The Polyvagal Theory: Know It And Know Your Dog, With Sue Mimm

Today’s Guest

Sue Mimm - Reactive Dog Expert

I’m so excited to introduce to you today’s guest, dog trainer and behavior therapist, Sue Mimm. For someone who describes herself as “not very sciencey” she sure has a great understanding of what’s going on when our dogs are reacting! Sue is a fellow dog behaviorist, and we found a great deal of common ground when it comes to our ways of working with reactive dogs. We both understand that dogs who’ve had some sort of trauma, or even just a lack of socialization, can be reactive to other dogs, strangers and a variety of other stimuli. We know that we need to help these dogs learn that the things they think are dangerous, actually aren't… and we know that our barking, lunging dog is not just doing this for the fun of it. Our dog is actually distressed. 

Now what Sue brings to us today is a scientific explanation of what’s going on in our dog’s brain and body while they are reacting to things they think might be dangerous. Driven by her own desire to understand and help our distressed dogs, Sue’s research led her to the Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, Ph.D. This has enabled Sue to understand and to pinpoint the times when we can work on desensitization with our dogs versus the times when we need to just allow our dogs to feel safe and happy, and highlights the importance of the Social Engagement System.

When we understand what’s really going on inside our dogs, and we understand the science behind what makes our training methods so successful, then we are far better equipped to help our reactive dogs.

I just loved having this chat with Sue because it helped me to understand WHY we aim to work with our dogs when they’re in the Green Zone. I knew that our dogs learn best when they’re calm, and that trying to work with a dog who has spiked up into the Red Zone is simply not helpful, but it was such a buzz for me to learn the science behind why this is the case!

If you’re trying to help your reactive dog then you absolutely MUST tune into today’s podcast with Sue Mimm. You’ll be seeing things in a whole new light!

Where To Get CBD Oil For Your Dog

As you’ve heard, it’s all about the quality of the CBD oil out there in the market. Is it Broad Spectrum? Is it Premium Grade? Does it have zero THC? These are really important questions, and I’ve spent a long time researching this.

I can now say that the only CBD products for dogs I recommend are the ones I have personally been involved with, right from the growing and sourcing of the hemp to the final manufacturing...

Show 24: Pet Food or Pet Fooled? A Look Inside a Questionable Industry

Thursday Sep 17, 2020

Pet Food or Pet Fooled? A Look Inside a Questionable Industry

Today’s Guest

Kohl Harrington - Director of Pet Fooled

My guest today is the man who BLEW THE LID on the commercial pet food industry with his documentary film, Pet Fooled.

Kohl Harrington’s mission is to STOP THE ROT when it comes to our dogs’ health! For the past decade he has been studying the pet food industry, its regulations, and the role of the FDA, in the production and marketing of commercial pet food.

He challenges our assumption that, if a food is “regulated” then it must be healthy…. Well, cigarettes are “regulated” but we all know they’re not healthy.

Where do the ingredients come from that go into our dog’s food? How are these ingredients defined? For example, if it says “corn” does that mean it has to be “corn” as we eat it, or is it just the cob after the corn is processed off it for human use? Who makes these decisions? 

Regulation states that no meat other than that obtained by slaughter may go into the product, but if that’s the case, why does the EUTHANAZIA DRUG keep showing up in pet food? It begs the question: Are the regulations being enforced?

For the sake of your pet, and your peace of mind, tune in to today’s eye-opening podcast. Let’s all learn how to make better choices for our dogs!

You’ll Hear About: 

  • [02:00] Pet Fooled - the documentary
  • [07:10] What’s really in our commercial dog food
  • [09:00] Where the FDA comes in, and where food labels are misleading us
  • [10:30] How the euthanization drug keeps showing up in pet food
  • [14:00] If pet food is really “balanced”
  • [18:30] Where you can learn more about feeding raw, and what’s going on with the regulations and oversight
  • [23:00] Government decisions and definitions being made in secret from the public
  • [26:15] The power of switching to a raw diet
  • [29:00] How to choose a better food for your dog
  • [32:00] Preservatives that keep pet food “fresh” for 25 years are also making dogs sick
  • [39:30] Considering where our foods, and our dogs’ foods, come from

How You Can Get Involved:

Sign up to Kohl Harrington’s new course to learn more about this!

Join the movement to raise healthy happy dogs, instead of lining the pockets of rich Pet Food executives!

Nathalie Duthil-Cowham

My guest today is a wonderful lady who moved to Mauritius with her husband, David, and started up the Happy Tails Sanctuary from nothing but a piece of land generously donated by a local woman. In today’s podcast Nathalie shares this heartwarming and inspiring story with us. Happy Tails Sanctuary rescues dogs (and some cats!) from poverty, neglect and abuse, and nurses them back to health.

As Nathalie says, Happy Tails Sanctuary is “full of love,” and we feel this as she tells us about how happy her pack of 70 dogs are, running about in their large enclosures with a beautiful view of the beach, with their tails in the “happy” position.

Nathalie and David also run sterilization campaigns and dog welfare education programs in the community.

Amazingly, given the huge numbers of dogs rescued, Happy Tails Sanctuary has only existed for a few years. There is still a lot of work to do and Nathalie and David are looking for dog lovers to help them out.

Listen along as we hear how Nathalie’s journey to find happiness in her work turned out to be the dogs’ tale of rags to riches!

Show 18: Beating Cancer With Healthy Dog Food Recipes, with Ryan Alarid

Today’s Guest

RYAN ALARID - Advocate for healthy food for dogs, and author of Real Food for Dogs

My guest today is Ryan Alarid, who sadly, like many of us, lost his beloved family dog, Rosie, to cancer. Rosie was struck with frequent seizures that broke his family’s hearts. Her once happy and relaxed loving eyes showed pain, embarrassment and confusion as she deteriorated to the point of losing control of her bladder and falling down frequently.

Within 2 years of her diagnosis, after trying various remedies and medications with limited success, it was time to let Rosie go. 

Ryan and his family were devastated, but he was also MAD! Why did this happen? What could he have done to prevent it? 

This tragedy set Ryan on the path to finding the cause of Rosie’s—and many other dogs’— cancers. Today he shares with us what he learned, and how to potentially almost double your dog’s lifespan, and quality of life.

Let’s find out what our dogs REALLY need in their DIETS with Ryan’s Healthy Dog Food Recipe Books
