Kay Attwood, Author of Canine Cognitive Skills, on teaching your dog to think for themselves

In this episode, Nathan is joined by Kay Attwood, founder of K9 Services and author of Canine Cognitive Skills, to explore a genuinely fascinating approach to dog training: Canine Cognitive Behaviour Training (CCBT). Kay explains how giving dogs the freedom to think, problem-solve, and make choices can transform behaviour from the inside out, particularly for anxious and reactive dogs. Whether you are a seasoned dog guardian or just starting out, this conversation will change the way you see what is going on behind your dog's eyes.What you'll learn in this episode:✅ What Canine Cognitive Behaviour Training (CCBT) actually is and how it differs from conventional reward-based training✅ The difference between the "play brain" and the "reactive brain" and why it matters for your dog's behaviour✅ Why giving dogs real choices builds confidence and reduces stress hormones✅ Simple, low-cost games you can try at home using everyday household items✅ How cognitive enrichment can support anxious and reactive dogs without medication✅ Why slowing down and letting your dog think is one of the most powerful things you can do as a guardianKey takeaways:<ul><li>Dogs are continually looking for solutions; they are not trying to be difficult</li><li>Enrichment is not just about keeping dogs busy. It is about giving them meaningful mental engagement and genuine downtime</li><li>You do not need expensive equipment. A bag of plastic cups or empty water bottles can be the start of a cognitive training journey</li><li>The relationship between dog and guardian improves dramatically when both learn to communicate, not just instruct</li></ul> <h3>Connect with Kay Attwood</h3><a href="https://www.kay9services.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kay's website</a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Canine-Cognitive-Skills-Kay-Attwood/dp/1910488712/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XQITQREHK3ZX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Tro2Fh2yx_bHykI067814w.F-FMRh0KdPSEnr7yX94ITMOLfs57o7xoNsoOkFbxVe4&dib_tag=se&keywords=kay+attwood&qid=1779018869&sprefix=kay+attwood%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cognitive Canine Skills book on Amazon</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/kay9Services" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kay's Facebook page</a>🐾 Find ethical, qualified pet professionals near you at <a href="https://yappily.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yappily</a> the directory for dog guardians who care about doing right by their dog.🎙️ Enjoyed this episode?

Caroline Griffith creator of Canine Flow on soul dogs, energy healing and how your emotional energy shapes your dog's behaviour

In this episode, Nathan is joined by Caroline Griffith, holistic canine expert, retreat facilitator and creator of Canine Flow, a transformational approach that explores the emotional and energetic bond between dogs and their guardians. Caroline shares why she believes dogs are feeling beings first and foremost, and how our subconscious emotional state can directly shape the way our dogs behave. If you've ever sensed something deeper at play in your relationship with your dog, this conversation will give you a whole new way of seeing it.What you'll learn in this episode:✅ What Canine Flow is and why Caroline calls it "the missing half of the story" in dog care✅ What a soul dog is and how to recognise if you've had one✅ How your subconscious emotional energy can drive your dog's behaviour, reactivity and anxiety✅ Why dogs are drawn to our feet, our worn socks, and the energy we carry in our hearts✅ What happens on a Canine Flow retreat and why every single dog settles✅ How to begin tuning into your dog's emotional world through mindfulness and daily practice✅ The role grief plays in the human-dog bond and how dogs help us process itKey takeaways:<ul><li>Dogs don't think their way through life, they feel and sense their way through it, responding to emotional frequencies we may not even be aware of</li><li>Behaviours we label as problems (separation anxiety, reactivity, barking) may be your dog's way of responding to stuck or stagnant emotional energy</li><li>You don't have to be spiritual to benefit from this work, presence, calm and emotional awareness help every dog guardian</li><li>Dogs seek to "ground" our energy, which is why they take your seat, lick your feet, and want to be near you. It's connection, not habit</li></ul> <h3>Connect with Caroline</h3><a href="https://canineflow.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Canine Flow website</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/spiritualdogs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spiritual Dogs Instagram</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/LoveWoofandWonder" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Love, Woof and Wonder Facebook page</a>🐾 Find ethical, qualified pet professionals near you at <a href="https://yappily.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yappily</a> the directory for dog guardians who care about doing right by their dog.🎙️ Enjoyed this episode?

Georgie Bleza from Trick Woofs talks about how simple dog training illustrations help dog guardians finally "get" their dogs

Georgie Bleza is a dog trainer, self-taught artist, and the creative mind behind Trick Woofs, a body of work that uses comics and illustrations to make dog behaviour accessible, relatable, and genuinely joyful.In this episode, Nathan chats with Georgie about the power of visual learning, what consent-based training really looks like in everyday life, and why trick training is far more useful than most people think.If you've ever struggled to explain what you know about dogs to someone else, Georgie's work might just do it for you.What you'll learn in this episode:✅ Why visual resources help dog guardians understand behaviour in a way that words often can't✅ What consent-based training actually means and how to start building it into daily life✅ How to read when your dog is giving or withdrawing consent, from grooming to walks✅ Why trick training builds confidence in anxious and nervous dogs✅ How to slow down and give your dog processing time and why it makes all the difference✅ What the "hold" trick can do for resource guarders and why a hand touch is one of the most versatile skills you can teachKey takeaways:<ul><li>Consent isn't just a buzzword; it's about opening up a conversation with your dog and giving them a genuine stop/start button in situations they find difficult</li><li>Slowing down is one of the simplest and most powerful things you can do, whether that's with a harness, a vet visit, or a training session</li><li>Trick training gives dogs a sense of purpose and confidence, and there's a practical use for almost every trick you can teach</li><li>Your dog feels your emotional state. If you're frustrated, they notice. A calm handler makes for a calmer dog</li><li>Science-based trainers are stronger together division creates noise that confuses dog guardians who are just trying to do right by their dogs</li></ul> 🐾 Find ethical, qualified pet professionals near you at <a href="https://yappily.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yappily</a>, the directory for dog guardians who care about doing right by their dog.🎙️ Enjoyed this episode?
