À propos de cet audio

What if the subtle decisions we make with dogs - the tone of voice, the tug on the leash, the patience or impatience we show - are quietly shaping who we become?

This show is about dogs, but it’s also about you: who you are, what you value, and how you live with those around you.

The way we treat our dogs exposes our deepest assumptions about the world. It reveals the ideas we carry about power and control, autonomy and liberation.

Every time we ask our dogs for obedience, we’re expressing beliefs about relationships, authority, and what it means to care for another being.

But what if we questioned those beliefs?

This podcast invites you to imagine a different way forward, where training is about connection instead of control, and understanding instead of obedience.

The way we interact with our dogs is inseparable from how we relate to our communities, our culture, and the wider systems we inhabit - and shifting one relationship can transform them all.

Because dog training is never just about dogs.
