About this episode

This episode discusses how dogs interpret communication differently and offers insights for better understanding and training your dog.

Hey Dog Lover! 🐾 Feel like your dog isn’t listening—even though you know they’ve been trained? Do you find yourself repeating commands or getting frustrated when your dog ignores you? What if your dog is actually listening… just not to what you think you’re saying? In Part 3 of our series Conversations with your Dog, I’m sharing why your dog might not be listening—and how it has less to do with obedience and more to do with communication. We explore how dogs interpret energy, body language, and words differently than we do, and why your dog may be responding accurately—just not to the signals you think you’re giving. If you’re struggling with dog training, feeling like your dog is inconsistent, or dealing with a reactive or sensitive dog, this episode will help you understand what your dog is actually responding to—so you can create clearer, more effective communication and start seeing real changes in your dog’s behaviour. Hope you enjoy!
