Elevation Means Status - Talking Dogs Radio Show

Have you ever noticed your dog seeking higher ground—jumping on the couch, standing on your lap, or even claiming the top of the stairs? In this episode, we explore how elevation impacts a dog's perception of status and hierarchy. We discuss what it means when a dog positions itself higher than others, how dogs interpret height in their social structure, and what you can do to ensure elevation doesn't lead to unwanted behaviors. Dog Fact of the Week: In 1990, a blind man named Bill Irwin accomplished an incredible feat—hiking the entire 2,000+ mile Appalachian Trail with the help of his seeing-eye dog, Orient, a loyal German Shepherd. It took them eight months to complete the journey, proving the incredible bond and trust between humans and their dogs. Tune in to learn how small changes in your dog's environment can shape their behavior and mindset! Courtesy 93.9 WLVB Join the Early Bird VIP Wait List for my Canines & Culture Program
