Whether navigating challenging behaviors, wanting to bond better, or simply curious to understand your dog on a deeper level, this podcast has something for every modern dog pet parent. We go way beyond training, getting realistic about sharing our lives with and caring for our dogs! Get ready to make life more DogLogical! Hosted by Renee Rhoades, an Applied Animal Behaviorist with over 20 years of experience working alongside dogs and guardians. Renee founded the community R+Guardians, a learning space for all dog lovers. To learn more, visit www.rplusguardians.com

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Conor Brady, an animal nutritionist and the founder of Dogs First Ireland. I have been following Conor for the last few years after watching a presentation he gave on the role of nutrition in behavior. During the presentation, he confirmed what I had already researched and my suspicions about the relation of diet to behavior - so, of course, I wanted to know more! Conor's commitment (and no-nonsense approach) to busting myths about dog nutrition makes the topic far more digestible (pun intended)! Conor is someone that I trust not only to guide my clients through their own diet issues but also the person I trust with my own dog's health. I hope this episode brings more clarity to your search in diet options for your dog.
 
NOTE: No one should feel shame about what they feed their dog. This episode's advice does not replace speaking to a nutritionist directly about your dog's diet. If you would like to consult Conor, he supplies free resources and very reasonably priced webinars and consultations on his website: https://dogsfirst.ie/ He also has published a book called Feeding Dogs that you can purchase <a href="https://amzn.to/3Ob6Dhw" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>

About our guest:
Alexis Devine is an artist and entrepreneur hailing from Seattle, Washington. A longtime creator of wearable art before her sheepadoodle Bunny, known as "What About Bunny" on social media became an internet sensation in the fall of 2020. Videos of her communicating with assistive technology from FluentPet went viral. Bunny now has over one hundred buttons individually programmed with various words that she uses to communicate needs, wants, and even express when she is in pain. She is part of an ongoing canine cognition research study at the Comparative Cognition Lab at UCSD. 
These days Alexis is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Licensed Family Dog Mediator, and a Fear Free Certified professional. Her goal is to further our understanding of the power of connection and importance of empathy, meeting her dogs where they are and understanding them on their terms to facilitate trust and promote an environment that supports them as the incredible creatures they are.
