233 | Want to Matter More to Your Dog? Step Into Their World

Hey Dog Lover 🐾

We spend a LOT of time trying to get our dogs to pay attention to us.

Look at me.

Come with me.

Leave that.

Let’s go.

But how much attention are we paying to them?

In this episode, we’re talking about Relevance, one of the three pieces of my Foundation of Relationship, and what it actually means to become relevant to your dog.

Because relevance isn’t simply about getting your dog’s attention.

It’s about whether you matter to your dog’s experience of the world.

And maybe if we want our dogs to care about what matters to us, we need to start by genuinely caring about some of the things that matter to them.

We’ll talk about:

🐾 What it actually means to become relevant to your dog
🐾 Why attention and relevance aren’t necessarily the same thing
🐾 Why understanding your dog starts with seeing the world from their point of view
🐾 What a walk in the woods taught me about entering a dog’s world
🐾 Why the “same walk” may be completely different to your dog every single day
🐾 How slowing down and getting curious can change the way you experience walks together
🐾 Why relevance isn’t about becoming more exciting than the environment
🐾 How shared experiences can help build connection, trust, and a stronger relationship with your dog

Because relationship can’t always be:

“Come into my world.”

Sometimes we need to say:

“Show me yours.”

The next time your dog becomes fascinated by something, and it’s safe to do so, stop for a second.

Look.

Get curious.

What are they experiencing that you’re missing?

Hope you enjoy this one!
