Today’s episode is all about dog behaviour and I am super excited to reintroduce Nigel Reed. Nigel was our first ever guest on The Consult Room podcast with our most popular episode ever ‘Is the UK heading for a Dog Behaviour Crisis?'.  Nigel has dedicated his whole life and career to improving the lives of dogs through better communication, and by helping owners to understand the language that their dogs speak. Nigel is also known as 'The Dog Guardian' and he regularly appears on TV, radio and Youtube where his channel has had millions of views. His book titled ‘The Dog Guardian’ was an instant Amazon best seller. Nigel was founder of the hugely innovative Wolf Within Project and over the years he’s worked with 1000’s of owners, including some very high profile celebrities. Topics in this episode: Nigel’s fascinating career and how he became The Dog Guardian. What dog behaviour can tell us about our own behaviour? Why the relationship with our dogs should be nurturing and parenting. The need to get to the root cause of dog behaviour is better than simply training it out... Lessons in leadership from working with dogs. The Wolf Within Project : What teenagers with problem behaviours can learn from training problem dogs. Why failure in dog behaviour is more about the people than the dogs. Are dog behaviour training camps a good idea? Common dog behavioural problems. The Consult Room is a space that celebrates pets and people.
