#166 The Secret To A Happier Dog: Understanding What They Were Bred To Do

Have you ever wondered why your dog behaves the way they do, despite your best efforts to train them?In this episode, Lee Bridges and I explore how understanding your dog's breed history and natural instincts can completely change the way you see their behaviour. You'll discover why many of the behaviours we label as problems are often your dog trying to meet needs that modern life no longer fulfils, helping you build a happier, more balanced relationship together.Along the way we discuss:✔ What different dog breeds were originally bred to do✔ Why breed characteristics still influence behaviour today✔ The reasons behind barking, chewing, chasing and frustration✔ Why mental stimulation and scent work are just as important as exercise✔ How to better meet your dog's natural needs, whatever their breed or mixI hope this episode helps you understand your dog on a much deeper level and gives you practical ways to help them thrive, rather than simply trying to manage their behaviour.————————————————CONNECT WITH LEE BRIDGESPlay9:https://www.play9.co.ukInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/play9world————————————————👇 Interested in Freedom From Self-Sabotage Coaching?Book a complimentary discovery call:⁠https://www.catherineedwards.life/freedom-from-self-sabotage-10-week-programme/⁠————————————————Work with CatherineIf you'd like deeper support for yourself or the animals in your care, explore Catherine’s consultations and courses here:🌿 ⁠https://www.catherineedwards.life⁠————————————————⚠️ Stay informed with uncensored updates:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/CatherineEdwardsLife⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Join my newsletter 👉 ⁠https://www.catherineedwards.life/signup-for-newsletter/⁠✍️ Follow my Substack for deeper dives and written content: 👉 ⁠https://substack.com/@catherineedwards⁠————————————————⚡ Generators Catherine Recommends (10% OFF)⁠https://www.catherineedwards.life/product/ecoflow-generators-whole-home-portable-power/⁠————————————————MasterPeace Zeolite ZWe’re living in a toxic environment, and our animals are in it too.
