EPS: 2 - Beyond Labels: Understanding Your Dog's True Needs
Manage episode 497705805 series 3680726
Welcome to this episode of Rewriting the Rules, where we shift the focus from control to understanding in our relationship with dogs. Host Bethany Bell, creator of the Canine Dialogue Dynamics Method, challenges the conventional approach of labelling dogs based on behaviour, advocating for a deeper connection through empathy and curiosity.
In this thought-provoking discussion, Bethany invites listeners to view dog behaviour as a form of communication rather than a problem to be fixed. She encourages a pause for reflection on what emotions and needs might be driving the behaviour, promoting a relationship built on trust and emotional connection.
By exploring the limitations of traditional behaviour labels and their impact on our dogs’ lives, the episode inspires dog lovers to replace quick judgments with questions and open-mindedness. Tune in to transform your approach, discover how emotional awareness can lead to natural behaviour shifts, and learn why true understanding begins when labels end.
