When Dogs Mirror Us: Exploring the Link Between Human Emotions and Canine Behavior
Manage episode 500983665 series 2816245
Have you ever noticed how your dog's behavior seems to mirror your own emotional state? It's not a coincidence. The connection between human mental health and canine behavior runs deeper than most of us realize, and Kerrie Hoar is bringing this crucial relationship into focus.
Kerrie joins us to share her groundbreaking work at the intersection of dog training and mental health support. Drawing from her experience working with a tri-county consortium of mental health professionals, she reveals how seemingly unrelated behaviors—a child struggling to wait in line at school and a dog pushing to be first for treats—often stem from the same underlying challenges. Through thoughtful observation and collaborative strategies, Kerrie helps clients recognize these patterns and develop skills that benefit both ends of the leash.
