Learning the Language of Dog
SEASON: 1 | EPISODE: 1
In this heart-opening first episode of Dog Is Love, hosts Chrissy Wohltmann and Cara Kelly invite listeners to truly learn the language of dog. Our listeners come to us for a reason — because you already feel that your dog isn’t “just a pet.” You know there’s something deeper happening in those quiet moments: the look, the tail wag, the sigh at your feet.
Together, we explore what it really means to understand our dogs on an emotional level. Chrissy and Cara introduce the Three Foundational Principles of DOG, beginning with the first — How Dogs Live. Through story and reflection, they uncover how dogs read our energy, thrive on clear structure, and mirror the calm (or chaos) we bring into their world.
This episode is an invitation to see your dog through a new lens — to shift from managing behavior to nurturing connection. When we slow down enough to listen, we realize our dogs have been speaking to us all along.
