in this refreshing and insightful episode, I'm talking to Lisbeth, the founder of the Nordic Education Centre for Ethical Dog Training, Nordic Dog Training for short. She shares how severe health struggles led her into the world of dog training, and how Turid Rugaas's work on calming signals inspired her to explore ways to help dogs and their people. The two key elements are 1. learning to "speak dog", i.e. to understand what dogs are communicating through body language and behaviour, and 2. communicating in a way that's easy for dogs to understand. And .. you guessed it .. that's not through lots of words 😛 Lisbeth has a huge toolbox of surprisingly simple and highly effective ways to communicate with your dog. In fact, her video about the Hand Signal, well my dogs' reaction to it 😛, was what made me reach out and invite her onto the podcast. If you sometimes feel that a lot gets "lost in translation" between you and your dog, you'll love this episode!
