The Dog Walk Meditation podcast has been designed to calm your mind and connect with your dog during daily walks. These meditations will help release distractions, reduce stress, and focus on being present with your dog. Personal time spent with a dog is key to strengthening your mutual connection. When you feel calm, your dog feels calm, too. Season 2 is guided by Annette McGivney, an award-winning journalist, book author, and lifelong meditator. Season 1 was guided by certified meditation teacher John Bartlett, best known for his work as a fashion designer and animal activist. This show is a spinoff series of the Dog Save The People (dogsavethepeople.com) podcast, which features uplifting interview stories about how life is better with a dog. Both shows are original podcast series created by As It Should Be Productions (asitshouldbe.tv).
