In this episode, we explore neurodiversity in dogs and share our experiences of living with dogs whose behavior, sensory sensitivities, and training needs diverge from the "norm" of expected dog behavior. We also dig deeper into the term "neurodivergent" and examine the pro's and con's of using this term with dogs. Angela helps us find curiosity by accepting our dogs for who they are and Sharon shares the "Consensual Petting" Care Tip to help us give more autonomy to dogs when they interact with us.

On Neurodiversity with Humans
In this episode, we explore neurodiversity, ableism, and the deficit-based medical model of mental health care by sharing our personal experiences with being labeled, discovering our neurodivergence, and reclaiming a strengths-based approach to caring for ourselves. Sharon helps us appreciate the challenges and opportunities with being a neurodivergent dog guardian, and Angela teaches us the Humming Bee’s Breath to help us connect with our bodies and the greater human collective.

Success with Dogs
In this episode, we explore our perceptions of what it means to be a “successful” dog guardian and how this impacts our mental health and our perceptions of our dogs’ behavior. We also answer the questions: Do dogs set goals? Do they feel proud when they accomplish something? And, How do they feel about failure? Angela opens up about her journey as Duchess’s guardian, and Sharon shares the Sniff Box tip, a low cost resource to enrich your dog’s days and support them in managing frustration.
