Ep. 21: L.E.G.S.: Looking at the Whole Dog

D.O.G. Dog Owners Guide, Lessons from a Dog Trainer

Megan Arey, AAS, CPDT-KA, CGC Evaluator Owner & Trainer recently earned her license as a Family Dog Mediator through Kim Brophey’s course, L.E.G.S.® Applied Ethology! Megan is passionate about educating dog parents about not just the behaviors that we see as disruptive but about how to be successful with them as we look to understand the whole dog that we have in front of us. In this podcast, Megan will take you through L.E.G.S; what that is and why it is so important to look at when we are evaluating our dogs. So today, let’s meet our dogs where they are, love them for who they are, and recognize all that they bring in their unique ways to interact with us in our world.
