Season 1, Episode 2: Canine Emotions

What Your Dog Is Really Feeling? What if your dog’s "bad behaviour" isn’t disobedience - but communication? In this episode of The Dog Expert Podcast, Jo Middleton, Emily Dustan and guests Linda Michaels M.A. and Dr. Jessica Pierce, dive into the emotional lives of dogs. From joy and fear to frustration and grief, we explore the emotions behind common behaviours - and why recognising them is the key to building trust, resilience, and lasting change. You’ll learn what the science says about canine emotions, how to spot the emotional signals your dog is giving you every day, and why emotional safety matters more than obedience. If you've ever wondered what your dog is really feeling, this episode is for you. The Dog Expert Podcast is powered by CaninePrinciples.com
