About this episode

The episode discusses changing dog behavior, biases in categorization, and the ethics surrounding street dogs.

Where we sit down together to talk about Lauren's recent approach to changing her dog's behaviour, how our biases affect our categorisation of such things, and if any of it it really matters. Also, thinking about Matthias' lizard, trading autonomy for comfort, and the ethics of importing street dogs. The Dress Drama: how our differences shape our perceptions ⁠⁠⁠Topic or guest suggestions?
