Beyond Words w/ Alexis Devine
Manage episode 425638313 series 2520087
Alexis Devine has been determined over the past five years to grow the types of communication she has with her dogs. It started with her sheepadoodle, Bunny, who she trained to learn 100+ pre-recorded buttons that helped express feelings, wants, and needs. Today, this has grown to include other techniques like gestural commands or pointing.
Through this process, Alexis has made sure to try to give as much agency to the dogs as possible when making these decisions. Not forcing choices on them, and instead allowing them to lead the way, also enables you to better understand their true nature by paying close attention to subtle cues. In reserving any judgement and just embracing our dogs for who they are, we can do a better job to help accommodate their needs. Along the way, we’ll likely learn a thing or two about ourselves as well.
Since last appearing on Dog Save The People in 2021, Alexis recently released a new book ‘I Am Bunny’ which you can find here:
