Welcome to Episode 18!
This week we are taking the social systems of dogs under the magnifying glass and looking at some way in which we can reduce the risk of aggravation around the home.
We highlight how dogs are driven towards specific goals and that each dog has their own different agenda.
Also discussed is what to look for in yourself and how to gauge what your capable of managing and resolving.
Dogs are social animals with some similarities to their wild kin, however through artificial selection they have a behavioural range very different to those wild cousins. As such, we have to look at our dogs differently and impose tighter management and lifestyle choices externally that our dogs otherwise would not. This ensures that we are able to reduce the risk of dog fights, maximise the harmony within our household and enjoy our dogs better in general.
This episode is the genesis for a deeper dive - over the course of multiple episodes - of the social aspects of dogs.
