This week, Kim and Neri answer a listener question about dogs sharing their lives with cats. While neither claims to be a cat behaviour specialist, it leads to a fascinating discussion about relationships between species, individual differences and understanding the dog in front of us.
In Advice Given Online, they unpack the advice that dogs shouldn't be allowed to scratch the ground after peeing or pooing. Why do dogs actually do it, and are we misunderstanding yet another perfectly natural behaviour?
Then, in Debunk a Myth, they tackle the enormous statement that \"dogs always want to please us.\" What does that even mean—and is pleasing us really what motivates our dogs?
And Speak English Proper returns with one that takes the conversation somewhere rather unexpected...
🐾 Because when we stop asking, \"How do I stop this behaviour?\" and start asking, \"What is my dog trying to tell me?\", everything begins to change.
