UK dog trainer Kay Attwood joins Victoria to share behind-the-scenes stories from her new UK TV series, Wagging Rights, which features comedians and their dogs, and why she never hesitated to speak up for the dogs on set. She then explains what canine cognition really means and how brain games can transform the way dogs and their people work together.
The conversation turns to dementia in senior dogs: the early signs that are often mistaken for "naughty" behavior, whether enrichment still helps, and simple ways guardians can make life easier for a dog whose world is changing. Drawing on their own experiences caring for aging dogs, Victoria and Kay offer insight and compassion for anyone sharing their home with a senior dog.
