Description
In Episode 1, hosts Mark Drucker and Drew Webster talk to Marc Bekoff about who and what dogs are, how we humans can understand them better, and why we should simply let them be what they are: dogs! Our conversation takes a deep-dive into the nature of dog-appropriate behavior and how we can "listen" to them in order to support them, give them a great life, and have the best possible friendship with them.
