Ever wondered how your thoughts and emotions might be shaping your dog's behavior? Join me as I share a personal story of a dramatic shift in a dog's demeanor that shed light on this fascinating connection.
In this episode of Easier Movement, Happier Dogs, I recount how a friend's dog loved our beach outings but suddenly mirrored her owner's dislike for the beach when her person returned home. This transformation opens our eyes to how our own feelings and perceptions can have a profound impact on our pets.
We'll explore the science behind this phenomenon, diving into the role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) and how adjusting our thoughts can create a more positive reality for both us and our dogs.
Learn how to reframe your language and thoughts to foster a healthier, more collaborative relationship with your furry friend. By viewing ourselves as partners, we can enhance our mutual well-being and create a more supportive environment.
Your feedback and engagement are crucial, so share your questions and ideas for future episodes—we're in this together!

Can you really understand what your dog is thinking just by watching their tail or ears? Discover the surprising truths behind canine body language in our latest episode, where we unravel the mysteries of tail wags, ear positions, and eye expressions.

Want to help your dog reduce the effects of aging, anxiety or arthritis? Or heal fully from an injury or surgery?
Debono Moves, a hands-on approach that uses gentle contact and movements, can help dogs heal and recover from injuries or surgery. And even reduce the effects of aging.
In this episode, I describe how Debono Moves helped dogs like Sonny (knee ligament surgery), Nicky (neck injury), Zoey (hip surgery), and Duffy (15 y/o dog with arthritis in back and hips). And even dogs with DM (degenerative myelopathy).
This gentle hands-on work can improve your dog's body awareness, reduce strain, and boost confidence.
Techniques like rhythm circles, back lifts, and ribcage slides aid in relaxation and association of touch with pleasure.
Debono Moves can be used alongside veterinary care for conditions like arthritis, degenerative myelopathy, and aging-related issues, helping dogs break out of downward spirals, improve mobility, and strengthen the bond between dog and owner.

Discover a simple, powerful hands-on technique to help your dog in body and mind while strengthening your bond. The technique involves a gentle scan of the dog's body, stimulating specific receptors that process sensory information through the emotional part of the brain.
This leads to increased cooperation and bonding between the dog and their person. The contact has the potential to help your dogg become more resilient to stress and improve communication by enhancing awareness of subtle changes in body language.
This gentle scan can be done with your dog in virtually any position, lying on the side, like a sphynx, sitting or even standing.
The slow, gentle movements encourage a deep connection and understanding of the dog's physical and emotional states.
Approaching the practice with fresh eyes and a beginner's mind can help develop a closer relationship with the dog and potentially identify health issues early on.
More information on how to do a body scan can be found in my book, "Grow Young with Your Dog."
Key Takeaways
- Mary Debono shares a hands-on technique for dogs' physical and emotional well-being
- The technique involves a gentle body scan to stimulate specific receptors
- Touch releases neurochemicals for bonding, cooperation, stress resilience, and communication
- Can be done anytime, dog lying down or sitting, focusing on small details
- Described greater detail in Mary Debono's book "Grow Young with Your Dog"
- Creates a deep connection and heartwarming experience for dog and owner

- In this episode, learn tips on making dogs comfortable with paw handling- With your dog relaxed, begin by incidentally touching a paw with something like your leg or something else that’s not your hand
- Use items like coasters or scarves as a barrier between your hand and the dog's foot
- With your dog lying on the side, start with the feet that are closest to the floor. In other words, the paws on the side that the dog is lying on. Dogs often are more comfortable about these paws being touched
- Positive reinforcement training can create positive associations with paw handling
- Stay patient, relaxed, and creative to ensure you keep this an enjoyable, stress-free process for your dog - and you!

Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota, admitted (bragged?) in her book to shooting her young dog Cricket, a 14-month-old wire-haired pointer pup, in the face and killing her. She also wrote that she killed her unnamed, uncastrated goat the same day, in the same gravel pit.
While I can’t imagine anyone listening to this podcast would ever do such a thing, is there something we all can learn from this cruel and violent act?
Are there questions we can ask ourselves about how we’re thinking about our own dogs?Are there areas where WE can do better by our dogs?

If you're interested in helping your dog recover fully from ANY injury (or to help reduce the risk of injury), I hope you tune in to this episode where I discuss how I helped a Labrador recover fully from his knee ligament (CCL) injury.
Key Points:
Habitual Limping: After recovering from surgery, the dog might still limp due to a protective habit formed during the injury and post-surgery phases.
Nervous System Focus: Instead of forcing weight on the injured leg, the approach focuses on working with the dog's nervous system to create a sense of safety and encourage positive movement experiences.
Building Confidence: The process involves addressing muscle tension, discomfort, and anxiety to help the dog regain confidence in using the affected leg.
Gradual Progress: Recovering from ingrained movement habits takes time and consistency.
Celebrating small improvements and maintaining a positive, stress-free environment are crucial.
Non-Forceful Techniques: Gentle hands-on work, simulated walking while lying down, and gradually shifting weight are used to encourage positive movement experiences.

Have you ever wanted to turn back the clock and help your dog feel and move like a younger dog?
In this episode, Mary shares a story about a dog named Cassie who was diagnosed with severe spinal arthritis. Despite trying medication and several alternative therapies, Cassie's condition kept worsening.
Mary used a very different approach with the dog. Instead of focusing on what was wrong, Mary helped the dog feel where the movement was EASY and then built on that. She helped Cassie generalize the feelings of ease and harmony throughout her body.
This allowed her brain to better coordinate her movements, reducing strain on the arthritic areas and allowing for freer, more comfortable movement overall.
In addition, the gentle hands-on work that Mary is describing can improve dogs' quality of life and strengthen the bond between the dogs and their people.
