Episode 316: Are dogs better off now?

In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, we explore the intriguing question: Are dogs better off now compared to 30 years ago? With advancements in training methods, nutrition, and pet care, many would assume that dogs are living their best lives today. However, there are complexities to consider. Have modern lifestyle changes and human expectations placed additional stress on our canines?

We also discuss how humans often want their dogs to share emotional moments with them, but they don’t always perceive these moments in the same way. What means a lot to us may hold a different significance to our canine companions. Understanding how dogs interpret our emotions and actions is key to building a strong, fulfilling relationship with them.

Throughout the episode, we respond to questions from our TCP community, diving into topics that resonate with dog owners who wonder about the balance between modern conveniences and their dog’s overall well-being. Whether you’re a long-time dog owner or new to the world of dogs, this episode will get you thinking about how our relationships with dogs have evolved over the years.
