one owner and not the other. They also explain how owners can make this worse and how you can help your dog and possibly even your partner.Sponsored by K9 WorkingmindThis episode was edited and mastered by The WillaWoman.

What do you do with a dog that seems completely untrainable? You give a command and get nothing. You offer treats, and the dog does not care. Toys do not work. Praise does not work. Eventually, you start wondering whether the dog simply cannot be trained. In this episode of Dog Works Radio, Nicole Forto challenges that assumption. Some dogs are confused or distracted. Others have learned that if they ignore their owner long enough, the owner eventually gives up. And then there are genuinely

The episode aims to break down and discuss the four main types of intermittent reinforcement schedules.  Sue explains and gives examples of Fixed Ratio (FR), Fixed Interval (FI), Variable Ratio (VR), and Variable Interval (VI) Schedules.  To end

Your dog is flat out at home for about ten minutes a day. The rest of the time they're on your heels, bringing you a toy or sighing at the back door, and the minute you take them somewhere new they behave like they've never left the house. LWDG Group Expert Claire Denyer and I get into the art of doing nothing, and why the dog who can switch off at home is the dog who switches on for you when the lead comes out. You'll hear why an obedience stay at the pub isn't the same as a settle, the mistake

You gave your dog the walk, the fetch, the training, and somehow you're the only one ready to collapse.When a full day of trying to meet your dog's needs leaves you with even more chaos, it's easy to assume you still haven't done enough.

Why does your dog completely forget you exist the second they spot a pigeon, squirrel, rabbit or another dog?In this episode, we’re getting properly into the behavioural science behind motivation, dopamine, reinforcement, anticipation and reward prediction, and looking at why certain environmental triggers can become so compelling for dogs. We’ll explore why dopamine is about far more than simply pleasure, how behavioural sequences like chasing and searching can be inherently reinforcing, why your
