Is Your Dog Really Naughty? Seeing Behaviour Through Their Eyes
Episode 1
Thursday, 8 January, 2026
In this episode of Kim and Carla’s Chinwag, Kim and Carla unpack why so many dogs are labelled as “naughty” — and why that label rarely helps anyone.They explore how behaviour looks very different when viewed from the dog’s perspective, and share three simple but powerful questions every owner (and professional) should ask:What is my dog feeling right now?What have they learned from similar situations before?What support does my dog need in this moment?The conversation covers practical tools like video analysis, the ABCs of behaviour (antecedents, behaviour, consequences), and why adolescence can be such a challenging — and misunderstood — stage of a dog’s development. Kim and Carla also touch on the importance of ongoing support for owners, especially when progress feels messy or nonlinear.A thoughtful, honest discussion for anyone who wants to move away from blame and towards better understanding, welfare, and realistic expectations.
