Ep. 154 - Katya Lidsky

This week I talk with Katya Lidsky, author of "Be Your Dog's Best Friend" and self-described "recovering dog trainer." Katya challenges traditional obedience-focused training methods, advocating instead for genuine bonding and relationship-building with our dogs. Drawing from her experience volunteering at South LA Animal Shelter, she shares how being present and trusting our instincts creates deeper connections with our pets. Discover how the human-dog bond is mutually transformative and why focusing on awareness rather than control leads to better outcomes for both you and your dog. To learn more about the work Katya is doing you can find her on social media @katyalidsky and find her book "Be Your Dog's Best Friend" wherever books are sold, but hopefully you go to your local indie bookstore!Sponsor:LIX - check out www.lixpetwellness.com to learn more about CBD for pets.
