from The Bitey End of the Dog · host Michael Shikashio CDBC

Have you ever noticed how your dog's behavior seems to mirror your own emotional state? It's not a coincidence. The connection between human mental health and canine behavior runs deeper than most of us realize, and Kerrie Hoar is bringing this crucial relationship into focus.Kerrie joins us to share her groundbreaking work at the intersection of dog training and mental health support. Drawing from her experience working with a tri-county consortium of mental health professionals, she reveals how seemingly unrelated behaviors—a child struggling to wait in line at school and a dog pushing to be first for treats—often stem from the same underlying challenges. Through thoughtful observation and collaborative strategies, Kerrie helps clients recognize these patterns and develop skills that benefit both ends of the leash.About Kerrie:https://www.crimsonhound.com/meet-the-trainer-kerrie-hoar/Learn more about options for help for dogs with aggression here:AggressiveDog.comLearn more about the CANIS Conference here:CANIS ConferenceSubscribe to the bonus episodes available here:The Bitey End of the Dog Bonus EpisodesCheck out all of our webinars, courses, and educational content here:Webinars, courses, and more!
