Send us a textWhen The Emotional Lives of Animals was first published in 2007, it was a gamechanger for its exploration of animal emotions and cognition. Now, a second edition has been published to bring us up to date on all the new science of animal emotions. Marc Bekoff joins us in this webinar to talk about animals' experiences of joy, empathy, grief, anger, and embarrassment. You'll never see animals the same way again. We talked about: What Marc Bekoff was hoping to do when he wrote the first edition of this book in 2007, and why he wrote a second edition Bekoff says, "It is no longer radical to recognize, respect, and want to protect the emotional lives of animals.” We talk about how people can recognize, respect, and protect animal emotions What he looks out for when he watches dogs run around and play at the dog park Examples of sorrow and empathy in non-human animals Bekoff's research on wild canids including wolves What it was like to create the book, Jane Goodall at 90 Plus Marc did a reading from the book and we were all captivated!

Welcome!First off! I apologize for the dead air space, I am using a different recording platform that apparently does not like my taste in music :-) And, as you cat lovers can relate to, I had to attend to my cat's needs. :-) This episode explores the term "Treat Motivated" referencing common scientific studies to determine what this really means and if the focus on treat motivation means the study is missing some very important information about our dogs!Secondly, I use the example of a client of a student in the CCBT Diploma Program at the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy to discuss the challenges in using Conditioning Methods with dogs that are not "treat motivated"And, finally, is "treat motivated" an advantage when adopting a dog?Be sure to check out www.instituteofcaninepsychotherapy.com for info!

Welcome to the final episode of 2024! 2025 is becoming the year to not simply demand more from industry leaders that have no interest in providing more, but rather, finding those solutions, stepping outside the comfort zone and putting one's own goals first! Does this sound selfish? Pet professionals cannot succeed in this industry by following mainstream, pleasing the industry, remaining loyal to leaders who are more concerned with their own success than that of dog trainers. Continuing to divide the industry and blaming pet parents drives away progress. Pet parents, having an allegiance only to their dog, family, and community expect more from their trainers, and pet professionals need to provide the solutions. When pet professionals empower themselves, they are better equipped to educate pet parents, and, in turn, the needs of dogs are met. The launch of the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy is much more than the launching of a one-of-a-kind institute - it represents the movement toward positioning pet parents and forward-thinking, brave, dog trainers as leaders in the canine behavior and animal welfare realms.Empower Yourself to Make An Impact.

What if animals think and feel in ways we've yet to grasp? In this episode, we delve into this fascinating question with Dr. Marc Bekoff. Dr. Bekoff is a pioneering ethologist and professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Renowned for his groundbreaking work on animal emotions, rewilding, and ethics, he has collaborated with figures like Jane Goodall to challenge our perceptions of nature and published numerous books and essays, the latest of which include A Dog's World: Imagining the Lives of Dogs in a World Without Humans, Dogs Demystified: An A-to-Z Guide to All Things Canine, and The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy―and Why They Matter. We'll also explore his recent book, Dogs Demystified, uncovering fresh insights into our canine companions—how they experience the world, communicate, and how we can improve their lives. “More and more science is being done that shows that animals have rich and deep emotional lives. It's also common sense. What is the number one thing you believe a person can do to give their dog a wonderful life? Love them. Spoil them. Make them the most special beings in the world. And I really mean that. One myth about dogs is that they are unconditional lovers. The other myth is that they're our best friends. Neither is true. Basically, the general bumper sticker is that dogs off leash are better behaved, maybe less assertive, less aggressive, more playful than the same dog on a leash. People who leave their house at eight in the morning and come home at six at night and the dog has no company, I would consider that relatively abusive.” - Dr. Marc Bekoff What we discuss: - Tips for enriching your dog's life. - The truth about alpha dogs and the reality of social hierarchies. - What your dog feels when left alone—and how to ease their stress. - Recognizing when your dog needs to go outside. - Why a vegan diet can be a safer, healthier choice for your dog. - Fascinating facts about a dog's nose and the critical role of scent in their world. - Dr. Bekoff's perspective on purebreds vs. mutts—and what genetics mean for your dog.

Welcome! Anxiety is not a singular behavioral condition, nor does it have a "tick the box" solution. In this episode, I explore Misophonia – a condition that creates a strong negative reaction when hearing triggering sounds. I am using this specific example to show the importance of studying "human" conditions leading to behaviors associated with anxiety. By studying the symptoms, causes, cures, and statistics of these conditions, we can advance our understanding of canine anxiety and how to effectively address the specific form of anxiety as it pertains to the individual dog.

In this episode of Animals & Us - Voices of a New Paradigm, we are joined by the renowned Dr. Marc Bekoff, an animal behavior specialist. With a rich background that includes collaboration with the iconic Jane Goodall, Dr. Bekoff shares his profound insights into the emotional lives of animals and their spiritual connections with humans.We delve into topics such as intuitive interspecies communication, the intrinsic value of all living beings, and how recognizing animals' spiritual experiences can transform public perceptions and policies around animal rights and welfare. Dr. Bekoff discusses the powerful bonds we share with our animal companions and how these relationships can foster deeper understanding and compassion.What we talked about:The spiritual lives of animals: Dr. Bekoff shared his insights into how animals experience what we would consider spiritual moments—a topic he has explored in his essays like "Do Animals Have Spiritual Experiences? Yes, They Do."Animal emotions: We tackled the age-old question, "Do animals have emotions?" (Spoiler: Yes, they do!), and discussed why these emotional lives are so important to understanding animals' intrinsic value.Skepticism from the scientific community: Dr. Bekoff reflected on the skepticism he's faced over the years, particularly from the scientific community. But the tides are shifting—more people are opening their minds to the reality of animal emotions and spirituality.Spirituality and conservation: We also explored how acknowledging the spiritual side of animals can shift the way we approach conservation and animal rights. How does this deeper connection lead to a greater drive for protecting the fellow beings we share our home with?Collaboration with Dr. Jane Goodall: Dr. Bekoff shared the story of how he met and began working with Dr. Jane Goodall, one of the greatest champions of animal welfare.About Dr. Marc Bekoff:A professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Marc has published 31 books (or 41, depending on how you count multi-volume encyclopedias). He has won many awards for his research on animal behavior, animal emotions (cognitive ethology), compassionate conservation, and animal protection, has worked closely with Jane Goodall as co-chair of the ethics committee of the Jane Goodall Institute, and is a former Guggenheim Fellow. He also works closely with inmates at the Boulder County Jail. In June 2022, Marc was recognized as a Hero by the Academy of Dog Trainers. His books include The Animals' Agenda: Freedom, Compassion, and Coexistence in the Human Age, Canine Confidential: Why Dogs Do What They Do, Unleashing Your Dog: A Field Guide to Giving Your Canine Companion the Best Life Possible, and A Dog's World: Imagining the Lives of Dogs in a World Without Humans. Marc's latest books are Dogs Demystified: An A to Z Guide to All Things Canine, the second edition of The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy―and Why They Matter, and
In this episode, we talk with animal behavior expert Dr. Marc Bekoff about the emotional lives of animals and the urgent need for a shift in how we treat them. A pioneer in the field of cognitive ethology, Dr. Bekoff shares his insights on animal emotions, the interconnectedness of animal rights and environmental sustainability, and how we can better understand and care for the incredible beings with whom we share the planet. Highlights include: How cognitive ethology helps us understand the minds and emotions of animals, and why this understanding is essential for improving their wellbeing; What is wrong with the traditional animal welfare approach and why Dr. Bekoff advocates for a science of animal well-being that values each individual animal's life; Why human overpopulation exacerbates habitat destruction and the suffering of animals, stressing the need to reduce human impact on ecosystems; Why the language we use to describe animals, such as referring to them as “who” instead of “it,” plays a crucial role in shaping our perceptions and treatment of them.

Have you ever heard someone say that you should be your dog's “alpha”? I've heard all types of odd advice over the years, like don't let your dog walk through the doorway before you or never feed your dog before you eat. And I've always had lots of questions. Do dogs have alphas? or is that a wolf thing? You often hear the term “alpha male,” but in nature aren't alpha females just as common? What is the role of the alpha in a pack? Are dogs even looking for humans to be their alpha? Fortunately we have renowned ethologist Dr. Marc Bekoff to answer all these questions and more for us. Though a self-proclaimed “terrible student,” Dr. Bekoff is a prolific writer, and his remarkable career often has him collaborating with the likes of Jane Goodall. As a pet parent companion animal guardian, Dr. Bekoff makes me think about the type of relationship I want to have with my dogs and the type of human I want to be. (And also about some of the past blunders I've inadvertently made.) From sniffing & playtime to navigating dog parks, Dr. Bekoff gives us practical ways to truly honor our dogs' “dogness.” Find links & show notes at: https://believeindogpodcast.com/episodes-1/episode103 Teef: The easiest way to improve your dog's dental health is with a spoonful of Teef powder in their water.

Greetings to you Bookshelvers!What a corker of an episode we have for you today! Yet another returning guest here at Barks HQ today as we talk to the award winning scientist and all round brilliant human being, the one and only, Marc Bekoff about his wonderful book The Emotional Lives of Animals. Marc has recently revised this ground breaking book (first released in 2007) and we thought it would be a great opportunity to catch up and talk about it. Marc's predictions that, after the books initial release, our understanding of animal cognition and emotion would grow “richer, more accurate, and possibly different,” has certainly come true with an explosion of research that has warranted this revision and super charged what was already a "must own" book in the stratosphere of bookshelf must haves.Full of engrossing animal stories of empathy, joy, grief, anger, embarrassment and love we defy anyone reading it to leave this book without a new found and concrete understanding of the depths of non human animals lived experiences. As we know, with knowledge also comes responsibility and this book shines a big bright light on how we should use this knowledge to inform how humans can go forward and change how we care for and treat the animals we share our lives with. Jump aboard Bookshelvers... You're gonna love it!

HOW DO YOU ALL DO BOOKSHELVERS!? Another fortnight has passed and that means another sparkling new episode of Barks from the Bookshelf is here to tickle your, dog nerd, ear buds into joyus submission. This week is a WHOPPER of an episode BUT it's a whopper for a very good reason! This week We are thrilled to interview the wonderful force of nature that is Linda Michaels, M.A., Psychology about her book The Do No Harm Dog Training & Behaviour Handbook. As many of you already know, Linda will be crossing the Atlantic and speaking at the DOGx 2024 conference this October. You'll get a glimpse into the “force of nature” that is Linda Michaels during this interview as we discuss her origins, the decisions and processes that led to the book itself, the development of the Hierarchy of Dog Needs, activism and some, good old psychology as well. We also get a taster of what's to come at DOGx. There really isn't enough words to describe Linda's role in moving the dog training and behaviour world forward so you'll just have to listen. On top of all that Corrin, Nat and Steve talk through the book and answer your Bookshelver questions in their own rambling style. Linda Facts:Linda Michaels, M.A., Psychology, author of the ground-breaking, best-seller, The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook— Featuring the Hierarchy of Dog Needs pioneers the “First, Do No Harm” ethics approach in dog training. With an advanced degree in psychology and animal behaviour, research conducted in behavioural neurobiology, and five years of shelter and rescue experience, Linda's work bridges a gap between science, dog trainers, and pet parents with hands-on skills with dogs, wolfdogs, and the famed Belyaev foxes. Linda tells us, “My shelter experience working with the most difficult behavioural cases helped lay the foundation for all of the work I do today in animal care and training, protecting both the physical and the emotional well-being of the heartbeats at our feet.”Linda is considered one of the modern-era, trailblazing experts and influencers in canine behaviour consulting and animal welfare advocacy. Her internationally acclaimed Hierarchy of Dog Need teaching tool, now translated into 14 languages, is endorsed by canine scientists and ethologists as well as trainers, new and seasoned, and is available FREE. The Hierarchy of Dog Needs offers a clear, dog-centric alternative to the outdated, teaching paradigms widely used today.The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook combines compassion with science in an easy-to-follow roadmap to success, providing answers to common and complex dog behaviour problems. Illustrating the most effective methods endorsed by the greatest minds in dog training and behaviour, dog lovers are taken on a journey to understanding and meeting their dog's needs. The first section of The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook is devoted to detailing each item on the Hierarchy of Dog Needs. By addressing needs first, pet parents and trainers often find that many behaviour problems may all but disappear. The meticulously researched handbook tackles the most challenging issues faced by dog lovers and pet professionals, including: nutrition, veterinary and grooming visits, basic training skills, aggression, and separation anxiety. With a foreword by Dr. Marc Bekoff, co-founder with Jane Goodall of the Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the handbook is scientifically supported with 18 pages of scholarly journal citations and a detailed index.You may find Linda in international trade magazines, and as a featured expert in Psychology Today online, Newsweek online, Huffington Post Live, Wolf Dog Radio, as an APBC, Dog-Centered Care, Barking Up the Right Tree International Festival for Reactive Dogs, KIENO Summit, Puppy Blueprint, Dog Wisdom webinar presenter, and speaker at the inaugural Pet Professional Guild Summit on “Understanding Research—Making the Case for Force-free Dog Training.”Linda founded the wildly popular Do No Harm Dog Training Facebook group where you can easily find her, and recently launched the DoNoHarmDogTraining.com swag store.Links:Amazon Link to purchase The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behavior Handbook:https://www.amazon.com/dp/1732253706?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_6R09BF50YG2ZBDZPKCHB&language=en-USThe Do No Harm Website & Store:https://www.donoharmdogtraining.com/DOGx Tickets:https://www.pact-dogs.com/dogx2024Subscribe to receive a weekly PACT Lunch:https://www.pact-dogs.com/
