Welcome to Mini Off Duty, where we learn cool things about animals in ten minutes 🐾
In this episode, Mairead chats with Catherine from Snout & About, a dog behaviour consultant, all about how dogs feel, think, and communicate — and how kids can be the best kind of friend to their dog.
Together we learn:
-

-
Why dogs don’t like being hugged like teddy bears
-
The three-second rule for petting
-
Fun sniffing games dogs love (using things you already have at home!)
-
Simple safety rules to help dogs feel calm and safe
There’s also a fun quiz at the end to test what we’ve learned 🎉
