Show Notes
A very unusual episode this week. We were just about to start recording another episode in the studio and Dr Rob got an emergency call about a mum having trouble delivering her puppies...so off we go. On the way, we talk about drugs and your dog, are there homeopathic alternatives? We talk worming and a bunch of other stuff as we make our way to deliver puppies...so guess how may there were?

Welcome to a brand new episode. This week- Does Your Dog Actually Know Its Own Name? Not as simple as it sounds. Does a dog understand its name as "that's me" — or does it simply associate a particular sound with attention? Can you change a dog's name? Do dogs recognise nicknames? How many words can a dog actually remember? Also this week, The Secret Life of Your Dog's Paws. We talk constantly about noses, ears and teeth, but paws are fascinating. Why do dogs sweat through their paws? Why do some dogs lick their feet obsessively? Why do nails grow differently? What's actually happening to a dog's paws on hot pavement? And Can Dogs Tell When We're Lying? Dogs are extraordinarily good at reading humans — but can they detect deception? Do they trust someone less if that person repeatedly gives them misleading signals? And finally, Why Does My Dog Stare at Me? Not just eye contact, which you've already touched on. Why does a dog sometimes sit across the room and simply stare? Plus the usual Dr Rob banter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
