Bonus: Dog Parkology | Guided Play | Ep. 2

You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all the other podcast platforms. New episodes post every other Tuesday.

A Spinoff Series from Dog Save The People about Dog Parks

About The Episode

Guided Play is a learning approach borrowed from child education that may be applied to dogs, too. It involves ongoing observation and interaction to understand the subject's needs and preferences.

As dog parents, we should actively pay attention to our dogs at dog parks to ensure optimal engagement.

Some dogs may love socializing or only want to play catch with you. Some dogs may prefer wide open, unfenced public land to explore and express their natural instincts.

In this episode, we hear from guest experts Teena Patel, Dr. Camille Ward, and Meredith May.

This show is produced by As It Should Be Productions, the creators of the Dog Save The People and Dog Walk Meditation podcasts.
