Can Puppies "Think Cognitively"? Are Cognitive Exercises Influential During Puppyhood? Marc Bekoff's Newest Release.

Welcome!

This episode was inspired by a ClubHouse Chat with the Director of the Thinking Dog Centre and Asst Prof at Hunter College, Sarah Byosiere, who talked about cognitive abilities in dogs and puppies. I often get asked why I do not work with puppies - find out why!  How are the cognitive skills of puppies harnessed and applied differently to that of dogs?

Yup! Marc Bekoff sent me an email about his new book - get the scoop on how it relates to my passion for street dogs.

Stay tuned for the release of the second edition of my book. I chat about that at the end of this episode.

Enjoy!
