    From competition to connection with Pennie Clayton (UK)

    If you were at the top of your game, winning competitions and receiving approval from those around you, what would it take for you to walk away? For dog and horse specialist Pennie Clayton it was listening to the needs of her dog Flynt. During this episode Pennie shares how her understanding of dog behaviour and communication was shaped by recognising what Flynt truly enjoyed in life. We discuss how ambition and ego can sometimes get in the way of enjoying our lives with our dogs, as well as the ways they benefit when we put these things aside. This is the episode to listen to if you strive to be your dog's best friend.

    More than a family pet with Mel Ritterman (Australia)

    The old maxim of 'never work with children and animals' doesn't apply in Mel Ritterman's world. In this 'That Dog' story, we meet the gorgeous Cooper, a golden retriever who helped his human re-evaluate and grow in new directions, from career to parenting. Mel runs a successful business in Melbourne, Australia called Cooper and Kids which specialises in creating safe, happy and positive relationships between babies, kids and dogs. During this episode Mel talks honestly and openly about the mistakes she made with Cooper in the beginning and the crucial role he played in how she now works with and supports dogs and families. We delve into ways parents can foster healthier relationships between dogs and children, as well as the often unfair expectations we place on the 'family pet'. This is a must listen episode not just for parents but for anyone who believes dogs deserve to be understood, loved and respected members of the family. www.cooperandkids.com Facebook @cooperandkids Instagram @cooperandkids

    Interspecies empathy with Lisa Tenzin-Dolma (UK)

    Can dogs provide a gateway to a richer emotional life? When Skye the lurcher entered the home of Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, he provided her with new depths of understanding of canine communication. Lisa has been an influential force within the dog industry and played a pivotal role in educating future generations of trainers and behaviour consultants. During this conversation we talk about changes in the industry and what they mean for the future of dog training, as well as ways we can build harmonious lives with our dogs. We discuss Skye's rambunctious teenage phase and how he went on to help many other dogs recover from trauma and live better lives. This is a 'that dog' story that celebrates the power of friendship.

    Healing on your own terms with Sindhoor Pangal (India)

    Nishi is the quintessential 'that dog'. Her story and the ripple effect it had on those around her can teach us so much about resilience, autonomy and staying afloat when everything falls apart. Sindhoor Pangal is a prominent canine behaviour consultant, canine myotherapist, speaker, author and the director of BHARCS, a global educational organisation based in Bangalore. In this episode she shares the heartbreaks and triumphs of a very special dog and the wisdom she gained from living alongside her. This is a conversation far beyond training which delves into what it means to coexist with dogs and face our traumas together.
