• Wired for Each Other: The Incredible Science Behind the Dog-Human Connection

  You’re not just your dog’s food dispenser or walk provider—you’re their emotional anchor, communication partner, and literal brain-shaper. This episode dives into the science of that relationship, uncovering how dogs have evolved to thrive with humans—not other dogs—and why that changes everything about how we train, raise, and relate to them. We’re talking oxytocin spikes, brain scans, evolutionary theory, and why your dog’s wagging tail and floppy ears are hardwired evidence of thousands of years of co-evolution. 💡 Inside this episode you’ll learn: – Why dogs know we’re not dogs—and why that matters – How they’ve developed supercharged communication skills just for us – The hormone behind your dog’s devotion – Why socialising with random dogs isn’t as natural—or necessary—as you’ve been told 🎯  By the end, you’ll see your role in your dog’s life differently—and you’ll have real, practical insight to deepen your bond and supercharge your training. 🎓 Want more? → Explore online courses & shop training packs: www.listendogtraining.com → Follow @listendogtraining on IG & TikTok Whether you're a lifelong dog lover or just starting your journey, this episode will change the way you see your relationship—and leave you feeling even more in awe of your dog (if that’s possible?!)
