    ‘Proprioception and Dogs’ with Kirsty and Laura

    Our 'A Dog's Pace' podcast is recorded every month and includes member interviews, special guests and other SLOW focused stories and content. The entire podcast is available on our⁠ PATREON⁠ page at the AMBASSADOG level, and as a portion on SPOTIFY for your friends and family. Many of our podcasts ARE available in full, so ask your dog loving friends to start listening! In our January podcast, Kirsty Falk, our co-director, and I, talk about dogs and ‘proprioception.’ A definition of this term is: ‘Proprioception is the body’s ability to sense its own position, movement, and actions in space without relying on visual input. It is often referred to as the ‘sixth sense’ and is essential for coordination, balance, and motor control.’ (https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/proprioception and https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/proprioception). Our dog nerd meanderings and concrete visual examples provide a practical foundation for dog guardians to start trying this out, if they haven’t already. I mentioned the ‘Ortodon Sensory Orthopaedic Foot Massage Floor Mat’ tool, in the podcast. I have provided a link to it here.

    'Co-regulation - The Co-Directors’ Edition'

    Our 'A Dog's Pace' podcast is recorded every month and includes member interviews, special guests and other SLOW focused stories and content. The entire podcast is available on our⁠ PATREON⁠ page at the AMBASSADOG level, and as a portion on SPOTIFY . Many of our podcasts ARE available in full, so ask your dog friends to start listening! This month our co-directors got together to talk about ‘co-regulation’ between dogs and humans. The podcast was inspired by Rose Waldrup and her IG feed where she explores hands on somatic touch and scientific proof of its benefits on the dog’s nervous system. None of us are experts or body work practitioners, and really only touched upon the very tiniest part of this subject. Apologies for my feverish dialogue, as I was sick during this podcast. Tanya hadn’t eaten dinner yet as she had just returned from her work in Moscow and it was 10pm her time. The next time we attempt to discuss this most important realm of dog health, we will be interviewing a professional.  If you would like to join me on the podcast and share your Slow Dog Movement story, please get in touch.
