About this Podcast:

Just a Dog Podcast isn’t about obedience or quick fixes. It’s about reflection. Host Nadine, a long-time volunteer dog walker and soon-to-be fosterer, speaks with psychologists, behaviourists, artists, and everyday dog guardians to explore what our treatment of dogs reveals about us as individuals and as a society. This isn’t a how-to. It’s a mirror. A space for asking better questions, challenging inherited beliefs, and living more intentionally, with dogs, and with ourselves. Because they’re never just a dog.
